LONDON SEES A BOOM.
Statist Predicts Great Com
merciaI Activity in America.

London, Jan. 5--1mmense borrowing
by the market at the close of Deem
Der, was one of the chief causes Of ad-
vance in the Bank of England rate of
discount. The rise stopped the outflow
of gold towards Paris.
The Statist discussing the money po-
sition, considers the possibility of OBJ
tanning gold in New York increased by
the very large sales of American secuT-
tiles made by London in New York. The
greater portion of American stocks car
ried in London are for American ac-
counts and should the rate in London be
appreciably higher than in New York,
the stocks carried IN London by Dor
roWed money may be transferred to
New York. The Statist thinks that New
York can easily spare three or four mil
lions of gold.
A long article in the Statist on Amer
ica's changed international position con
cludes as follows:
1T is difficulty to believe the United
States will be able to employ advantage
ously the whole Of its new savings in
foreign investments. The reasOna bic
probability is that we are about to wit
ness a great outburst of new enterprise
in the United States. Industrial cornpa-
MES will be created, new industries will
be founded and new RAILWAYS or cOntin-
uations and branches of existing rail-
ways Will be constructed. Thus there
VIII be a vast outflow of capital at home
While It is not improbable the new col
onies may be developed on a larger
scale than hitherto If the United States
spends immense sums at home and does
not buy commodities on a great scale
and does not invest in foreign securities.
on an equivalent scale, it is obvious that
the more the trade balance turns in IA
vor of the United States, the greater
will be its ability to take gold from
Europe. Therefore the likelihood is that
money rates will rule high in Europe
because there will be always the danger
of q withdrawal OF American capital not
only from London but Germany.',

GREATEsT IN THE WORLD.
The United States Leads in the Pro
duction of Coal

New York, Jan 5.-The Engineering
and Mining Journal today gives a sum-
mary Of the mineral and metal produc-
ton Of the United States for the year
1900. This summary has been compiled
from advanced figures furnished by pro-
ducers and from official sources and
gives a complete statement of the gold
production Of the world for the year just
closed The total value of the metals
produced in the United States in 1900
was $509, 1872 as compared with $780,
O57, 32O in 1899 The value Of the output
OF non-metallic substances was $755,6S0,-
991 as against $645, 754, sos in 1899 The
total value for the two years after al
lowing for Implications was, respective
~, 81, 157, 162, 1872 and $1,049, 230, 594.
The more important items of this pro
dCction in metals were gold, valued at
SIS, 65S, 755; silver, valued at $37, 0S5,2 4S:
615,756,502 pounds Of copper valued at
$100,154, 345; 251,7S1 tons of lead valued
at SIS, COS, $50, 122, $50 tons of zinc valued
at SO, 7S6, 230, and last. but not least, 3D.
914,505. tons of pig iron, valued at $685.
O7S,737.
OF the non-metallic products by far
the most important was coal, of which
the United States produced no less than
274,847, 779 tons; the greatest quantity
ever produced in one year by this or any
other country. In 1899 the United states
was the largest producer Of coal in the
world and this pre-eminence was in
creased in 1900.
Other important products of this class
included cement, of which IL, S2S,69S bar
mineral paints, phosphate rock and slate,
while the minor mineral products includ-
ed a variety too numerous to mention
The total gold production Of the world
in 1900 amounted to $256, 462, 43S, which
compares with 1913, 641. 534 in 1899, the de-
crease being entirely owing to the stop
page of gold production in the Trans
vaa1 by the war, nearly all other pro-
ducing countries showing an increase.
In 1900 the United States took the lead
among the gold producing countries,
with SIS, 65S, 1855, Australia ranking Sec
ond with SIS, 283, 215. The large pro-
duction Of the Klondike has put Can
ada in the third place, with q total out
put of $26,00O,O00 while Russia was
fourth with $4,000, S62. These four
countries produced over so per cent. of
