The Coup I'm steel.

The coup in Steel common yesterday
was ono Of the most successful of the
year and also one Of the most surprising.
On Thursday night everybody had gone
home convinced that the market had
reached Its top and that the only result
Of the overnight news developments
would be q further break, especially In
the steel shares. But those who looked
at the market In that light failed to take
into account the tremendous short inter-
est in steel, which has been increased
rather than decreased In the last few
days by the continued pounding of the
issues by professionals. The manner in
which the coup was executed was even
more startling, perhaps, than the result.
According TO the story most accepted In
brokerage circles the buying at the out
set WAS purposely placed with certain
house which lie always credited with the
buying for the so-called Steel crowd
This gave the initial outburst tone OF
quality which otherwise II would not
have enjoyed, and at the Same time car
ried the Inference that the Steeel crowd
had entered the market again in a sub
stantiai way.

NEW YORK, March 27.-A New York Sun dispatch says Frank A Vanderlip, who went to Europe to determine the advisability of Ameri- can banking interests etxending pr vate credit to encourage the resump tion of business in Europe, decided it would be unwise to make any ad- vances. American fianciers connect. ed with the peace mission says Eur ope is virtually bankrupt. The peo- pie have been told that huge sum would be exacted from Germany, sui ficient to make good the food deficit, and now the politicians dare not in form the public that this is impos sible
 Germany will be compelled to pay all that it is possible to extract from her without causing revolution and anarchy in that country, but this sum will not begin to make good the deficit. If Germany is to pay $30,. 900 100000 or O.OO0,O00 in 25 years it will mean that the entire German public debt amounting to

able period, reduce the total output of the empire, therefore, the con tinuance of working of low-grade mines unable to produce at a profit, is not a matter of great importance to the national interests. Continu- ing, the committee says:
 "We are not prepared to recom- mend any bounty or subsidy for the purpose of stimulating the gold out put of the empire; gold being the standard of value, no more can properly be paid for it than its value in currency"
 The bullion firm of Samuel Mon tagu & Co.,, of London, in statis- tical review, said the entire worlds production of gold in 1918 was $405, 100000, compared with $445,- 0OO,00O in 1917, in round figures decline of $40,000,00. At that time the worlds aggregate stock of gold money was estimated at $9,675, ,000,000. Other authorities have estimated the 1917 world pro- duction at $42,OOO.0OO less than that of 1915.
The Alaska daily empire., 1919-04-04

the valuation was calculated on the basis of $2O.66S per Troy ounce.
 Taking the period of the war as a whole, the empires production or gold exceeded the production during the corresponding period immedRte- ly preceding it.
 For the first time during the war a decline appeared in 1917 of $16,- 689.25O compared with 1916. In 1918 decline of $22,639,966 ap- peared in comparison with 1917, of which $8,S91,0OO was in the Trans vaal, $6,819,000 in Australia. West Africa and Rhodesia together fall back about $3,573,000 and Canada $3,283,O00 and India $72,000. The decline in the Transvaal in 1917 was due to the lack of explosives and in 1918 principally to labor shortage. Decline in Australia for both years was due to natural causes, but accelerated by increase in costs and decrease in efficiency of labor, caused by the war.
 Treatment of low-grade ores in the Transvaal has not been reduced by the war That, from the point of view of gold production alone, the abandonment of the treatment of low-grade ore in favor of the higher will not, within any measur-

Lack of Explosives and La
 Dor and High Cost of Ma teriaIs all Entered Into Lowered Production.

NEW YORK, April 4.-The gold production in British districts has materially decreased the last two wears. This has attracted serious attention because of the need Of larger reserves to support the great Imitation of currency created by war Financing.
 In view of the need of maintain ing the gold output, the British treasury sought expert opinion on the question of production, and ap- pointed a committee to report and investigate. This committee has re- ported the value of the gold output of the empire as follows:
