GOLD AND SILVER.

Production Of Gold and Sllvar sincs Coluu-
bus Discovered America.
We recently presented a summary Of q report
published bY DR.. Adolph Soetbeer upon the
productions Of the precious metals since the
discovery Of America Dr.. Soetbcer took the
year 14eoG; as the starting date in his com auta-
tions; and very properly, for the modern history
of gold and silver begins with the return OF
Columbus from the first voyage to the New
World. Toward the end Of the fifteenth cen
tury, before the treasures OF America were un-
locked, the supply OF the precious metals in
civilized countries had fallen far below the re-
quircmcnts OF trade. Mr. Jacobs conjecture in
regard to the specie which was available for the
exchanges Of Europe in 1892 rates the total
sum as no more than S165, ,00o,009. Since then
the mines OF the world have furnished over
fourteen and half billions In siver and gold.
We present below valuation Of the weights
tabulated by DR.. Soetbeer, for 333 years, from
1893 to 1875, supplemented BY an estimate OF
the production for The three years, 1915 to 1878,

THE WHEAT CORNER CLOSED.

End Of James Keene's Nine Months
Control OF the wheat Market.
CHICAGO, July 2O.-The Keene wheat
IDEAL" has probably closed, latter an un.
usually long existence Of about nine
months. Last October James Keene
entered this market as buyer, and, after
picking up several million bushels here,
found 1t necessary, or advisable, to extend
his operations to other cities. Since last
autumn he has partially controlled the
worlds supply Of wheat, and few persons
have been able 10 trade in it without pay.
ing him tribute. In the past nine
months he has handled perhaps 80
0OO,00O bushels OF wheat In this and
other markets, about two-thirds OF
the whole being bought and sold in Chi
cago. The operation closes with about
four and a half million bushels OF No.
Spring here and in Milwaukee, which has
been dexterously ''unloaded" to the trade
during the last thirty days, and is now in
process OF delivery on July contracts. The
operation has certainly been conducted
with eonsumate ability, as the whole
world Of wheat traders has been affected.
ltwould seem, however, that some per-
sons in the exporting line must have OBJ
tanned an inkling Of the intention to wind
up, as they were prepared TO buy heavily
