Production OF Gold and Silver.

The report just issued by the direc-
tor of the French mint contains some
important facts on the coming of
gold and silver The production of
monetary units in the mints of France
has been steadily increasing for a
number of years. In 1894, the num-
Der Of pieces Of money coined for
France. her colonies, and foreign
countries was 10000, 600 in 1895, 54,
OOO.OOO; in 1896, 50 100000 in 1897,
1900. 600 and in 1898, 9s,OOO 600
The miat can double this output.
Russia alone has had - OOO,O 900 coins
struck in France since 1896. The
French mint has also done work
during the past two years for Indo
China, Tunis, Ethiopia, Morocco and
Bolivia.
The quantity of gold produced dur
ing the last fifteen years is placed at
13,OOO 600, 600 francs, or,in round mum
bers, 81, 500, 600, 900, of which amount
the Transvaal is credited with pro-
duction Of 1000, 900 francs 1880
900, OOO). 1t is believed that not less
than 100000 pounds have been used
in the arts. The weight Of gold struck
annually into coins varies between
600, 600 and l,32O 600 pounds. The
quantity recoined is to be added to
this But in spite of the increase in
the output, welLknown economic
writer declares that the war in the
Transvaal will cause a scarcity Of the
metal in many commercial centres,
the result being a great falling of in
the quantity used in the arts.
The report notes constant in
crease in the output of silver The
writer just quoted, in speaking Of
this, says
mo one can see where the masses
Of silver are going which continue to
pour out upon the world, or where
they are to be used. The old l5k
standard is now but myth, and the
price has fallen from 22O francs for
kilogram ($42 46 per 2.2O46 pounds Of
fine silver to 100 francs $40 3O). In the
presence Of such decrease in price,
one would expect a diminution in
production; but the case is just the
reverse. The fact that the yield
steadily increases proves that pre-
vailing'rates are remunerative."
The production Of silver has risen
from Z, 1000 tons in 1888 to 6,OOO tons in
1898. OF this, it is estimated that
$3.50, 600 pounds are absorbed in the
arts and general industry, divided
among countries as follows In the
United States, $4,000 pounds; in
France, $3.50, 900 pounds; the same in

New York, Dec 22.-According to

Business men who have shipped
goods into Cuba have been taught by

the officials than to remain honest and

officials did not care to deal with hon
