PITTMAN.

In an interview with Reuter, he said, that with half the world knowing no other coinage, a rise in the price of silver would con- sequently benefit them. The price of silver was exactly half of what it should be. Stabilisation of the price would help China to pay off her debt and assist in éther ways.

Senator Pittman paid tribute to other countries' delegates for their assistance, especially to the Chinese Finance Minister, Mr. T. V. Soong and the Indian delegates, whose spirit of co-operation convin- ced him that they would not fail to reach an agreement.-Reuter. Optimism On Wall SILVER PRICES.

SILVER BROKERS PREDICT BENEFIT TO MARKET.

New York, To-day. The silver

agreement is regarded by Wall Street silver, brokers as the most construc» tive development since Sen- ator Key Pittman's recent sil- ver legislation in Congress re- garding war debts.

The interpretation of the agreement is that the market will have to absorb only the new production of the next four years which is regarded as a notable gain in view of the

heavy stocks in India and else

where.

The absence of an agree ment for a definite ratio of. silver as part of the currency. backing for signatory nations is regarded as unimportant in view of the salutary effect of the present agreement on mar ket conditions, though it is be- lieved that a such pact is like- ly to develop in the near fu ture.
