Vice President John E. Gardin of the
National City bank is generally accepted
as an expert on matters of foreign ex-
change. He says:
up to the close of 1909 we had export
ed s190. 200, 600 In gold. So far In the year
1910 we have exported 100000 We would
have been on the gold export basis to
quite a considerable extent since then
had 1t not been for the fact that, owing
to the plethora OF money abroad well
as here, various corporations deemed the
time opportune to issue new securities,
and these all being more or less of high
grade character, giving fair return of
il terest, European capital was attracted
thereby and ACQUIRED quite an important
amount estimated variously at from
sl50, 900, 900 to $3.50. COO.
"rhe budget difficulties in England,
however, are having their effect by en-
HANGING the value of money abroad. Con-
sequently the taking over OF securities
on the part of Europe may possibly be
brought to a halt, and the result will be
that we may expect gold exports between
now and the end of the fiscal year. How
ever signs are not lacking that perhaps
this may be counteracted by the export
of merchandise, notably cotton. The
price of cotton, OF course. now Is rather
high as we'll as other exportable COM
modties, and this has so far been
deterrent toward normal consumption
on the part of Europe, but with the new
crop coming In no doubt a market will
be made for the stocks now on hand.
which are reported to run into quite
important figures.
1.-The output of gold by the mines of the
world for the calander year 1903 Is esti-
mated to have been approximately $780,,
600, 0G0, or an increase of abut $4,000, 900
over that of the product for 1908. Africa
leads In the worlds production of gold
for 1909 by an output of about $40. COO, 900
an increase over that for the calendar
year 1908 of s4,1SO000. The United States
occupies the second place with a product
of 500, 10000, an increase over that of
1908 of $46700O0
Repeated efforts have been made from
time to time to show the disposition of
the worlds product of gold, but it is
very hard to arrive at any accurate
figures. 1t is estimated that of each
years product of gold from A to 30 per
cent is converted into currency. while the
balance is used in the arts and exports
to the East There is no doubt that
Increased production of gold has ten
dency to increase the price of commodi-
ties more or less. This is shown by
comparison of the prices prevailing dur
ing the periods when the production of
gold was increasing with those of the
periods when the production was dimin-
ishing. The demand for gold by the diff
ferent countries Of the world appears
to be Unsuitable. and II is absorbed as
