Important Conference i'm New York.

1t was announced at New York yester-
day that a conference of presidents of the
principal lines out of Chicago, who are
members of the Central Traffic Association
will take place in that city to-day to con-
slider the grain rate situation. "There have
been a great many contradictory state
ments made about this meeting" said a
well known railroad man yesterday, land
1t has been surrounded with so much Sc
crecy that 1t is to be hoped the results
will be as important as the preparations
have been guarded. The grain rate situa-
ton is in the worst possible condition. /
heard Monday that large contracts for
grain from Chicago to New York were
made at 10 and IL cents"
M. E. ingalls,, president of the Big Four
line, who will be present at the meeting,
said ii was ridiculous that such a condi-
ton should exist when all the roads are
getting more business than they could han
Ole. In speaking of his own road, Mr.. In
gals said IL was a solid Vanderbilt line,
and that all rumors of its seeking other
connections were untrue. This statement
disposes of the report that a union would
be effected between the Big Four, the Mo-
non and the Norfolk a. Western. The
meeting of the Western presidents will not
take place until March z.

TRADE HINTS FROM our
coNSULS ABROAD.

THE LAPIDARY INDUSTRY OF BIR
KENFELD. - Walter Schumann,
United States Consul at Mainz,
writes: The cutting and polishing
of precious and half-preci us
stooes forms the chief industry oi
the little principality OF BIrkenteld,
up among the hills Of the Nahe
river, and gives employment to
over 1000 persons.
Although an improved factory
system is gradually supersedlng
the laborious methods OF former
times, there are nevertheless plenty
Of the old POLISHING and cutting
works, which bear evidence to the
lives sacrificed to this industry.
In the early days Of the trade,
agate quarries existed in the near
by hills, and this half precious
stone was cut and polished by a
very laborious method, which is
still practiced, although the agate
quarries have long been exhausted
and the raw material now comes
from Brazil.
The usual method employed in
cutting and polishing these stones
is the following:
In a rude hut by a stream, which
furnishes the power, tour large
grindstones about 4 feet in diam
eter are so fixed that their axes are
only about I foot above the floor,
into which a slit is cut, so that part
OF the grindstone is below its level
This lower portion passes through
he water, thus keeping the stones
constantly wet.
The operator has a bench or
block OF wood about IS inches
high, followed out to receive his
chest and body. On this bench
he lies at full length, and with his
fingers holds the small piece OF
opal, amethyst or other stone
which is to be cut, against the
grindstone, slightly above the level
Of the floor. In this position the
men lie from m orning to night, day
after day. Consumption usually
carries them of at an early age,
but other men are found to follow
this vocation, as the earnings are
comparatively high. The oper-
ator usually owns his grindstone,
or at least half OF one. This rep
resents an investment Of about
$500, and a skilful lapidarY can
earn from SIS to S2s per week.
He does not usually cut and polish
stones on his own account, but
generally contracts with manulac-
turing jewellers, who furnish him
the stones in the rough, to cut and
polish at so much per gram AS
the stones, even in the rough, rep
resent quite an outlay OF money,
the honesty Of the workman must
be greatly relied upon, for nobody
can say in advance how many
grams oi finished stones a certain
piece Of opal, amethyst. or the like
may yield.
Besides these halt precious
stones, precious stones such as
diamonds, ETC., are also cut aud
polished there; but this is an en-
tirelY different branch of the indus
try, and IS chiefly carried on in
factories with modern machinery.
Another branch Of the industry
in these parts is the cutting OF
canoes.
Pearls are also polished, drilled,
and cut and shipped in large guam
titles TO all countries, including the
United States, invoices covering
single shipments Of the value OF
500, 900 having been certified to at
this consulate.
1t is strange that this industry
still fourishes in the little villages
Of this principalitY-removedfro from
railroad communication and far
away from the sources Of supply OF
the raw material.
