GOLD OPERATIONS
OF WORLD EXPAND
Output Is Trending Toward
New High Record, Re-
ports Indicate.

Reports of expanding gold mining
operations at leading sources of world
production are coming into Govern
ment offices. World output is trend
ing upward for the sixth consecutive
year toward new high records, with
indications of an acceleration of the
rate of gain as confidence in the
maintenance of q high price for the
metal improves.
Production Up.
Production for the first seven
months of this year was estimated at
about 1920, 900 ounces valued at more
than $4,000, 900 compared with 49,
100000 worth about $528,0o0,0o0 in
the comparable 1884 period, at the
present value of the dollar.
Mining statisticians say aggregate
1885 output for the first time should
top 100000 ounces with a value
we'll in excess of billion dollars.
Despite the reluctance of capital to
the world settles its foreign exchange
uncertainties, operations are said to
be on the increase in South Africa,
Canada, Russia, the United States,
Australia and the Philippines.
Stimulated by Decision.
Some mining experts say interest in
gold development was stimulated by
the Supreme Court decision uphold
ing the Governments power to reduce
the gold content of the dollar. which
meant raising the domestic price Of
the metal.
They declare, however, that the
managed currency idea remains an
obstacle to a large flow of capital into
gold mining since it holds out the
threat of a reduction in the price in
the event money managers decided to
reverse their tactics.
Meanwhile, the present price ap-
pears to have acted as strong lure
for mines already In operation to ex-
pand their output and to undertake
some extension of their facilities.

down to somewhere near consumptive
needs.
After all there is no more effective
production control than that welded
by price, and it works either way.
Producers are liable to be nicked
about $780, 900 day, even If produc-
ton is throttled down to consumptive
requirements of about $4,000 bar
rels of California crude per day,
Price cuts in California crude have
been threatened for some time, mainly
because production has been running
at more than 100000 barrels a day. or
80 900 barrels day in excess of needs.
But the present cut is the first real
slash to be made In nearly two years.

NEW F. \. A. LOANS
ALLOW BUYING FOR
MANY HOME NEEDS
Additional Market for Fur.
niShings and Electrical
Appliances Opened.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, August 31.-A great
new market for the sale of home
furnishings and electrical appliances
was viewed by retailers as officially
opened this week with the publica-
tion by the Federal Housing Ad-
the types of merchandise WHICH may
now be purchased by the public
through F. H. A. loans.
Whereas the grant of F. H. A.
loans under $4,000 formerly per-
mitted the purchase only of such
home equipment as heating systems,
wiring, plumbing and refrigerators,
under the new rules officially an
nounced by the F. H. A. this week
consumers may now secure long-term
loans for the purchase Of such other
items as cooking ranges. washing
machines, ironing machines. linoleum
and permanently fixed floor coverings
other than carpets, rugs and mating,
fitted window screens and permanent
lighting fixtures.
Sol Cohn, chairman of the Housing
Committee of the National Retail
Dry Goods Association and execu-
tive vice president City Stores
Corp, in statement yesterday
pointed out that the extended form
of modernization credit now offered
by the F. H. A. made it a matter OF
Importance for the retail trade to
study the provisions of the law and
arrive at an appreciation of the sales
possibilities opened up through the
credit facilities now offered by the
Government.
He predicted that the extension of
loans to many of the items now on
sale in retail stores throus hout the
country would make it possible for
thousands of consumers to embellish
their homes with equipment and ac-
cessories which up to this time they
have not found the means to buy.
The National Retail Dry Goods AS
sociation reported that many depart
ment and speciality stores throughout
the country have already offered the
benefits of F. H. A. loans to their
customers, and that with this extern
sion of credit to more items of mer-
chandise, the interest of merchants
in this method of merchandising
would be considerably increased.
The N. r. D. G. A., through its
division, is informing
its members of the sales potentiai-
ties Of these new developments, so
that stores will be prepared to supply
the anticipated large consumer de-
mand for such merchandise as is now
to be included under the expanded
F. H. A. financing program.

Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
The downward trend in cotton
prices which has progressed since the
Governments loan announcement
may continue for a short time yet, in
the belief of many traders.
This recession seems to be regarded
as a general settling Of the market
to the level created by the 10 cents
per pound plus guarantee policy die
tated by Congress.
However, marked improvement in
cotton goods demand is creating a
firm undertone which might hold
prices up sufficiently to cause a more
normal market movement this Fall
than has been the case for the last
two years.
Prices of the 10 leading spot mar
kets touched a new low for the
1856 season. the average Friday
being 1888 cents per pound for mid
ding Is Inch cotton.
This was a net decline for the
week of 80 points and was l53 points
lower than August /, and compared
with 1903 cents August 80, 1884.
Weather Reports Studied.
Attention of the market during the
week was again swinging to weather
reports following news of army worm
damage in Texas and Oklahoma and
apparent deterioration in other sec
tions. Official Government reports
declared, however, that except for dry
weather in the Central States condi-
tions as a whole were mostly favor
able.
Sales on the 10 designated spot
markets for the week were $4,000
bales, about so per cent above the
small sales of last week but still sub
stantially below 125,o00 bales sold
during the corresponding week of last
year.
A sharp increase in sales was re-
ported by the Governments market
news service to be due to the adop-
tion of the new Government lending
policy. Domestic mill centers re-
ported more inquiries for both prompt
and forward shipments.
Cloth Sales Heavy.
A substantial increase in the vol
ume of unfinished cotton cloth sales
in New York wholesale markets was
a feature of the weeks news. Sales
of print cloth were unusually large,
with prices firm. Sales of heavy in
duStrial fabrics have shown a sub
stantial increase. The latter index
is believed to have resulted from i'm
provement in industrial activity as
well as low stocks in the hands of
distributors and consumers.
Retail and wholesale distribution
of finished cotton goods was we'll
maintained at relatively high levels.
Inquiries for American cotton were
more numerous than during the pre-
vious week with japanese buyers ap-
pearing more interested. Inquiries
for freight space for shipment to
Japan predominated with some book
ings made for the Fall months.
Exports to all countries during the
week totaled nearly $1,000 bales. an
increase of about rs per cent over last
week but still below the. $4,000 bales
shipped abroad during the corre-
spending week a year ago.
