LONDON SILVER FIX HIGHEST SINCE APRIL 1985
Silver bullion was fixed at 674.50 cents
an ounce, its highest since mid-April 1985, dealers said.
    The metal continued to be supported by gold/silver ratio
dealing, with traders buying silver and selling gold.
    Dealers said the market also featured some panic
short-covering.
    Silver moved steadily higher during the morning after
opening at 671/674, up from its previous close of 663/665.
    Three months was fixed at 426.50 pence, up from last
night's final 418.50/420.50.
