HEAVY INDIA SALES

H.K. BANKS OPERATE TO SUPPORT RATES.

Messages through Reuter from London explain to some extent the condition of the silver market at' yesterday's close and the movements which led to the sharp decline of prices.

It is explained that India sold heavily during the day, but America, China and speculators bought at the fall. The market was steady.

After the official fixing, Reuter continues, there was further heavy India selling which was absorbed by good American buying and, finally, the market re- mained steady at the fixed rates, 312, as compared with 32.5/16 the day previous.
