Figures compiled by the LONDON
Statist show that for the year 1908 the
worlds output of gold was 100000
900, the largest since any record has
been kept of the yield of precious
metals, and without doubt the greatest
in the history of the world. 1t is more
by 100000 than for the preceding
year and by s19,000.000 than for the
year 1906 The outlook is for further
expansion, as there has been no seri-
GUS working out of present fields and
present methods of mining and ex-
tracing the gold have greatly de-
creased the loss of metal in the process
of milling and reduction.
The figures of gold production are
especially interesting as bearing upon
the high prices prevailing all over the
civilized world. Increase of consump-
ton in food products in the ratio 1t
bears to production PLAYS a part, but
it is the general verdict of political
economists that imitation of circulating
medium is always accompanied by
higher prices AS gold has become by
common consent the circulating me-
dunn of all the great commercial ma
tons. this vast influx of that metal can
scarcely fail to have had its effect
