New YORK CORRESPONDENT in the


Philadelphia Ledger says: "All rec
ords broken" "a year of unprece-
dented prosperity" will be on active
duty soon,, when the compilation OF
the business record of 1905 is COM
pleted. Some of these stupendous
and gratifying figures are already for
comparison-notably the totalings OF
the value Of gems imported at New
York. When the local custom house
closes its doors on Saturday noon al
most sS7,0O0,OO0 worth of diamonds
and other precious and semi-precious
stones will have been entered in the
wear. Never before in the history OF
the port have the importations been
so large. Last years entries of gems
footed up s26,O92,275, while the val
ues in 1903 aggregated s24,O7S,s56.
This extraordinary importation OF
gems has taken place in the face OF
an advance in the price Of Is per cent,
and Is considered proof that un-
bounded prosperity prevails among all
classes and In all sections of the
United States, as New York is the
center in this country for gems. There
are scarcely any importations at other
ports.
