The Gold Problem.

An authority on money estimates the known stocks of gold in the world at $3,- 332, ,000000, or about enc half the produc- tion from the time data on that subject began to be collected, a little over four hundred years ago. l. is estimated that $25c0,000000 has gone Into the arts and sciences, leaving $2,500O00 unaccounted for hrrdreds of millions of this latter are, no doubt, represented in secret hoards There are vast sums O. Hidden wealth In the Orient and in some of the older countries of Europe The authority in question concludes his presentation with tne following:
 1T is not surprising, therefore. that with the immense yield of gold in re- known and unknown, greater than at any should have developed what may be term ed the gold problem This problem may be divided Into two parts. First, the great gold production has so changed the standard of value as to have disturb ed prices and reduced the purchasing power of the dollar. Second, there has been such an increase In the stocks of money as to occasion a doubt as to wheth- CT the addition to the circulation had not gone too far. and had already done harm by inspiring over-inflation and over speculation. Whatever may be said re- garding these phases of the gold problem. there can be no doubt that the immense production of gold In the past few years Is responsible for many of the phenomena in business that mystify and disturb bus mess men,

 Net Revealed.
MANUFACTURES GO DOWN
BY ". G. NICHOLAS.

New York, August 27.-At every dis play of reactionar.' tendency in the stock market the bear contingent starts in pell mell to sell everything on the list. Thus far the reactions have not been impor- tart and on each oo asion have been fol- lowed by a sharp recovery. There is, nevertheless. very stron. element in the Street which believes the improvement in general business conditions has been fully discounted by the rise which has taken place in S. eurtie5 prices and that there should. at least, be halt of some duration in the market.
 The advance in sto ks has been mark ed by fragrant manipulation Artificial stimulation has been most conspicuous in Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. These stocks have been marked up $2e and sl5 share respectively. Whether or not there has been important distribu- tion at the hiel range is problem. The burden of opinion seems to be that the insiders are still in possession of im- mense speculative lines which will not be sold out until the frs: output of $4OOOO. 0VJ of Southern Pacidc preferred stock has been subscribed and paid for. The grand purpose of the manipulated rise in the Hartman stocks was to make the Notation of this new issue easy. That purpose accomplished the next move of the insiders naturally will be to reduce their speculative holdings. An alert con itingent is on the lookout for that dlstri- button to begin. The signs of the mar ket are being studied carefully and ev- cry move is analysed by the smoothest traders in the Street with view of talk ing advantage of the unloading process to get on the shcrt side of the market
 Already the Street is talking of the huge Harriman-SchiiI lire or stocks u monaco to the market. The phrase hang ing over the marnel is used when dis cussing these stocks, which has more or less ominous sound when applied to the speculative situation. The resources of the Harriman-Schiff faction are ap- parentiy inexhaustible, however. and as it Is aided by a glut of cheap money there will be no need of haste in unload ing. Possibly, general conditions may continue sc. overwhelmingly strong that the distribution can be completed without seriously affecting the market as a whole.

Traction JuggIe a Secret.

The juggle in the New York traction companies has rot yet beea revealed. In- siders are making the most of the mys- tery and the excitement they worked up in the market has not yet entirely sub sided. The Subway will be in operation in a few weeks and will divide the Dus- mess that now goes to the elevated and surface roads. Just wherein the juggle of the stocks and bonds of the companies is going to be of real value to the stock holders Is not clear. The leger domain will not put an additional nickle in any of the slots nor increase the gross in- come of the three propert.-3 an iota De- spi.e this obvious truth the securities have experienced s..arp jump and the gulible public has been investing heavily at the high figures. All told the several transportation companies on Manhattan Island and the Bronx carry 1,O00. GOO 600 passengers a year. The gross revenue approximates $50, 100000 Eventually the Subway and the projected extensions of the elevated and surface lines through out the Bronx and Weschester county will develop these sections and vastly in- c. aase the popu...llon, but this will take years. This development may be at the expense of Brooklyn and it's surrounding suburbs. For :. year or two past Brook lyn has been sroN N----; faster than any other American Iity

BOA CONSTRUCTOR
 BECOMES FAMOUS
SERPENT IS FEET IN LENGTH AT ATHLETIC PARK IN NEW OR- LEANS-LlkE A WHITE ELE- PLANT.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 Lonely and neglected and for the time being an orphan a large boaconstrictor, said to be fourteen or fifteen feet in length, lies curled In a larg- box at A.h- letc park awaiting the appearance of his owner, J. F. C..nihac. manager and owner of the Canihac Zoo. The big snake is an outcast, and the knowledge of this seems to have made him sad. He appar- entity has not a friend in the world, for eyer since he escaped from sack on board the steamship Louisiana six or, eight weeks ago, he has not been near his mate and his owner cannot be found
 The big boa began his chapter of in cidents on board the Louisiana. He and hi.s mate were put on the ship at Havana They were tied up in sack and placed in the ships hold. near where monkey cal cred about When the vessel had put out to sea. the monkey, becoming ven turesome tempered with the string which held the ends of the sack, and finally united it. Then the larger of the two snakes, the orphan at Athletic park, crept out and crawled into a dark cor ner of the hold. That was the last that was seen of him on that occasion. The ship was thoroughly searched but no snake was found and it was finally de- cided that he had jumped overheard and been lost at sea. The hold was washed out and steamed. but the big snake slept on. About five weeks later the Louisiana was lying at wharf in Ha- vana when Cuban In the hold discover ed him wrapped around a beam The Cuban thought it a huge rope, and tried to pull it off Then the snake awakened. He slapped the Cuban on the side of his head and slightly dam aged one of his ears. The boa was af- forwards caught boxed up and brought to New Orleans
 Meantime Canihac and his zoo had fin ished their engagement at Athletic park and moved on to Delmar garden. When he arrived in St. Louis the Canihac zoo had left for parts unknown. Not wish ing to be burdened with a big snake especially when the snake ate a chicken and a guinea pig for breakfast each morning. the railroad company sent hlm back southward. and the big fellow is again at Athletic park From large boa constructor he has developed into a larger white elephant

Great Money surpIus.

New York has never before been bur dened with such an accumulation of mo- ney as that which now fills the vaults of her banks and trust companies. Any number of millions can be borrowed on call at one per cent or less, and there has been no perceptible hardening in the rates for time money. h.gLt months mo- ney is obtainable at ? per cent and six months at per cent. A steaey absorp of bonds going on, all classes being in demand. The higher class issues are pretty well cleaned up, however, and buyers are obliged to contcn. themselves with the middle class oL put Some great bargains in this class of securities are obtanable and investors are looking kindly on taem. Many issues of new Donds yield 515 to 6 per cent and even higher al present cost and tn temptation to put money Ito them IS proving ire slstible. Practically they are as safe as those yielding Sia to per cent the chief difference being matter of age and familiarity.

ever, is an absurdity, and there Is feel ing that nothing short of famine can excuse the extravagant prices to which the cereal has been pushed by the Chi cago bulls. $115 wheat is catalogued in the trading mind along with 20 cent cot ton. Nevertheless, the fact exists that high prices are being paid for wheat in the greatest grain market in America, and this fact Is not without It's influence on the traders in tsocks. That the dam age to wheat will be more than offset by the bumper corn and cotton crops and agricultural abundance in other partlcu- lars is certain. But wheat as the lead ing speculative comnodit. in the ce- real line command. more than it's right full share of atte.gtion. The corn crop this year will be double the cash value of wheat. even though the latter sells throughout the season at $1 a bushel. Cotton at $50 a bale will represent this year more than s6Oo, 100000 of wealth ad- ded to the total.

Price May Shrink.

The price of manufactured articles, par ticularly iron, steel and allied lines. seems destined to undergo further shrinkage all though possibly not to the extent antici- pated by many. Should this theory prove correct there may be an accompanying shrinkage in wages, but there Is general hope that this latter may be averted. The thing most likely to occur will be a still
 further cutting of dividends on watered securities issued by industrial corpora tlons. This would seem to be foreshadow- cd to a degree by the dullness prevailing in most manufacturing securities. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. not ably Shelters which has experienced sharp advance during the last three months on big earnings and valid prom ise of an increased dividend to 5 per cent.

Promise of Large Production.

There is promise of a larger aggre- gate agricultural production than any year in our history-larger in quanti- ty and worth more ia dollars and cents Indications are that the total will be greatly in excess of that of the census year. which is officially given at $4717.- 00o.00O With this for a basis there Is growing feeling that times will continue to improve and that tierc Is not likely to occur further seriC recessions in the stock market, except such as may result from the dumping of manipulated spe- cialtles.

Market Disturbed.

The wide speculation in wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade has more or less disturbed the stock market latterly. There continues to be an open expression of skepticism with rega1d to the reports of experts, although 1t is now acknowledged that material damage to spring wheat has actually occurred That there is go- ing to be anything like famine. how

MORE DELAY.

ss Paris Feb n-Another delay has
occurred in framing and forwarding the
Russian answer to the latest japanese
note, and this will result in further
averting the elimination Of the crisis
until the middle of the latter part oi
this week.
The official advices received here
from St Petersburg today although
somewhat negative, gave definite de-
tails OF the status OF the note and the
programme it was intended to follow.
Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign
minister, had expected that the ex-
changes going on would have permitted
the final drafting OF the answer SO that
il could have been presented to the czar
yesterday for his approval, but the ex-
pectation was not realized, and, as a
matter of fact, the answer has not yet
been finally drafted. 1t was therefore
determined to defer its Submission to
the car until next Tuesday or Wednes-
day. Efforts are still being made to
shape this answer so as to prevent q
rupture.
This. new delay Is Interpreted as
slightly improving the situation, as it
indicates that Russia is making ex-
trenle efforts to bring the answer with
IN limits acceptable to Japan,

EMPRESS FAvoRITE,

London. Feb r. According to dis
patches from Pekin an English lady,
Miss Kate Carl, has for some months
been staying with the dowager ern-
press of China as her guest. Miss
Carl, who is an artist Of great talent,
left Paris, where she has resided for
some years, for China last spring. Co
ing UP to Pekin to stay with the Aineri-
can minister, She was presented to the
doWager empress, who tlereupon took
a violent fancy to her, and insisted on
her taking TIP her abode itl a suite of
rooms i'll the palace. Here the first
English Woman who ever stayed within
the sacred precincts, she is waited up
on hand and foot. The highest court
officials are obliged TO kow-toW to
her, and SHE takes precedence. even of
the late Chinese ambassador in France
and his family, BY whom She had often
been entertained IN Paris. The dis
patches say that Miss Carl is now en-
gagged in painting three large portraits
of her august hostess, one OF which
will shortly be ready for despatch 70
