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.

K. P. McReynolds, Junior forester,
who is In charge of pre -sup press Ion
work in the forest service. Timber

with continued warm weather, it i
believed that within a very short time
there will be a fire hazard. McReyn

throw "that match."
Each CCC camp In the forest will
be trained extensively tills summer

cording to rank and duty, and on the
second day all the men wilt be com

It is the purpose of the forest ser
vice and the army to be able to or
