Clever Attic Treatment VOCATIONAL CLASS Claims Discovery FEDERJHUYING Sharp Advances in London and Far East Send Price to 81 Cents in New York End Not . Yet in Sight By the Associated Pres. Silver soared again today as the New York price for the metal was let at 81 cents an ounce, up 4 centa. following earlier sharp advances In London and Far Eastern sliver cen ters. By the day's advances throughout the world, attention was focused on t Waahlnton, where many expected a further advance in the treasury's buying figure for domestically pro . duced metal, which, at 77.57 cents an ounce, was well behind interna 1 tlonal levels. President Roosevelt was . reported In conference with Secre tary of the Treasury Morgenthau, and while the subject of their talk was not definitely known, the silver situation was believed to be under review. $1.29 Aim Is Word. The basis or the expectation of a further rise tn the treasury buying figure was the statement of Thurs day of Secretary Morgenthau that sliver would be acquired until the price reached Is $1.29 centa an ounce, or the white metal comprises 25 per cent of the total metallic backing of the American currency, as provided in the sliver purchase of June, 1934. Shares of silver producers in New York and London worked higher, but the soaring rlsea of recent ses sions were absent, as some of the substantial profits of the last few days were realized by traders In New York advances In silver stocks ranged from fractions to around 2 points. The balance of the market was mildly Irregular. Grains In Sympathy. Silver was likewise assigned by some quarters as one of the causes of the better tone in grains at Chi cago, where wheat got ahead a cent or so a bushel. The passing of the influence of the failure of a large grain house there was also strength ening to sentiment In the grain nits. Fnr eastern and Mexican sliver monies pushed vigorously ahead in the New York foreign exchange mar ket. Mexican pesos advanced 3.15 cents to 31.75, Hongkong dollars were 2.50 cents higher at 62.00 cents, and Shanghai funde rose 1.50 cents to 42.00 centa. In London the price of the white metal climbed a further 1 pence an ounce to 36'i pence, equivalent to 78.73 cents. Buying was general, originating not only with local bro kers of the metal, but also from China and India. So great was the pressure ' of business that the of ficial price-fixing, conducted dally by leading metal brokers, was de layed half an hour after the cus tomary time.
