THE H|NOOO'S COLO

Will the hemorrhage of gold
from West to East continue: and
If so, how grave may be the effect
upon an Occident often nervous as
to Il e status of its bank reserves?
Last year India absorbed $1l7,-
100000 in gold. or practically a
fourth of the worlds new supply.
This vast intake compared with
$50, 100000, in 1870. and $780,

annual average Of little over S2U,-

1912 the takinRs from London,
Egypt, etc.. have totaled almost
$4,000. 900 pointed to q least as

natural tendency of increasing
wealth to defect the fondness u
India from gold to silver.
When India barred it's mint
against silver, it was assumed that
the native was so welded to the
white metal that no handicap or
consideration of prices could
weaken his allegiance. The ex-
perience Of the past three years
shows that the assumption took too
much for granted. Gold crept
and then rushed in. 1t is now q
considerable element in domestic
circulation. The Calcutta govern
ment has asked permission to begin

her harvests were good.
The sellers of wheat in India
have lately been accepting gold
for their produce, retaining most
of it. The wealthy and the we'll
to do in India have been putting

rate. If the peasants are now to
emulate that example, may not the

prove at times discoAcertingly
slender? May not Occidental bank
reserves be insidiously exposed to
strain at awkward seasons? On
the other hand, may not the direct
effects of gold augmentation upon
commodity costs in the western
world be impaired by this drain of
the metal into Oriental seclusion?
1t will thus remain an interest
ing question as to how far gold
will displace silver in India affec-
tions. To date, however, silver
has aintained its firm demand, and
it is Indian spectators who have
been most Instrumental lately in
running up the price. Apparently,
to some extent, the Indian gold
demand has been superimposed
up"n that for silver. In this con-
nection the interesting surmise is
advanced in England that the new
China may yet buy much of the
present silver holdings uf India,
just as India bought the silver of
France when the latter took the
new gold of California and
Australia; then India5 may provide
herself with more geld. Or will
the 100000 people Of botr
countries raise sill to a surpris
ing pride and price in rela ton to
gold, India keeping her gold as
luxury?
If that mass Of populaIio even
attains 1.-THE I, f their individual
wealth earning power, an absorp-
tive capacity of the West, il may
be able to effect very seriously

finances. Is India's taking of gold
