Silver Market Rest After Week of Shipments Drops in New York
Authorities deny attempts to corner the metal on the silver market as no silver bullion was shipped from New York to Europe last Saturday. In the week ending then, $572000 worth of silver was exported. Dealers see no lasting significance to the lull and expect shipments to resume normally.
