Show The Gold Jtttg IVarblctli II CHICAGO June 4A special from New York says J W Seligman < t Co are the most active opponents to the listing of sil ver bullion certificates on the Stock Exchange Ex-change This firm is probably the largest exporter of silver in the country and their opposition has considerable weight Tho senior member of the firm said today This country has not an ounce of silver m stock except what is held by the Government Govern-ment I we were to assimilate bullion in order to issue ccrcificatcs on it we should simply prevent so much gold from coming to us as wo receive gold for our exported silver The storing of silver would be a contraction of the money market Then again if we list these new certificates and create a fictitious or speculative market for them wo are likely to send up the price of silver as we do that of wheat In that case England and other foreign countries would return the silver they hold and take away gold in exchange They would be only too glad to saddle us with their silver We need gold and do not need silver Silver is of little importance to us except as we can find a foreign market for it and so we oppose the listing of new silver certificates |
