day, in the statement that this
country, at this moment, possesses about
a quarter of all the gold that has been
made up into money in the entire world.
To quote the official figures correctly,
there is now in the United States Onclud- =
ing treasury coin and bullion) one thou
sand two hundred millions of gold money,
whereas the worlds entire stock of gold
money is worth less than FIVE thousand
billions ($4,9 COG, 200, 900, according to the
latest f~igures). New York financiers bellows
Uncle Sans figures as to his own gold
money are shy, and that in truth the
amount CT gold money in the country is
close to 81, $50, OOO, OO0-a billion and a
quarter-while all the rest of the world
possesses less than $3E50, 000, 900. This
is a larger sun of coined gold than has
ever been possessed by a single nation
in the history Of the world.
Next to the United States, according to
the latest reports, comes France, with
1910, eco, 900. followed by the British empire.
with $769, 200, 900; Russia, with 1924 800, 900.
and Germany, with 1921, 300, 900. So far
as coined gold is concerned, II will be OBJ
served, the United States is in a class by
itself.
The British empire is second in the Sec
ond class, but Great Britain proper is last,
its store of coined gold amounting only to
$511, 900, 900. All other peoples are so far
behind in the race as not to be eligible even
for the second class. AUSTRIA Hungary
leads the third class with about $3.50. OOO, 900,
but even at that the great empire is very
poor in gold money, relatively as we'll as
actually, for her gold supply amounts to
less than $4.9O per capita for her popua-
ton of $1,000. 900 souls. Uncle Sans chill
dren have nearly SIC in gold apiece. which
is less than the citizens OF the French
republic, for each Of whom there is a little
more than S21 of gold coin a head. Ger

New York, March 11.-Wall street
sentiment experienced a sense of relief
when the reports of the early London
market showed that powerful support
was afforded the Kaffir market there
and that very little damage had re-
suited elsewhere from the shock of the
capture by the. Beers of Gen. Methuen.
The price of British consols yielded only
a shade, which was probably the most
accurate index of the real gravity of
the event in it's influence upon British
financial affairs.
The revised reports of the output of
gold from the Witwatersrand for Feb
ruary is probably of more real impor-
lance at this stage of the war, and it's
showing may help to explain the in
difference of the London market to the
Methuen disaster. According to this
report by the Transvaal Chamber of
Mines, S1,405 ounces of gold were taken
out during February, compared with
70.340 in January, 53,S97 in December
and no more than 39,095 in November.
This rate of resumption of the gold
output means much to the foreign
financial world and indirectly to New
York, while it is called upon to sup
ply European deficiencies due to the
cutting off of the South African sup
ply of gold.
The calmness of the London market
led to some covering by shorts in this
market which were put out late yes
terday in hope of covering at a profit
on London selling this morning. There
was a renewed movement in some OF
the minor specialties which have been
the faVorites for some time past.
The news of the deposit at the sub
treasury of 81 $50, 900 in gold for tele-
graphic transfer to San Francisco in
connection with the traction merger
there called renewed attention to our
own domestic money market situation.
The selling movement which followed
threw the market into irregularity for
the rest of the day. The earlier gains
were generally wiped out by the first
selling on this news, there were some
subsequent recoveries, but the market
closed heavy in tone and without ami
nation. Without counting today's
transfer to San Francisco, the mar
ket's loss to the sub-treasury since the
last bank statement, counting the Sat
urday shipments of gold for which pay
ment was made to that institution,
amounts to $4,5S1, 900. The rate for New

on by failure on LiverpooPs part to
fuily respond to the heaviness here
OF yesterday. Moreover, the trade here
mad made some reckoning on a serious
decline under the bad South African
news, but to which English traders
seemed to attach little Importance so
Tar as its effect upon cotton and cotton
goods were concerned. Following the
call Liverpool continued to work higher
ana prices in the local ring improved,
the belief being that weak long cot
ton had pretty thoroughly been shaken
out, and that bull support was once
more at hand. Houston estimated
small receipts for tomorrow and
Southern spot market news was bull
lsh. But after rising to $50 for Nav.
and to S.S6c for July, fresh liquidation
set in and bear pressure became a fea-
ture. A large estimate for ,to-morrow's
New Orleans receipts and fear of stop
orders being reached, caused room
longs and shorts alike to take the sell
ing side. Before a rally occurred May
broke to SIZE and July to S.76c. For
the rest of the session the market was
very feverish, at times stiffening on
demand from shorts to secure profits,
out later weakening again under pres
sure of long cotton. The close was
barely steady with prices, points
lower to l point higher. Total sales
were estimated at 250 900 bales.

New York, March .-Notwithstand-
ing the better advices from Liverpool
than expected, the market here has not
shown any great resistance to the slow
liquidation which has continued on the
heavier movement than expected. 1t
now seems probable that the movement
in sight for the week will equal, if not
exceed, that of last season, and this
outlook brought slow outside selling. A
reaction was not sustained, and the
supporting orders on the basis of S.S0c
for July were not large enough to sus-
tain the market, which now
depends entirely on the receipts.
as the time has come when they must
show falling off to bear out the short
crop and reports of exhaustion of the
interior supplies to attract fresh spec
ulatiOn and spinning buying.

spot cotton closed steady and I'M

of 2OS Another scare apparently fol-
lowed that of yesterday at New York,
and under the strong pressure of liqul-
dation the futures market staggered
more than once and closed steady, 4
lower to l higher. This produced a
dampening effect upon spots, though
the latter held stubbornly, with holders
unwilling to accept any sort of decline.
In the f. o. b. market the play of buy
ers was to pick up cotton at lower
prices, but this did not result in much
business. Long since the country was
thoroughly convinced that this is a
moderate crop, and that the worlds de-
mands are to be large, so that there
may not be an excessive supply. De-
clines such as those the past two days
have therefore been regarded by the
country as natural pauses. Another
outburst of buying is looked for soon,
which may carry prices up, as did the
last support the market received from
the public. Current quotations for r.
