Our Gold and Silver Output.

The United States is now beyond the
question of doubt the second largest
gold producer in the world and the
largest producer Of silver. A decade
ago this country held third rank in
gold production, being exceeded in 1904
by both Australia and South Africa
The Australian product has fallen, how
ever, from SsS,000,000 in 1904 to S49,-
100000 in 1914, while our own produc-
ton has grown from SS0,000,000 in 1904
10 S95,000,00O in 1914 and Sl0l 100000
in 1915, the latter establishing a new
record, according TO figures compiled by
the foreign trade department Of the
National City Bank from statistics
issued by the government Mint Bureau
and Geological Survey. The exact fig
ures for last year, S10i ,035,700, COM
pared with 99,673 400 in 1909, the for
mer high mark. The silver production
Of the United States in 1914 was
slightly more than S40,000,000 in value,
against $4,000 900 in Mexico. and again
in 1915 exceed the Mexican output. The
only section of the world which has
outgrown the United States in gold
production in recent years is Africa,
whose product rose from $4,000, 900 in
1904 10 S20l 100000 in 1914, with 1915
slightly exceeding that figure. Since
the discovery of gold in California in
1s49 the United States has yielded 49,
50O.000,000 of the yellow metal.

COTTON RALLIES
FROM EARLY DROP
Weather Report Proves More
Favorable than Expected
Net Gains 8 to 10 Points.

While still nervous and moro or less
irregular, the cotton market showed =
generally steadier tone yesterday, and
carly declines we're followed by rallies,
with the close steady at net advance
Of to 10 points. October contracts
sold up from 1911 to 1922, and closed
at 1919.
The opening was irregular, first
prices being 2 points higher to l point
lower, with October responding par
TALLY to relatively firm cables, while
later months felt the influence Of re-
newed liquidation. Private cables said
that Liverpool had been affect b.
reports OF further rains in Easter nd
Central sections Of the belt, bu. 30 Sos
with English connections wee mroer-
ate sellers here, the forecas were
for clearing weather and active
months soon sold some to ; points
net lower under a renewal OF llcuida-
ton. Prices steadied a little later IN
the morning, on covering IN expecta-
ton of a bullish weekly weather re
port at midday, and there was some
trade buying on the rally, which carried
prices about TO II points net higher.
The weekly report proved rather more
favorable than had been expected by
some Of the early buyers, and later
fluctuations were more or less lrregu-
lar. but offerings were light and the
close was within or 3 points from the
best on most positions.
The weekly report OF the weather
Bureau said that the crop had made
good progress in most sections, as a
result Of the higher temperatures, but
mentioned several drawbacks, such as
grassy fields and increasingly numer-
GUS weevil in the infested sections.
These features of the report, combined
with bullish private crop advices,
served TO check the selling during the
dav. the more so as there was no sign
of hedge selling around the local ring,
and as recent heavy liquidation is sup
posed to have left the market in
better technical position. No further
notices were issued against July con
tracts. and trading in that delivery
showed a sharp falling off, while the
prices were relatively steady. closing
within Il points Of October, compared
with 20 points at the close OF MONDAY.
Southern spot markets. as officially
reported, we're unchanged. 10 s points
lower; generally unchanged, with a
fair business reported at Galveston
and New Orleans. Exports for the day
were 25,036 bales, making 5'464,5e2 so
far this season.

STEEL TRADE EXPECTS
HONE WAR ORDERS
u. S. Needs May Cut Down the
Munition Shipments.

The steel trade looks for govern
ment purchases here which will not
only take over some goods being manu-
featured for foreign powers, but will
also result in considerable new bust
ness. European inquiries for shell
making material indicate that arrange
ments are being made abroad to pre-
pare against possible reduction IN our
munition shipments.
"The Iron Age" will say tomorrow:
BECAUSE of the probability of early
government buying of steel products
and munitions the steel trade believes
the outcome Of the Mexican crisis viii
be more likely TO help than TO hurt the
market. There is already some figuring
in the trade on possible needs OF rail-
road material for Northern Mexico.
THE week has brought more evil
dence of the extent TO which new ex-
port business is sustaining prices IN
the home market in the face Of fur.
Their decrease in domestic demand ana
the continued tendency OF prices for
early deliveries 10 approach those on
contracts running months ahead
The Iron Trade Review" Will say;
preparation by the United States gov
eminent for eventualities along tne
Mexican border has been bringing to
the steel mills a miscellaneous demand
for various grades Of products which
are directly or indirectly related TO
army and navy requirements. Manu-
facturers are placing their facilities
AT the disposal Of the government. and
/ the needs of the latter are given piece
dence over all other business, lnclud-
~ t. III
"Pig iron buying for export is contin-
uing on an unusual scale, especially in
steelmaking grades. rejecting that the
/ European countries are unable 10 pro-
duce their full requirements. tn do

sions"

the risks involved in so doing and the
losses resulting to the railroads are
much smaller than in any other line.
To support this statement a statisti-
