WELDING RUBIEs TOGETHER
A Clever Fraud in Gems That Proved to Be
Very Profitable.

a Clever FRAUD In Gems That Proved to Be
Very Profitable.
The manufactured diamonds are NOT
likely to take the place of the natural arti-
Gle, at least for long time to come, but a
recently discovered fraud shows that manu-
factured rubies may be palmed off on an un-
suspecting public with hardly any fear of
detection, says A. B. Steinberg in the St.
Louis Globe Democrat. Some Eastern Jew
elers were lately in receipt of package of
rubies which came from France. They
showed very slight, almost inappreciable,
differences from the rubies of commerce;
but asjewelers are accustomed to notice lit
tie things, these trifing differences excited
a good deal of attention.
Careful microscopic examination BY ex.
perts disclosed the fact that somebody had
discovered the art of welding q number of
small rubies together in such q way as to
produce an almost faultess gem. The
gains in this roguish business ought to be
considerable, fer, while five carets' weight
of little rubles would not be worth more
than dollar or two, a ive-caret ruby is
worth almost as much as diamond Of the
same size. The French police are now
looking for the enterprising inventor, and,
if they find him, his ingenuity will cost him
few years in prison.

The better outlook for business az reported
by careful observers whose vocation is to note
the ebb and dow OF trade is strongly reelected
In the stock market where increased activity
and better prices are the rule.
This is distinctively true Of the local market.
Nearly all the changes during the week were
advances, and the finish for almost everything
was at top prices. All the fractions were
higher. Citizens, making a gain Of q share.
The miners solidified. Bank stocks improved.
Electric added over point to its credit. The
natural gassers swung upward-in fact every
thing worth trading In was strong and buoyant
Yesterdays market was no exception to the
rule. During the hour while the call lasted
sales aggregating 290 shares were made, and in
most cases the best prices of the week were
still higher. Several small lots of Electric
were picked up at 153f. G. L. McCutcheon sold
70 shares of Philadelphia Gas at 1874 and
another broker reported transaction at 1875
There was bid of 651< for Citizens' Traction.
Mr.. Westinghouse arrived In the city from
the East yesterday. presumably to attend the

pany tomorrow, He refused to say anything
further than that his negotiations had been
satisfactory. This seems to be the general
opinion, although so far nothing in the way of

an Active Stock-Large Trading
In Silver-Specie Exports.

NEW YORK, May 2-The stock market was
quiet to-day. but there was firm tone through
out, which advanced prices slowly, but steadily,
without material changes in prices at the close.
The street Is again In waiting attitude The
situation in the bituminous coal districts had
some effect to create . feverish market, but ii
seems to be recognised now that the strikes
will not last long, from the fact that the leaders
do not promptly make known the outcome of
their conferences with the coal operators.
There was no life in the market at any time,
and while there was considerable animation at
yer certificates, the general list presented no
feature whatever. SC. Paul was the only really
active stock, and 1t succeeded in scoring a
larger gain than the others, but the movement
Silver furnished the only feature OF the trad
ing. Rumors were prevalent that large
amount ofsilver was to be shipped. and that
amount in connection with its Argentine COM
plications. The stock of silver has again begun
to increase, and there was evident manipula.

night.
The bank statement was more favorable than
expected, though the heavy shipments Of gold
to-day counts for little or nothing in it. The
former shipments, however, were balanced by
receipts from the interior. and small increase
IN the surplus reserve was shown. M The mar
and slight concessions were made in the final
dealings, but the close was firm. though dull
at or near the best prices. The final changes
are in all cases for small fractions only, with q
large majority of advances.
Railroad bonds were also qniet and without
feature of any kind, and while s57l, 600 were
traded in no perceptible tendedcy in either di.
rection could be noticed
Exports Of specie from the port Of New York
last week amounted to S465S, $40 of which g.
