IZ CABLE TO THE EIBrATCH.T
Loxrxer. Dec. 10. I Copyngld. The
Urutsels Monetary Ccnlerence is prolong
ing its existence simply in the hope that
eomething will develop which will pre
vent the complete failure of its purpose,
but it has succeeded in makinjj the perils
f the existing situation plain to some who
had failed to see theJL The American
delegates have made the crisis a pressing
one by intimatine the intention of the
"United States to abardon its silver purchas
ing policy, and, world-wide consequences
have been prophecied.
Having thus sounded the alarm, the bi
tneUllifts among the delegates are waiting
lor the effect on governments which have
been indifferent. They hope that, in con
sequence of representations made during
the past few days, Austria, Germany and
two or three other countries will authorize
their representatives to take a more con
ciliatory position in the matter, but no
plan commanding the general support, even
ot the bi-U)etallistn amoug the delegates,
ha3 yet been brought torward.
Meanwhile the delegates are being most
royally entertained, the social Junctions in
their honor being among the most brilliant
Brussels has ever seen.
There arc indications that some relief of
the abnormal condition which the Brussels
Monetary Comerence was designed to
remedy is soon to be afforded by a consid
erable increase in the earth's yield ol
gold The annual supply is now calculated
to be 5120,000,000, of which United States
mines contributed about ?34,O00,OO0. Re
ports Irom South Atrica show a remarkable
development ol auriierous resources during
the last few months, until now shipments
are on the basis ot $,000,000 per year.
There has been a steady rise in South
African mining securities in the Iiondon
market in the last few weeks.
Reports of increased production come
Uoin various port of Australasia, while
the Governor ot British Guian sends quite
an el dorado-liEe story. That colony began
producing gold in 1886, and last year mined
Dearly 52,000,000. This year the output
will be much larger.
JL Tirard, ot the French delegation at
the conference, explained the position of
Prance in regard to bi-metallisni. He said
that under present circumstances there is
no chance to substitute bi-mctallism for
monometallism. There is nothing disquiet
ing in the position of Prance, which, with
other Latin countries, could open mints for
the coinage of silver so long as Great
Britain, Germany and Ausiria hold aloof.
Each country had a remedy in its own
bands by increasing the coinage of silver.
