not to have exceeded 500, 900. 900 In
the 4O4 years until 1896 the world S
production is estimated at $4,000, ,OOO,-
OOO-half of which was added to the
money supply. Including the esti-
mate for 1905, in the ten years begin
ming with 1896, nearly $4,000, 100000
In gold has been mined-almost a
third as much as during the preced-
Ing 4Oi years. This despite the fact
that the BOer war Tor two years closed
the Transvaal mines. The production
in 1903 was $325, 900, 600; in 1904,
$35O,O00,OO0 and for 1903 it is eSt-
mated at 100000, 900 The worlds
stock Of money gold in 1897 was ap-
proXimately four and a quarter bill
lions. BY the end of the present year
1t is estimated that it will be almost
six billions-an increase of nearly so
per cent in nine years.
