Pig iron and diamonds are the true
barometers of trade conditions. When
iron is prosperous, with strong de-
mand and high prices, precious stones
are always in the ascendant. Last
year the production of pig iron
reached the enormous total of 25,0O0,-
600 tons, the price rose. and at the
present time iron products cannot be
obtained at deliveries sooner than
four to six months. Last year the
United States imported diamonds to
the value of s34,OOO,OOO, by far the
largest amount in our history. Dia-
monds and pig iron travel up and
down the scale together.
