While Boer and Briton are locked In
combat in South Africa they are conformity
waging war on one OF the vanities Of life.
In the latter part OF October the price OF
diamonds was marked up twice In eight
days Consul HILL writes that the
diamond cutting business OF Amsterdam
and Belgium IL almost paralyzed. Some Of
the manufacturers cannot buy at all
because they cannot get stones in parcels
costing less than S25. 900. All cutters find
II difficult to buy at the advanced prices.
Every time the Bocr artillery that girdles
Kimberley is unusually active, up go's the
price OF diamonds a notch. The only way
TO lower the price la to raise the siege.
The situation, according TO Consul HILL,
lie due entirely to unpleasant msgivinRs az
to the immediate future OF the diamond
industry. There is no dcarth Of rough
stones in Europe. All the diamonds which
that conservative corporation known IA the
De Beers Consolidated Mines, Limited.
je 'ided 10 let the world have during the
year en- ling March. 1900 arrived In Europe
last spring. The cutters are willing and
anxious to prepare them for the market.
II is probably no exaGgeration to say that
the market, and particularly the American
brai CHI OF 1t, yearns for the goods. But
holders Of rough stones in London hang on
To their stock with almost relentless grip,
for they don't know exactly when they will
get any more.
II the De Beers Mines, Limited had been
gifted with a little prcscicnce what haicyon
days these wou ID he for the company. For
years they have taken care not to sift from
the blue, dnmantifcruus earth all the gems
their ground is capable OF producing; hut
they have calculated TO a nicely just how
many stones they might sell md keep the
market firm, and that quantity has been
forthcoming and no moro. Every March
they sell all the rough diamonds they in
tend to sell for a year and not another
one gets into the trade till the March fol-
lowing. II they had permitted their black
worimcn and other machinery to produce
little larger output, and had stored few
dozen barrels of stones In London, the
present Indictment period in the history Of
Kimberley might have p"ssed without
making the Christmas OF 1899 less glitter
ing 10y single sparkle.
Brazil cannot be depended upon to miti-
gate the threatened distress in the diamond
market. There was time when that
country produced more diamonds than any
other part OF the world, and Brazil stones
are still highly valued for they are OF the
| finest. But the industry there has been
completely eclipscd by the wonderful mines
Of South Africa, and very few diamonds
! from South America are now cut in the
workshops of Holland and Belgium. 1t
looks "a though We may have to worry
along with our present supply OF diamonds
until the interference with tho industry in
| South Africa CnhSrs.
