THE COUNTRY SURE OF AN ABUNDANCE

 The circular of Henry Clews, under date of New York, August G. says: The stock Mar ket maintains very strong undertone in spite of limited activity. Peace prospects, of course, strengthen values; but the approaching ces- sation of the had relatively little effect The situation is. however relieved of very serious doubts; there will be no further bis bond issues, and the possibility of international complications is more remote than at any time since the war began. Home conditions are unchanged. We have so frequently re- marked upon the improved agricultural, indus trial and commercial condition of the country that repetition is unnecessary. Nothing ex- cept unforeseen troubles can prevent higher stock market At the moment the market re- fuses to move upward with any degree of force, because the big leaders are not prepared 10 take the initiative. Many are away; and the critical period of the crop situation Is sateIy passed. Should no vigorous damage happen the upward movement Is likely to be Vigor- ously renewed without opposition.
 An important factor in the situation will be the large increase of gold production. Accord ing to the Mint Bureau at Washington @ 6ne worlds product of gold In 1897 was S24O, OOO 0V0 and the product CT 1898 Is estimated at $27S. . COG, 000 Increase of $35 900, 900.

Ten years ago the worlds gold product was Sl10 GOO. Since amounts. as just said, to about $275.0o0 600. This does not look like any scarcity of the precious metal, especially considering the pros poets of supplies and the increasing use of other forms of money. Certainly there will be no scarcity of gold in the United States; for in addition to increasing output and the Klondike supply we are likely to have a large ance The latter can be settled by returning our securities which Is not likely; by an out flow of American capital into foreign coun- tries, which may occur to some extent now that the war is over: by the sending of gold, that being the most probable outcome.
