Above are women who hayo come to the aid of a Lancashiro farmer, gathering the crop of potatoes, described by the farmer as "wonderful.”

SILVER SPECULATION Over-Bullishness Causes Difficulties in Bombay

London, Dec. 4. The fixing of the price of allver was delayed for an hour to-day due to the critical speculative situation In Bombay where the local price was equivalent to 31d. per ounce.

The difficulties on the Bombay, market were attributed to over- bullishness, speculators reportedly having bought BOTIC 25,000,000. ounces, hoping to re-sell to up- country hoarders. But the latter are strangely slow in buying at the pre- sent rate, and purchases have been- made at the rate of only a few thou- sund ounces. daily, hence the fears. that the Bombay price will topple.

Paradoxically the "bears are also worried. Dealers sold silver not in their possession, and are finding the ulmost dimculty In securing the ectual metal for delivery.

In the meantime both London and Bombay are endeavouring' to check the Indian allver boom without pre- cipitating a collapse; hence the Lon- don price is being köpt insulated from the Bombay price.-United Press,
