Treasury Officials Are Conferring With Western Producers. Washington, Dec. 3.—Treasury offi- cials today held the first of a series of conferences with western silver pro- ducers looking to the ultimate fixing of a standard rrice for silver, effective for one year, and to government acqui- sition of options on practically the entire output of the United States. Pressing needs of this country and the allies for silver coin under ab- normal war conditions is responsible for the -plans. It contemplates gov- ernment control of the market for American silver at a fixed price, prob- ably above the present market rate of 87 cents an ounce. Jewelers, manufacturers of dentistry and optical supplies and other silyer users would ccatinue to receive a sup- ply under the tentative government plan, probably at the standard price. Details of the arrangement are yet to be worked out, however, and offi¢ials today emphasized the statement that for the present the government is in- terested mainly in obtaining sufficient silver at a fair price for its own and. allied ‘coinage needs, and thereby to stabilize foreign exchange conditions. Great Btftain and France, particu- larly, need silver for coinage, and it is planned to distribute an equitable portion of the American output to them.
