Last year there was a gain OF
100000 bushels in the final crop
over the June 1 estimate, and in
1919 the fnal figures showed a
sbrinkage Of 2ss. 100000 bushels so
that there may be considerable
change before harvest Is completed.
The decline in condition in winter
wheat from ss.s on May 1 to 77.9
on June 1, which is interpreted to
mean a loss OF 5i,0O0,000 bushels,
shows a decided tendency toward
shrinkage, which is largely offset
by gain OF 100000 bushels in
spring wheat, and a condition

Net Balance of

GAIN OF $4,000, 600
Stock of Gold Suffered Heavy
Losses in 1919 and
Early in 1920.

The Influx Of gold into the United
States continues. The net balance
Of imports in May was $4,000. 900.
raising to about t3zo, ,ooo. 900. the
net gain through importation in the
first fve months Of this year. For
of the metal have exceeded eK-
ports
Owing to adverse trade balances
with the Orient and South America.
the United States lost gold in 1913
and the early months OF 1920. with
the result that our stock OF gold
was reduced to s2.s46. 00o. 900 on
May /. 1920. This represented a re-
duction Of sI7s.O 100000 from the
stock Of the metal held at its pre-
vous maximum three years earlier.
In the subsequent thirteen months,
however, We have increased our
stock OF gold to a record total on
June !. 1921. Of s3.175.Ooo.0Oo.
The recent accumulation of gold
in this country through importa-
tion is to some extent reflection OF
the inadequate provision Of credits
for financing our export trade. In
the interest of this trade. every
reasonable effort should be made to
obviate the necessity for foreign
countries TO dispose largely OF their
gold holdings.
Helps Reserve Banks-
while this inflow Of gold has
helped to improve the. reserve posi-
tion Of the Federal Reserve Banks.
il represents on the whole a with
drawal Of the metal from coun-
tries which need TO strengthen their
currencies. The effect of this upon
exchange rates is not precisely
measurable. but iE is certain that
the movement can not continue at
the present rate without adversely
affecting exchanges. So far as this
country is concerned. there Is prob
ably more cause for apprehension
on this score, in view of the pos
sible further impediments TO our er-
port trade. than for fear Of an in
fation of our currency and prices
in consequence of the accumulaS-
ing gold supply.
