SLUMP IN OUTPUT
OF GOLD RECORDED
Crest of Wave Apparently
Is Passed and Flood Is
Receding.

The worlds flood Of gold has passed
it's crest and the output is falling Off.
Indications favor continuing reduction
at least till new fields are found, and
Of these probability is small.
Figures covering the worlds gold
product for 1910 were given out stoday
by Director Roberts. of the mint, the
worlds leading authority on the sub
ject. For the first time since 1899, there
Is a loss.
The preliminary figures show $751;

s454, 1900 in 1903. s441. .9s2, 900 in 1900.

5000 s92, 900 in 1901, S25I. 476.o00 in 1900.
The fact of a small reduction in 1910
would not In itself be highly significant
were II dissociated from conditions
which suggest strongly that the top of
the wave has passed. The wonderful
increase in production which brought 1t
steadily from $S5,G00,0OO in 1883 to the
s454, 100000 of 1909 was partly the result
of opening new fields. partly Of develop
ing cheaper reduction PROCESSES.
Top Seems Reached.
All indications are that in both these
directions the top point has been
reached The falling of is likely to
be slow; but there is small doubt that
Australia will lose rapidly, the United
States slowly, and that Africa will for
a long time make no gains because of
the labor difficulties there.
Tremendous economic significance
may attach to the stop in COLDS growth.
For several years economists have been
convinced that the flood of gold was
the largest one cause of the world
wide enhancement OF prices, the grow
ing cost of living, and the difficult re-
adjustment OF business to the increas-
ing price scale.
Serious proposal of readjusting money
standards has been put forth. based on
expectation that the gold output would
go on increasing till it would be as inn
possible money standard as copper
or red clay.
The economists can stop worrying.
Gold isn't going to engulf our economic
system and starve the world by making
II too rich.
Gain in Africa.
For 1910 the United States produced
500. .055,00O. against $99, 9,673,OO0 in 1909
Africa produced s171, ,697. 900. against $I7O,-
9SS, 200 in 1909. This is a slight gain, but
much smaller than the gains of other
years since the Boer war, and indicates
a decided backward tendency
Australia falls off every year; In 1910
II gave S65,602, 600, against S7I, ,007, 900 in

California, in 1910, resumed first place
among our States. with $21. .146.0GO. while
Colorado dropped TO second, with only
$50. 418. 900. This is the first time since
1897 that California has led. Develop
ment of dredge mining explains il. Ne

STRENGTH FOLLOWS GREAT DULL
NESS, WITH FAIR GAINS MADE
ON THE LEADERS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The old year
has been gathered; the long expected
and greatly desired New Year Is here,
but the atmosphere of the Stock EX-
change and vicinity is Just as blue, just
as impenetratable. The track ahead is
blockaded-and there are no chances for
the hindrances to headway being re-
moved for some time to come-until the
trust cases are removed. 1t Is admitted
that the rate cases are of secondary I'M
portance, perhaps that they were insti-
tuted as a counter irritant to head of
efforts toward reduction of rates. But
the settlement of the status of the Sher-
man antitrust law is one of the most
important cases that have been present.
ed TO the highest court, in so far as the
business world is concerned, for many a
day-and the trust cases are rehearings.
For the first time since the death OF
Justice Brewer the bench seats a full
court, and 1t is to be hoped that these
great cases, hindrances to business ag-
gression and prosperity, may be speed
lily passed upon. No one believes that
the Capitalization of capital way of do
ing business is going to be knocked into
a cooked hat all at once. and the hope
is that the court, if 1t sustains the Sher-
man act, will point out a way in which
corporations can walk with the law-to
the settlement of business and the en-
hSncement of operations in security
circles.
Despite the fact that checks are go
ing out for millions today in payment
of interest and dividends there is no
sign of any of it coming back for re-
Observation-Disclosures it may come later
on.
Commission houses were not favored
with many orders, spectators did little
or nothing, customers rooms around the
big houses on the Street, and for that
matter all over the country, were more
or less neglected, and the few present
did not care to do more that discuss
conditions and watch the board.

It was hard to get an expression of
opinion from the big men of the Street.
Traders had control, no one appeared at
all anxious to take chances for more
than small turn. As matter of fact,
the only changes worthy of note were
confined to three or four stocks at the
most.
Union Pacific was one of these. 'It
looks good" was the word sent out
from some of the conservative houses
compared with the rest of the list, for

vanced q. Reading made a ss gain, and
Delaware and Hudson dropped back Ia
points. These were the only talking
points in the whole list. Fluctuations
transactions were and the absence of IN
fiuences positive enough in character to
work for activity was made more no
ticeable by the dullness. Here and
there an eighth advance or decline was
reported, but nothing more-this dur
ing the morning hours and well through
the noon hour.
The action of the Iowa railroad COM
mission in declaring express rates ex-
cessive and unconscionable, and making
reductions Of to 20 per cent. ought to
give the express a mild jar, the more
so IL the Iowa habit extends. as 1t prob
ably will.

Changing Air Pressure
Causes Earth Tremors

Changes OF pressure over the great
areas of high and low barometer that
persist for long periods over much of
the earth's surfNce are regarded by DIR.
Otto Klotz as cause of earth vibra-
tions. or microseisms.
The creation or alteration of these
areas shifts a vast load, and may set
up vibrations in blocks of the earth S
crust covering tens of thousands of
square miles.
Differences of temperature or the tram
sient differences due to the passage of
storm or fair weather areas would have
little influence.
The nature OF the vibrations produced
Is possibly dependent on or modified by
marked geological conSguration, and
when once set up the vibrations may
continue long after the cause has dis
appeared.

New Treatment Prevents
Decaying of Stone

The crumbling Of building stones is
another form of decay that we are to at
tribute to the action Of microscopic or
ganisms. At a recent museum confer
ence at York. England. DR.. T. Anderson
showed that stone decay is not due to
wind action, and expressed the belief
that II is not surface action at all, but
a kind of rot produced by some low
form of life like the molds and fungi
that rot wood, canvas, and other veg
etable materials.
Treatment based on abrasion or chem
1caI theoTies having failed, he sought a
germicides.
The result has been as anticipated and
In the two years since the experiments
began the stonesSthat have best resisted
decay have been those that have been
treated with sulphate of copper. bichlor-
ide of mercury, and creosote. For test
of this kind. however. the time is too
short to justify any definite conclusion.
