New York--May 21--The Silver Institute said today in its World Silver Survey 1999 that government sales of silver jumped to 52.5 million ounces last year. At 6.2% of total supply, these sales were "more akin to the kind of levels regularly seen in the gold market," the survey said. From 1990-97, net official sector sales had accounted for only 1.3% of total silver supply, compa red 8.3% in case of gold. The bulk of the government sales came from China, Russia and the US, the survey said. By Melanie Lovatt, Bridge News, Story .20749 crbindex.com
