FICURE 1.—World monetary stocks of gold and silver, 1900—1941.


 Indian demand.—It has been impossible to compute statistically India's
absorption of silver in 1941 because of the almost total lack of official
figures or even estimates covering imports, exports, ' and Indian Government,
sales. The only pertinent information available is that in February and April
3,500,000 ounces were shipped to India from the United States and 875,000
ounces from Canada.
