The TWO chief foreign ports from
which diamonds are sent 20 this cean-
tIy are Amsterdam and Antwerp.
From Great Britain considerable
amount OF iewelry Is exported TO the
United States. but much OF IT comes
from England In transit particularly
from Switzerland, country having
few direct trade relations with the
United States. In the fiscal year II
1894, following the depression caused
by the financial disturbances OF thar
year, the exports Of iewelry TO the
United States fell of one-hslf in
amount. Tic expectations Of French
jewelry fell off two-thirds and from
Holland four-ifths, but the losses sus-
tanned In the amount of the exports
have been more than covered this year,
as the Treasury figures show. The
American port which practically gets
all the iawelry. diamonds. and precious
stones sent into the United States is
New York, the importations into other
American ports being Insignificant in
amount, Notwithstanding the fact that
a considerable share Of the countrys
jewelry business is done in New Eng
land, particularly in the city Of Provi-
dence. The explanation Of the matter
is that New York IS the market Of sup
ply for the whole country in jewelry
and precious stones. though New York
has only part Of the trade in diamond
and precious stone setting
The largest country Of export of I'M
cut diamonds to the United States is
