Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
The Commerce Department said
today that gold imports set a new
! 12-month record of $4,749, ,467 900 in
! 1910.
Gold shipments, swelled by large
British Empire transfers for pur-
chase of war materials, we're about
$1,000, 100000 larger in 1910 than in
1899, the previous high.
After reaching monthly peak of
S5l9 e83 900 in July, however. gold
imports tapered off to a l5-month
low of sl37 1896 in December.
Although most of the gold that
was shipped here was Immediately
sold to the United States Treasury,
some of it was deposited for foreign
governments in central bank ac-
counts in the Federal Reserve banks.
Such "earmark" deposits increased
from S1.163 100000 to s1,807, ,673 900
during the year. December con-
tributed s7,416,551 of this gain.
The annual figures for individual
countries were not made available,
but Canada was given as the source
of the bulk of 1910 gold imports,
Gold coming from Canada, however.
included metal from all over the
British Empire and France, before
the French surrender.
In December, principal shipments
were s80.390,063 from Canada,
Sl4,994, ,359 from Australia, s7,445,954
from India, sL3,262,16l from Japan,
So ,247,33 from Argentina, S2.S14390
from Colombia, 81 ,206 ,342 from Peru,
ST 100, $50 from Chile. s3,268, ,482 from
the Philippine Islands and 81 l,635,346
from South Africa.
Last years silver imports dropped
to $50, $4,000, compared with s65,-
100000 in 1889.
December silver imports were
81 4.689,757, including s2389,8 from
Mexico, s714,702 from Peru. s643 ,553
from Japan and s45o,Ool from
Canada.
Exports of gold, which have been
small for several years. amounted to
81 994 900 in 1910, including S2696
in December.
Silver exports totaled S3,673 900 In
1910, including sl22,95S in December.

Reserves Of Rubber
Mounting Steadily,
Service Reports
Danger Of Import
Interference Becomes
Less Serious
II cial Dispatch TO The Star.

Spe cial Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Jan. 13.-Enorts to
build up United States reserve sup
plies of crude rubber as a defense
measure are progressing satisfac-
torily, and prices should hold rela-
lively stable over the near term, says
the United Business Service In a
special report today.
The service points out that the
domestic rubber situation improved
substantially during 1910. and al
though consumers still face the pos
sibility of import interference, they
can look to l941 operations with less
apprehension than six to eight
months ago. Since midyear imports
of crude rubber have averaged bet
ter than 10000 tons monthly. while
consumption has run only slightly
in excess of $4,000 tons a month.
Thus, more than 100000 tons have
been added to available United
States stocks over the past six
months.
In addition, the amount of crude
ruDDeT aHOat IOr tnlS country mas
expanded by third since June. and
is currently $4,000 tons, or three
times the normal movement. AS q
result, total United States visible
stocks are now equal to more than
eight months consuming require
ments.
To assure adequate world supplies
the International Rubber Regulating
Committee has lifted export quotas
to 100 per cent, or approximately
l35 900 tons monthly. This will pro-
vide sufficient amount over the
estimated 10000 tons consumed
monthly throughout the world to
add steadily to both United States
and British crude rubber inventories.

Winter Wheat Crop
Outlook Is Best
In Many Years
Most Sections Receive
Normal Moisture
Or Better
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Prospects for the l941 winter wheat
crop continue to be the brightest ir
many years, Agriculture Department
grain officials said today.
In sharp contrast to year ago
most sections of the wheat belt have
received normal or above normal
amount of precipitation. Abnor-
mally low temperature in much ot
the Midwest during the latter part
of the week apparently did little
harm.
Wheat markets we're generally
steady last week as milling inquiry
continued good for moderate offer
ings, the Agriculture Department
said. Receipts at principal termi-
mails were a little more than 1000 900
bushels. At most markets premiums
for cash grains were well main
tanned.
The department said Eastern mill
erS were in the market for low
protein wheat at Chicago and paid
premiums Of to 5l2 cents over the
May price for No. 2 soft red winter
wheat. The protein of the hard
winter wheat appeared to be slightly
below that Of last season, the de-
partment said. Wheat received at
Kansas City for the first half of
the current crop year averaged 1896
per cent protein. compared with
1858 per cent for the corresponding
period last season.
The department reported that
stocks of wheat on farms on Janu-
ary totaled 1882 900 bushels, or
the largest for that date since 1882
Stocks under Government loan at
the close of the first week of January
totaled 5000, 900 bushels. compared
with l67,00O,0O0 on the correspond
ing date last year.
Prices of feed grains declined
slightly under pressure of increased
offerings and only fair demand
from industrial buyers and feeders
Receipts at principal terminals were
about 3500,000 bushels.
The department said that stocks
of corn on farms continued to be
unusually heavy. Large quantities
of the 1889 and previous corn crops
we're carried over and resealing OF
old corn on Government loans was
extensive.
At Chicago May wheat closed yes
terday at 86s4-ts cents a bushel
compared with Fridays close oi
87s4 IS cents. May corn closed al
62A-as cents, compared with tn.
previous close of SIS.

Gold Production Record
For 1910 Disclosed
By the Associated Press.


Domestic gold production set a
record in 1910 in both quantity and
value. the Treasury reported
Preliminary estimates by the Bu-
reau of the Mint, aided by the Bu-
reau of Mines, placed production at
5.9l4, ,109 ounces valued at S206 ,993. =
300. at S35 an ounce. The previous
high mark was in 1899, with $751;
I'll ounces valued at $l96 391 900.
Silver production in 1910 also
topped all previous years in value
under the administration silver
buying program, although the guam
tity failed to equal that of 1915.
Silver production last year was
71,688150 ounces, valued at s5O,-
977,440. In 1899 it was 65,119,513
ounces, valued at S44,202,279: in 1915
it was 74961 OTIS ounces. valued at
s37 1877 300.

long-1erm Advance
In Wholesale Prices
Declared Started

bs the Associated Press.

5s the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Evidences
Of wholesale price advance move
ment we're cited to the Nations re-
tailers today by A. w. Zellomek,
economist of Fairchild publications
and president of International Sta
tlstical Bureau, Inc.
In a speech prepared for presen-
tation at luncheon of buyers pre-
liminary to the thirtieth annual con-
vention of the National Drygoods
Association, Zellomek said:
For the first time in 10 years
or more we have a sellers market in
many wholesale lines that promises
to continue for some time. Almost
overnight the Government has
flooded the Nations industry with
defense orders large enough to alb
sorb all of the excess capacity that
still exists.
Production in many lines could
be expanded further, it is true; but
1t is already at point where further
expansion would mean employment
of additional skilled labor-which
in many localities is hard to find
or an increase in operating hours
that would mean an increase in
overtime payments or a loss of
efficiency through three-shift opera
tions.
AS a result, most manufacturers
can get along very well now with
a normal civilian demand without
feeling any great necessity to go
out and look for business.
Let me tell you most strongly
that we are already witnessing the
beginning of a moderate but pro-
tracted wholesale price advance that
will last for some time.
Il believe strongly that the re-
taller who regards the present price
advance as just a temporary hump
that can be disregarded is making a
serious mistake, whether it influ-
ences his buying policy or whether
1t influences his pricing policy
