ment:
The United STAGES have for seveval years alb
sorbed, and do still absorb all the diamonds of
first rate quality that come to the European
market; and as the demand is far from ex-
hausted, this will account for the price OF fine
diamonds having so much increased of late
years; but IS America, in common with most
European nat ons, now only purchases the first
quality, the value of second and lL,rd quality
stones and of large stones having sny Imper-
iections or defects has fallen considerably.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN BANKRUPTCY
A decision has been given by Lowell, J in the
District Court OF the United States, in Bos-
ton, of importance to the community and the
legal profession, in the case Of Edgar G.. Blan-
din, bankrupt. Louisa B. N. Blandin, the
wife Of Edgar G.. Blandin, petitioned the
Court of Bankruptcy for the allo aDce of a
claim against his estate in bankruptcy, for
money and other property loaned to
him by her, with the promise, made by him
at the time OF the loan, that he would repay
her. The property consisted of stock and
money in savings banks to the amount of
$1,000, which the wife received as a distribu-
tive share from her mothers's estate. The
husband took the money and bought gro
Gerry stock In Taunton, and sfter carrying on
the business about year, failed, and has new
er paid the wife anything. This was all the
property the wife had, and 1t was all the funds
the husband had with which to start in b ISL
ness: Lowell, j.. has given an elaborate
opinion, sustaining the wife's claim.
