The present stock of the United

three, at the present time.
There was never so much gold In the
world as at the present day. The pro-
duction Of gold for the first half century
between 1901 and 1850 averaged only
900 a year For the following
fifty years, with the discovery of gold in
California, the annual production rose to
1924. 1892. 900. The production of all

amounts.
Gold Accumulation.

States was $1.sss,54s.o15. showing an
accumulation to August 2 of over
$12,o0o,000. In the Treasury Of the
United States, held as assets of the

gold; federal reserve banks and agents
hold $6.62e,so2 as security against fed

circulation; the balance of the stock
is held as coin or bullion in the minis
of the United States.
There is $4.00s,561, 429 Of all kinds OF

AT VARIANCE IN BRAZIL.
ON MEXICAN QUESTION
Official View Seemingly Favors Pro-
posed Conference. But the News
papers Are Divided.

RIO JANEIRO. August 6.-The cons
vocation of conference respecting
Mexican affairs has aroused much in
terest here. OHicial circles observe q
purely expectant attitude. Their con-
viction is that the fact in itseif-ths
consulting of other American republics
proves that the United States is
contemplating no solution such as
would impair in the least Mexican SOW
ereignty.
1t is pointed out in authoritative cirI
cles that public opinion in Brazil would
not approve of a curtailment of MeXi-
can rights. nor would the Brazilian
government become a party to il. The
newspapers are following the subject
very closely. A certain opposition -
manifested by some of them. The Jor-
nal do Brazil, using as a text an ut
terance attributed to the Jurisconsuie
Savian, says that Intervention In Mexi-
CO would be crime against its sover-
eighty. 1t adds that to accept this
doctrine is to proclaim the right to
police weak nations.
Deputy Opposes Cooperation.
Deputy Mauricio Lacerda writes in
the Imparcail that Brazil should refuse
its cooperation.
However. as an offset against these
extreme Views the Gasetta de Noticias,
which Is more moderate and reflects
better the opinion of competent circles.
says that the motives prompting tho
happy initiative Of the United States
are as honorable as could be wished.
1t adds:
I'VE can confidently await the solu-
ton which either will be void or wholly
in accordance with these motives. It ID
certain, however. that in no case will
Brazil assent to any infringement,
however slight. Of the integrity of any
American nation. An Interpolation re.
lating to Intervention in Mexico has
been submitted to the chamber OF depu-
ties"
