lna director OF the Mint estimates
tho annual consumption to be little
over s56, 900, 000
Please note that the present produc.
tion is considerably over twice the
amount Of the average yield of the So
called Golden Era" of from 1910 to
1876, and that thero is every prospect
OF large increases for years to come.
For the past few years hoardings
through distrust and the demand of
nations passing to gold basis have
consumed the increase; but this tend
ency seems to have passed its climax
and We look for the growing production
to have immediate effect upon general
business.
We have been calling attention for
some considerable time to the present
exceptionally favorable conditions iu
this country.
The Commercial and Financial
Chronicle, in Saturdays issue, said:
Tho salient features of the week
have been the much higher prices for
wheat, higher rates for money, lower
rates for foreign exchange, increasing
railroad earnings and strong stock
market. These features account for
the buoyaut feeling prevailing, and,
with business on all sides becoming
more active, show sound baais for
the belief that the present good cheer
is not transient sentiment, but the
effect of real and substantial progress.
There can be no doubt that the rail-
roads this season will be taxed to their
fullest capacity to carry the traffic
which will be offered, and that there
will be frUe movement OF freight, west
hound as well as east bound. This LAT.
ter statement is an assured inference
because the crops are heavy, prices are
high and the profits consequently are
large, and large profits necessarily will
be followed by large purchases of COM
modities by those who secure these
good returns for their products. That
is a reasonable conclusion and an in
variable result OF conditions such as
exist to-day, the mors likely this year
because of the severe economies of past
Seasons. I"

of the owners OF the barges was to use
one barge at the BIeakwater to unload
