The chief cause of this startling change is the increased output from Africa, the chiefs and districts that give trouble. Amm 157,600 in 1886 It increased to £11,661,320 in 1897. The most astonishing progress was in the years 1888, 1884 al 1896, the output doubling in the last two years. The most noteworthy point in regard to the output of other countries is the steady decrease that has been going on in China's gold production. In 1886, according in the figures published, which, of course, can only be taken as approsi mate, Chinu produced £2,100,000, while in 1897 hernutput was £441,820. There was a slight in provement in the figures in 1892, 1893 and 1894, Lana sudden drop followed, and matters have since been steathly getting worse. The cause of the decrease is presumably to be put down to the disturbed state of the country. Japan's gold production pcioubted within the last ten years, from 63,447 10 £142,669. Taken alto-
