Producers Urged to Fix Silver Price at Denver Meeting
At the Western Mining Conference in Denver, speakers urged uniting North and South American silver producers to control the market and prevent substitution of other metals for coinage. Bulkeley Wells said 80 percent of U S silver output and most of world supply are in the Americas and supported forming a cooperative agency to direct the consolidation with English interests included. He noted currency turmoil and high world credits demand more money metals and that Pittman Act prices have not spurred sufficient silver production behind mining costs.
