Greatness never embarrassed him. for he

New York Financier.


The gold production of the United States
averages about 81, $50. 900 per month. or be-
tween fifty-four and ffty-five millions per
year. AS we have exported no gold since
August, ii follows that quite an addition
must have been made to the reserve OF
specie from domestic sources alone. The
production since August, 1896 and January.
1897, could not have been less than 81. 900 :
600. and while a proportion OF this metal
has gone into the arts. the money increase
must have been considerable.
In the same time our imports OF gold were
about twenty-five millions. and the total
