THE PRICE OF THE EMERALD has no fixed

and the fluctuations If its value during the
past three centuries form an interesting chap

years ago the price of small stones OF the first
quality wa one louis the carat; one and a
half carats, five louis; two carats, ten louis;
and beyond this weight 10 rule of value could
be established. In 1900 emeralds were so
plenty as to be worth only quarter as much
as the diamond. The mark IS were glutted
with the frequent importations from Peru,
md thirteen years before the above menlion-
ed period one vessel brought from South
America two hundred and three pounds of
fine emeralds, worth at the present valuation
more than seven millions of dollars. AT ii Q

they were worth no more than twenty-four
francs Tor abouc five dullars) the carat and
for a long time antecede'.t to 1850 they were
valued at only fifteen dollars the carat. Since
this period they have become very rare, and
their valuation has advanced Ell ormously. In
fact, the value of the emerald now exceeds
that OF the diamond, and is rapidly approach
ing the ratio fixed by Benevenuto Cellini in
the middle Of the sixteenth century, which
rated the emerald at four times, AID the ruby
at eight times, the value of the diamond.
