Eldon A Grimm of Walston & Co notes silver equities track the metal price with world hoarding and a U.S. tax on speculative profits shaping supply. Joseph E Granville of E F Hutton & Co adds that gold stocks drew interest as traders anticipated silver’s move.

Steel Leads Sharp Snapback Of Market
In Chicago a brisk but uneven demand for butcher hogs accompanied a light 6500 head sale with mixed grades at 15 to 17 dollars and sows to 14.50. Cattle offerings were too light for price tests though some heifers cleared at 23.25 and utility bulls 18 to 20.25. Lambs brought 14.50 to 16.50 for good to prime classes while wild market action in New York sent the Dow up 7.20 to 728.80 and the AP 60-stock average to 266.30 as steel shares led a broad market rally with strong volume.
