THE INCREASE IN THE COLD
OUTPUT."
The output of gold has been increasing for nearly twenty years'now'on a "scåld' never bas fore witnessed in historical times. Practically 'the output of gold'ik dów more than four times, | larger than it was so years ago/"). Therefore it is reasonable to infer that the immense increase in the production of gold has begunɛlo' tell upon the prices of commodities," and that the wonderful trade prosperity: which is being ox perianced all over the world is, to a certain extent, at all events, one of the consequences of the enormously increased production of gold....... If that be so, the phenomenon is not'së- dangerous as at first sig't it seems. If prices were carried up, as they have been carried, upi for example, in the case of copper, diamonds, steel, and on by sheer speculation; there' could be no "oubt at all that the 'movement was tactitious, that it would come to an end after a while, and that there would be a' serious setback.

1.
But if the upward movement is duo in any material degree to the enormously increased production of gold, then speculation does not play anything like to large a part in the mora. ment as one is tempted to believe at the first glance: And, consequently, the movement may continue very much longer than would ordinarily appear probable. Furthermore, I the gold production is having the effects we' are referring to, the very high rates of interest and discount are not so inimical to good trade and even to basincs on the Stock Exchange as is generally supposed. The augmented supply of gold increasing "enormously the reserves of the great banks of the' world: has given a fillip to enterprise in every direction." That increased enterprise has required a larger capital to curry it on...
At the same time, the rina în prices due to the increase in the gold output has also required a larger amount of money to carry on the trade-
the world, and thes while, on the one hand, the gold supply is immensely increased, on the other, the whole trade of the world is increased nn a still greater scale, and therefore the demand for what is called money-what really in capital 10 credit-is on a still greater scale." And, as prices are improving and actively increasing, borrowers are able to pay much more highly for accommodation than they could pay in the times when a restricted supply of gold was con- Special attention given to effectively display stantly threatened to bring about a collapse of

INTERESTING. TO

Among the hordes of rascals who live by swindling collectors, there is a very fair sprink ling of stamp "fakirs." These men not only sophisticate genuine stamps, but turn det for- series by the thousand; and their productions
are so numerous that unless the amateur philatelist is exceptionally shrewd and well-' informed, or deals solely with firms which have a reputation to fose, he is certain to get a lot of more or less bagus specimens in his alburn,
Priating forgeries in so regular an industry that there are imitations on the market" of nearly every stamp of value. Of soma issues, indeed, there are bearly a dozen known forgeries, among which are a few decidedly clever. As a rule, however, the best of such shams are easily detected by an expert, becauso the workmanship is inferior-ibey are usually lithographed, whereas the originals are engrav. ed-and because there are always mlaste differences in design, color, etc.
Another form of dodgery consists in putting on the market, for sale to collectors, stamps which have never been issued for postal pur-

The printer had them thrown on his bands, as the "king" turned out to be one of those self-constituted monarchs' who gull busi- ness'men. So, notwithstanding that they had never been to the country to which they ware accredited, they were postavked in Paris and palmed off on innocent collectory as a genuine issue.
;
From the collector's point of view, there is, of course, an enormous gulf between an original and a reissue, even when, the. Iafter is not marked "reprint," or is nearly indistin guishable from that actually used for postal purposes, as in the case of the Portuguese. stamps. Indeed, high-class dealers, neither: buy nor sell reprints.
But a "fakir" frequently foists a reprint on a collector. If, for instance, it is one lasued. ungummed for the purpose of showing that it is not an original, he will gum it. Or, if it is. gummed, but not like the first issun, he will wash it and give it a fresh' layer. At little arts. of this kind he is an expert, and by them he greatly enhances the market value of his wares.
** Fakirs" can also make a good stamp out of two pieces which are worthless in themselves. Suppose à man gels one which has the corner missing, First of all he cuts ont a scrap which will exactly fit in the vacant place. Then, if there is paper at the back of the damaged. alamp, he brings it away by soaking, cuts & fresh square, guma it, and deftly joins the two pieces on It, so that the whole looks like a sinmp which has come from a letter. If, on drying, the jolo shows, he proceeds to cover it up with a postmark, which he makes with a pen and some special ink, "
When finished the “fake” will pass muster better than might be supposed: Still an expert: can detect it for what it is. He holds it up to the light or bende it, whereupon ite real
