Washington, Jan. (. An Increase of more than 100 per cent. In the money of the wot id within less than u gen eration will be one of thu most Inter esting exhibits of the annual report of thu director of the mint, which Is now going through the press. Near ly the wholo of this luereaso is in metallic money and much thu larger proportion is In gold. The total stock reported In 1873 was about $l,C0O, 000,000, of which more than half was In paper money not fully covered by metallic rcserics. The situation at thu beginning of 1000 showed n total monetary stock of about $11,000,000, 000, of which only little mora than one-fourth was In uncovered paper money. Director ItobertH Amis that while the tetnl money supply of the world has iicrcased about $7,000,000, 000, the increase in gold money since 1S73 has been about $3,000,000,001), In sllier about $'!,?r0,0G(),00 and in mi coicrcd paper money only about $0.pf), 000,000. A large proportion of the In crease In ('old has taken place within tho short space of M'veii years, while the quantity of sllier money which was at Its maximum of about $ l.'.'.'iO, 1)00,000 til the beginning of IS'.lli, hns since been sonieuhnt reduced by the sale of silver by tlermany and Its retirement in other countries. The conditions of 1M3 showed n total monetary supply of about $10,300,000, 000, which has since been Increased by about $l,llio,i)iio,oo(i. About $'.M(, 000,000 of this Increase hns been In gold money. The great outburst of activity In (he mining of gold which followed the suspension of the coin age of silver In India and the United Stiiles, luiolilug the rapid develop ment of the mines of South Africa unit the Klondike region, with the Increased output of Australia and Cal ifornia, II will be stated, us resulted, therefore, In supplying nearly the entire monetary net its of the world without resort In any material In crease In lite net supply of paper money In circulation.
