GOLD SUPPLY Is
 BECOMING SMALLER

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. 1T:- All fear of embarrassment from an oyerproduction of gold may be dis missed, according to Director of the Mint George E- Roberts. in the an nual statement of the bureau of the mint, on the gold and silver produe- tion of the world, Mr. Roberts de- |elares that while the production of gold in South Africa probably will increase the increase will be slow, while the production In other parts of the world is standing still CT de- clining.
 The natural expansion in indus !. try, commerce and wealth can be 6e- pended upon to offset the probable slight increase in gold production. The increase for 1910, accord ng to the bureaus figures was only. s45l.- 600. Africa leads the world in pro duction of gold during 1910, with SITS. 100000 worth to it's credit. This was an increase over last year of about s4,0000O0 The United States came second durng 1910 with s96.- 055.200 produced in gold. compared with s99, ,67S, ,400 last year Australia came third with S65.OO2, ,OO0 in gold compared with SHOOT 300 last year. The total gold production of the world in 1910. the bureau says. was si5f.S74 .o0O. compared with s454,422,- goo in 1905.
