were duh and easier at sharp con-
cessions, but our market opened steady
and showed that supporting orders
were present to prevent any further
decline. The trade detected the pres
ence of this support, and turning on
the bull side, caused a quick reaction
from yesterdays close. Sentiment is
united on the bull side on the reports
OF exhaustion, which are contained in
the mail advices. For the week the
movement will show some $4,000 bales
in excess of last season. Bombay re-
ceipts were $4,000 bales in excess of
last season. A rather lighter move
ment at some of the Atlantic towns
increased the bullish feeling being
taken as a forecast of the anticipated
falling off.

HOW DIAMONDS MAY EXPLODE.
Cases in Which Only Ordinary Degree
of Heat Is Necessary.


1t has long been known that dia-
monds, especially the class known as
rose diamonds" are likely to explode
If subjected only to what would seem
very ordinary degree of heat, such as
strong rays from the sun, etc. 1t is
now believed that the explosions are
the result of the rapid expansion Of
certain volatile liquids inclosed in cavi-
stones. A great many diamonds, even
though cut, mounted and worn as gems
of perfection, are still in an unfinished
condition-that is, the liquid drop from
which the stone is being formed has
not as yet deposited all of it's pure
crystals of carbon" These movable
drops may occasionally be seen with
the naked eye.
When this is the case, a strong mi=
croscope will give the drop the appear
ance of bubble in the fluid of q
carpenters level 1t is also highly
probable that besides the liquid men
toned these cavities may contain
gases under great tension. This being
the case, one may readily comprehend
row very small amount of heat
would cause the liquid and gas to ex-
pand to such degree that the dia-
mond would give way with all the
characteristics of a miniature explo-
sion,
