Government silver trade under Pittman act drives mint output
The United States Mint has named 48,000,000 ounces of silver since the Pittman act set the government price at 1.00 per ounce. The act requires replacing 270,000,000 ounces melted during the war and sold to Allied governments. In February the Philadelphia mint began stamping silver dollars for the first time since 1904, and by April 18 had coined 4,500,000 dollars. Treasury silver holdings reach 54,197,407 dollars, up 6,709,990 since March 1, signaling slow accumulation and potential long-term mining stimulus despite curtailments in other metals. Dollar silver appears as a bright spot amid metalliferous mining concerns.
