fore when hard pressed the Transvaal-

was promptly overridden by President
Steyn. Nothing in the present situa-

President Steyn is lrss irreconciliable
than previously. Indeed, the known
facts seem to point to greater deter
mination to continue the struggle.

HOW TO JUDGE A DIAMOND.
Common Sense and Good Eyesight the
Only Requisites.

NO" said the dealer, you don't need
to be an expert in order to tell a good
diamond from a poor one. You need
only to have common sense and good
eyes and a magnifying glass. First
you examine the diamonds table. The
table is the surface, and it should be
perfectly flat and perfectly octagonal.
Then examine the circumference, and
if that is round the sem is at least
you may be sure, well cut. Now, for
flaws you look into the diamond, using
the glass here, for the reason that a
flaw imperceptible to the naked eye
will often lower a gems value so or
90 per cent.
"Flaws in diamonds resemble those
little feathery marks in ice that we SO
often see, though scratches on the sur
face are also flaws If none are to be
found you study next the color, re-
membering that the steel blue, because
it is the most brilliant, is the most de
sirabe and costly hue and that the
white comes next. Yellowish or off
color stones are practically worthless,
but a perfect violet or amber or rose
diamond brings fancy price.
Study finally the depth and weight
and if the depth is good you won't be
cheated if you pay $3.50 or $160 carat
for your stone Before the South Arr
can war" concluded the dealer. accord.

to this war and the diamond trust and
to the heavier customs duties, is now

TRADE REPORT.

weekly Review of last weeks trade
ave At a time when consumptiv,
demand surpasses all previous record
IN the nations history, it is unfortu
nate that production should be cur
tailed. Yet that is the present situa
zion. First, the labor controversies,
and a tornado stopped work at many
noints. greatly reducing the output
and many more wage disputes must be
eettled before the end of the month OF
furnace fires will be banked anf
wheels cease to revolve. Losses by
the elements have been severe, the
largest tin plate plant in the worlC
being rendered idle for a month, while
many foundries and shops were de
stroyed. Prices of commodities or
Nav /. as shown by Duns index mum
her. rose to the highest point in recent
years, gaining 6.3 per cent over the
corresponding date last year but this
week there has been a material decline
in some products, notably grain.
Distribution through rail channels
continues very heavy. Railway earn
ings are steadily gaining, full returns
for April exceeding last years by 1915
per cent and 1900 by 35 per cent. Pro-
crastinating consumers who predicted
a collapse in the iron and steel mar
kets. similar to the break that oc-
Cured two years ago have greatly aug
mented the pressure by tardily at
tempting to supply their requirements.
Dispatches to this paper promise a
large wool clip, though the late spring
has delayed shearing. There has been
less selling of wool on the Sleeps
back and ranchmen appear to be in
financial condition to hold their yield
until satisfactory prices are forthcom-
ing.
More encouraging weather reports
have made the outlook brighter for a
normal wheat yield. Exports from all
ports in the United States during the
week amounted to 3,477,379 bushels,
-four included, compared with 5,579,-
057 bushels in the preceding week.
Failures for the week number 219

year, and "a in Canada, against &c last

concerning the steamer Cheribon, which
went on Remedies reef, near Acajut!a, on
the morning of April l.. When the
steamer struck the reef Captain Pitt and
the crew, fearing she would sink. launched
the boats and rowed to the shore. No one
was LETT on board the vessel. Clptai, Pitt
made his way to Aeajutla and notified the
Underwriters of the loss of the vessel.
While he was in Acaiutla an American
citizen named Moysant boarded the vessel
flnding that the cargo of $4,000 sacks Of
coffee which the vessel carried could be
saved he laid claim to the Cheribon, haul
ed down the Chilean flag under which she
was sailing and hoisted the Stars and
Stripes in its place.
The Chilean consul at Acaiutla was ap-
Pealed to and Moysant was forced TO haul
DOWN the American flag. He in turn up
pealed to the United States consul, but
JAILED to find justification for his act. The
vessel was under charter to the Pacific
Steam Navigation company.
