WORLD'S GOLD OUTPUT.
NeaU Director of the Mint Expected
to Report Continued Increase.
TFrom The tribune Bureau. ]

washington, Sept 25.-One Of the first duties in
cunbent on the Director Of the Mint, Professor
Andrew Of Harvard, viii be the issue of the annual
statement on the worlds production of gold during
the last year.
II is expected that the report this fall will show
continued increase in the worlds production well
as in the production of silver. This increase will
not be due however, TO the American mines, for 1t
is believed by experts here that the production in
the United States well as in Alaska will show a
decrease.
In 1907 the worlds production amounted $40,
$50 500 This increase Of $4,000 beyond the
preceding year For 1903 there will probably be an
equally large increase The enormous development
in the South African fields will account for the
greater portion Of this increase, due mainly to the
vigorous exploitation OF South African mining prop
critics On the other hand Australia is declining in
the amount of gold output. Mexico is showing
tendency toward increased production, and the
forthcoming figures will show appreciable ad-
vance.
But the part of the world TO which experts are
looking for heavy production in the future Cen
trail America and South America while the Siberian
field is also thought to offer possibilities.
Unless the Nevada fields, which have not yet
made returns, come forward with Unexpectedly
heavy productions, the United States will be shown
10 nave decreased its output In the forthcoming
figures. Alaska is not holding its own while the
California and Colorado gold fields are also decreas-
ing their production. The production for the United
states in 1907, amounting TO 100000 was a de-
crease OF about 100000 from the preceding year
This decrease was the first halt OF any Importance
IN the remarkable growth OF the annual yield of the
United States since 1888 The decrease was due at
that time to the falling off in the yields of Alaska
California, Colorado, Montana and South Dakota
and the Indications are that the year 1903 will prove
somewhat similar.
The declines shown in the various field Of this
country in 1917 were in part made up by an increase
OF about 100000 In Nevada II is not exnectad TINT
these conditions viii be repeated This yeor a.. =
larger decline is looked for in this country the
Nome held IN Alaska. alone showing a decline of
more than $1OOO0OO ~ %

LOWER FOOD EXPORTS

LFrOm The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington Sept 25.-Recent discussions regard
ing the apparent decline in the expectation Of food
stuffs from the United States and the Increasing
share of its fOOdstufs required by its own popula-
ton lend interest a statement lust prepared bv
the Bureau Of Statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor showing the share of the wheat
ana corn crops exported and retained for consump-
ton, respectively, and the quantity of meats and
food animals exported during a term of wears tba
record having been brought down to The end of the
fiscal year 1909.
These figures Of the Bureau of Statistics make II
apparent that the share exported of the wheat and
corn crops of the United States has been material
ly less since 1903 than at any time dur,ng tbo
twenty years Immediately preceding that date In
the twentyyear period from 1888 to9O3 the share of
the wheat crop exported ranged from 10 Der cent
downward. on only two occasions falling below 26
per cent In 1904. however. the share IF the wheat
crop exported was only 10 per cent; In 1e5 nar
cent; In 1906 IA per cent; in 1901 20 per cent and in
ls0S II per cent. these figures showing In each
case the percentage which the exports OF the fiscal

utiized by the bureau Chose OF the Department OF
Agriculture indicate that there Is no material de
