Weall ing prices within the United States; or to substantially lessen competition there. Bat ns American producers ex- port 80 per cent, while domestic consump tion is only about 20 per cent of the domestic and foreign silver coming cach year on the New York and United States. markets, an export pool would neces Barily control both the world and domes tie prices. This, in the view of the De- partment of Justice, whose opinion on the question was sought, would make an export pool's operations illegal ment this situation in the silver industry, the law would have to be amended, which is regarded as altogether unlikely. An- other peculiarity of the silver smelting business works against an export pool. Unlike copper, the silver smelter buys outright and is the titular owner of all silver and gold in ores. It pays the mine on the basis of the full market price and gold in ores. The smelter cannot afford to risk carrying the metal, it must retain liberty of action to sell each day at the market price its intake. An export pool would pro-rate" sales and destroy such liberty of action and would compel 'carrying the metal. This was one cause of the withdrawal of many members of the Copper Export As- sociation. The leading copper and silver interests are identical. It has been pro- posed to meet this difficulty by having the mines 'carry their own silver, as the leading mining companies do with their. copper, and to sell through the central agency. It was further proposed by a United States Senator to help the mines- and agency 'carry' their product, to amend the Federal Reserve Act of 1917 so ns to make sot only acceptances for warehoused silver rediscountable, but Riso notes secured by warehouse receipts for stored (unsold) silver.".
