The worlds stock Of gold has in
creased about one-half in the last de-
cade and doubled in the last quarter
of a century. The stock of gold money
has meantime grown in even greater
proportions. being practically 10 per
cent more than a decade ago.
This is a standardization OF series
of tables which will appear in the
Statistical Abstract of the United
States, about to be issued by the Blu
rcau of Statistics of the Department
of Commerce and Lator THESE tables

gold now In existence is estimated
by experts. still speaking in round
terms. at II billions dollars value;
while the value Of the gold coin in all
the countries OF the world FOR which
statistics are available now aggre-
gate Z billion dollars.
A careful study of these tables
show a very rapid increase in gold
production in recent years. Prior TO
the year 1900 the worlds gold pro
ductior averaged about 5 million dol
lars a year: from 1900 to 1850 T.
averaged about million donars a
