SILVER CIRCLES CONFUSED

New York, To-day.

Silver circles, both in the United States and Mexico, aré. very confused pending further clarification of future procedure by the US. Treasury as well as the Bank of Mexico regarding Mexican silver.

While numerous conjectures in this connection are tending to heighten the uncertainty, there is an absolute lack of offi- cial indication as to the status of Mexican silver in the world markets after April I from the standpoint of the U. S. Treasury purchasing programme.

Private opinions that the Treasury embargo on Mexican silver may be the forerunner of modification of the silver pur- chase programme, appear to be entirely unsubstantiated-Reu- ter
