Court Refuses to

I think this case should be tried this morning." After GarlickN got through talking, Judge Frank Wilder had a decidedly different opinion from that of Sha- piro. He refused to allow the case to go to trial and continued it until next Friday when he insisted each side should be prepared.
 Garlick and Shapiro then argued on the lowering of Halliday's bond. Gar lick insisted the bond should be placed at the same figure, $s,000. Shapiro contended it was manifestly unfair to his client to allow Romero. arrested on the same charge as Halliday. his liberty on a bond of $500 while Halli- day was forced to furnish $3.O00.
 He referred to what he termed newspaper" charges against Ha1li- day, and drew attention to the fact that Halliday was watched by the po- lice previous to the fight which re- suited in Romero shooting him at his home at 105 Garfield street.

F,iremen Check Flames

The superintendent of the plant or deerd the fire company which is main tained for~just such emergencies into action, but there was little for them to do except to prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings.
 9 Just what the damage was could not be learned exactly last night, but officials of the plant said that 400, ,000 pounds of powder had exploded. They immediately checked up to find if any men. were missing, and were able to establish that not more than two had been killed. Twelve others were cut by flying timbers, which went hurtling through the air like blazing rockets, and pieces of corrugated iron and con- crete, of which the buildings are mostly constructed.

United States Still
 Second in Producing
 Gold, Despite Decrease

The slight reduction in gold, pro- duction by the United States in the year 1916, when compared with it's high record of 1915, will not change che country's rank as the worlds sec ond largest producer of gold.
 A compilation by the Foreign Trade Department of the Nationsd City Bank of New York shows that the United States. even at the unusually low figure of 392,000,0Oo now estimated for it's 1916 output, still outranks by far ahy other country of the world ex- cept the Transvaal mining region of South Africa. and that we still sup ply, our normal 20 per cent. of the gold output of the world. Our pro- duction,, in the decade ending with 1916 was in round terms $9b0.0OO,000, or an average of $95,000,000 year, while the output of the world in that period was about $3,42O, 100000. Thus our own gold production in the de- cade ending with 1916 has been slight ly more than 20 per cent. of the worlds tots%for that period. There have been only half-dozen occasions in our history in which the gold output of the country exceeded the estimate now named for 1916, the highest rec ord in. any year having been that Of 1915, $101, ,0OsO,0 ,000.
 Going still further back, the com pilation shows that the United States has supplied nearly one-fourth of the worlds output since the discovery of America. The Worlds production of gold from 1892 to the end of 1916 is estimated at approximately $16,6oo,- 00O, 900, while in the same period the production from mines in the United States was $3.925, 100000 .or about l2s per cent. of the worlds production in that period, 1492 to 1917.
 The $16.60O,0o ,000 worth of gold produced since 1492 is not, however, to be taken as measure of the quantity of gold now available for currency purposes. The worlds consumption of gold for industrial purposes alone now exceeds $175,ooo,ooo a year, to. say nothing of the loss by abrasion, and the amount which disappears by the "hoarding" process. As result the latest compilation of the worlds stock of gold money is but about $S,- 500, GOO or but little more than one- half of the actual value of the gold known to have been produced in the world since 1892.
