same reason and the extraordinary
efforts made last year to alleviate the
conditions of the panic.
1t is obveious merely from this
statement that the question of in
terest rates is the potent cause of
gold movements now that the cur
rency system of the leading nations
are all on a gold basis and there is
the universal feeling that gold can be
secured by any monetary centre when
actually needed. II Is true that the
balance of merchandise exports or
imports must always have large in
fiuence on the movement of gold, but
this merchandise balance does not
always control the movement. This
may he realized from the fact that
our exports of merchandise for the
past fifteen years have exceeded our
imports by $6.330.0S7. while our net
imports of gold over exports have
been but $314.02s. SOC. The balance
has been paid either in the ex-
penditures for foreign trade. the in-
terest and dividends on securities
held abroad. the returns of the sec
urities themselves or the withdrawal
OF the naldHces formerly nelu mere.
1t is evident then that many things
enter into a movement of the prcci-
Gus metals besides the merchandise
balance.
The present situation is one. how
ever, where the merchandise balance
is perhaps prime Importance as the
money markets of the leading ma
tons are all on a fairly even keel.
and the falling off in our exports

fferences in interest rates. II is pro-
badly true, however, that had 1t not

WoRLD's COPPER PRODUCTION.

Aron Hirsh & Sohn, Halberstadt,
Germany, in their annual statistical
publication, issued in February, give
zoo, 460 tons as the worlds produc-
tion of copper in 1907, a decrease of
46,440 tons as compared with the
figures for 1906. OF the total for
1907 the United States contributed
$40 per cent, considering the pro-
duction of the mines alone; the addi-
tion of the refined metal produced
from imported smelter products, in
creases this total to about 6S per
cent Of the other copper producing
countries Mexico contributed 50 per
cent of the worlds production; Spain

GOLD EXPORTS NOT SIGNIFICANT

The exports of gold now does not
have the same effect as II did former
~ for the matter is better under
stood. The current movement also
occures at time when the banks
have such a large surplus and the
demand for funds is so small that a
moderate amount of the precious
metal will not be missed. II has
ben learned by experience that we
canattract gold to this country when
ever we have need for 1t. and this of
itself shows that the old dread of
gold exports was baseless. The fact
is, that since the first of July 1905,
or period of three months short of
three years, we have imported on
balance $237,2SS,666 gold out of
total imports on balance for the past
fifteen years. less the three months
from March to June, of 4.02S,-
sos. This period has covered the
enormous imports incidental to the
San Francisco earthquake, the gold
attracted by the high interest rate Of
1907. and the imports caused by the
