Concerning Our Prosperity.

7. s. Bache & Co. have this to say
concerning the continuation of pros
perity:
whatever the current swing OF
opinion on peace may be. it seems prob
able that our total foreign export trade
is reaching around its high point.
With the continuation of the war the
buying from abroad will keep up. but

Consequently, the rise in prices may

The Worlds Stock of Gold.

The production of gold in the world
from 1892 to 1917 is estimated at s1e.-
500. .000. 900. while the production of gold
in the United States in the same period
was s3.925. 100000. according to a COM
pilation by the foreign trade depart
ment of the National City Bank of New
York city. The aggregate production
is not to be taken as the measure of
the gold now available for use as
money.
The worlds consumption of gold for
industrial purposes alone exceeds s175,-
900 600 a year, to say nothing OF the loss
resulting from abrasion and the amount
boarded, much of which will perha ps
remain undiscovered for years.
AS a result of these circumstances
there is in the world today but little
more than half the production since
1892, or $500, 100000. and large part
of this is now held in the United States,
more than ever before.
