For every year up to 1892 from 1867 there

few years the diminution OF ms desire

While the diamond trade has been

is no doubt of a perceptible decadence IN
their use, You will still see them at fhe

them in the street cars or on the prone

THE trade in opals has not been as care

Ten persons buy opals nowadays where

the old superstition had something to do
with 1t. but 1t is true that opals are now
the fashion. The opal will sometimes
change in luster. and emanations from the

produce this effect. The variation In the

deter purchasers from buying the stones
The result Of this state Of affairs is that
opals for the last five years have been
rapidly increasing in price. And while the
price of diamonds has not shown any ma
