GOLD SELLING AT *29.02
PER OUNCE
-‘•v '
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. (Jfy —
The Treasury tried something new
today and American gold miners
were remunerated for his product
Vi « *
The price jumped more than
forty-three percent to almost thir
ty dollars an ounce, all of which
is a result of the recent executive
order from Roosevelt. Acting un
der the President's edict, releasing
newly mined gold from the rigid
order forbidding exports or the
sale of tbe .precious metal, the
Teasury officials obtained quot
ations from the world’s principal
markets which filled several sheets
of paper, with figures emerged
with the announcement that “dom
estic arts and crafts and indust
ries and professions licensed to
receive gold for use in their busi
ness may buy It today for twenty
nine dollars sixty-two cents per
ounce. The gain for the gold min
er lay in the fact that previously
he had only one market for his
output, the U. S. mint and tha
price there had been fixed for
years at twenty-dollars sixty seven
cents before American dropped from
the gold standard.
The world price hovered in the
vicinity of that figure but since
the decline in the dollar’s value
abroad the price of an ounce of
gold in foreign markets fluctuated
in the neighborhood of thirty doll
ars. Now the domestic market
has the first call on a free gold
supply and the highest * current
world price is taken as a basis
from the figure. Shipping charges,
• assay fees, insurance and the cost
of handling iees are deducted and
the result if the gold price.
