That Peace hath her victories not
less renowned than War, is proven by
the fact that the United States and
Great Britain have settled their differ
ences growing out Of the dispute over
the boundary line between British
Columbia and Alaska. The United
States has practically secured every
thing for which it has been contend
ing and Great Britain yields to the
superior claim of this Government
and admits that the true boundary
line is ten marine leagues from the
coast of the mainland, following the
sinuosities of that coast. This very
satisfactory settlement Of a question,
that at one time babe fair to cause
serious trouble between the two gov
ernments. is a diplomatic victory Of
which the Administration may justly
he proud. 1t is in marked contrast
with the laundering efforts at diplo-
macy which marked the entire course
of the Cleveland regime.

of Martinsburg, and all others who
will participate, to take action in the
case and also prepare a memorial TO
be forwarded to our Senators and Rep

idea to invite Senators Elkins and

OUTPUT OF GOLD.
Notable Increase Shown by Official
Figures for the Year.

WASHINGTON. Oct 22.-The direc-
tor Of the mint, in his report upon the
production of the precious metals dur
ing the calendar year 1897, deals not
only with the production of gold and
silver in the United States, but in for
eign countries as well, and draws a.
comparison between the production Of
the leading producing countries Of the
world
The sources from which information
has been derived are the most authen-
tic and reliable, and the figures are as
nearly accurate as it is possible to OBJ
tain.
The value of gold produced in the
United States during the calendar year
1897 was $57, 1863 900. The South African
Republic holds first place, producing
gold to the value of $57 $50, 861; Austria
i2sia, 800, 6S4,1 1872, and Russia, $23, 245, 763
There was a notable increase in the
production Of gold in the world during
1897 over 1895. The United States in
creased $4,275,0O0; the South African
Republic made the remarkable gain Of
$l3, 1854 1872; Australasia increased S1O.-
502,2 and Russia $1,70979O.
The United States produced during
the year 53,S6O,000 fine ounces Of silver.
and Mexico 53,9O3, 100 fine ounces, a de-
crease for the United States Of 4, 974, 500
fine ounces and an increase for Mexico
Of 1926, 756 fine ounces.

PROFIT In STERLING
NEW YORK NOW THE CHEAPEST
MONEY MARKET IN THE
WORLD
TRADE BALANCE GROWING

Bank Totals Expected to Expand,
Though the Course of SpecuIa-
ton Seems to Be Checked
Gain In Deposits Heavy, but
al Indfcated-MOneyF Flowing In.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22-The Financier
says: New York is again the cheapest
money market in the world, and the
bank statement for the current week
indicates that for some time to come
it Is to hold that distinction. The
changes which in five weeks have
brought an expansion in the surplus re-
serve from Sd, 240, 400 to $23, Az, 1876 and
swelled the deposits nearly S46,000,0 900,
have been so rapid that their signif-
canoe Is not fully appreciated.
They emphasize the reutrn Of other
easier conditions. due in part to the
liberal policy Of the treasury with re-
spect to public deposits and also the
favored position of the United States
with regard to International exchange.
While European discounts last week
moved upward, American money rates
receded. AS natural consequence in
vestments in sterling bills, now coming
forward rapidly, afforded a safe profit.
and that this was taken advantage of
is seen in the increase Of $40, 607 800 in
loans reported for the week. Specie re-
ceipts, both from Europe and the Pa
cific coast, were considerable, and the
subtreasury's operations were in favor
of the banks. This accounts for the
gain of S., 105, 700 in gold. The interior
movement, what little there was of it
this fall, seems at an end, and the flow
of money is again in this direction. The
increase Of 1907, 800 in legals is to be
attributed to receipts from this source.
The heavy gain in deposits, in view of
the loan and cash changes is just about
normal.
The statement in detail presents
nothing that controverts the analysis
already given. The National City, as
usual shows the heaviest gains, and
the aggregate expansion of deposits can
be traced for the most part to seven
banks, the bulk Of the new loans fall
ing to the same institutions. 1t is in
teresting to note, however, that the
Central National, an institution with
large commercial connections, shows up
unusually we'll in the gains for the
week, indicating a revival in business
activity that is quite as important as
any the statement reveals.
With an assured supply Of money and
g. steadily growing trade balance, 1t
would not be surprising to see the to-
tails Of the New York banks expand
rapidly from this time on, even though
the course Of speculation seems to be
checked for the present.
