CONTROL OF SILVER BY U.. 15 SOUGHT Pan-American Parley in Reno May Dethrone London as Price-Fixing Center. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE, To transfer control of the world's sil- ver market from England to the United States is one of the primary purposes of 4 pan-American conference on silver to be held at Reno in August. The con- ference will be held under the official auspices of the gold and silver investi- gating commission appointed by the United States Senate on the last day of the late Congress. The chairman of the commission Senator Tasker L. Oddie of Nevada. The other members of the senatorial commission are Messrs. Walsh of Montana, Sterling of South Dakota, man of Nevada and Good- ing of Idaho. Formation of a silver export associa- tion and formulation of plans for vigor- ous representation of silver interests in is Congress on farm bloc lines will also | be discussed at Reno. All of the silver- producing states of North, Central and South America will participate in the meeting, which is the first attempt ever made to league them for common etion Not all of them may favor the idea of dethroning London &3 the world's s center. Vast amounts of British capital are invested in North and South Ameri- can mine: American Output Largest. “The three Americas of the western hemisphere,” said Senator Oddie to this writer, “produce 90 per cent of the world's annual output. of 000,000 to 200,000,000 ounces of si ver. Mexico, the United States and <anada, in the order named, mine the 0,000,000 ounces. Central and South America, Detween them, with an output of roundly 16,000,000 ounces, produce al- most as much as Furope and Asia combined. It is because of thix over- whelming American predominance in the silver industry that it is desired 1o make New York. instead of Lon- don, the center where prices are fixed. “London since time immemorial has regulated the silver market with auto- cratic authority A few bankers in Threadneedle street, like the great firm of Samuel Montagu & Co., come t IVEN THAT THD inz between Frank Lambros, and eonducting_the ng business in prem- . .. wil as of July 1, 3 continue the entire husiness, and Mr. Frank Tsler is no longer in- terested therein or connected therewith Claims, any. against wald partnership should be o ras assumed pm un was struck by sireet enn IMPSON €O, t bis ‘ions uniess person ontracted by SCREEN WORK. remadeling.
