PEARLS iNcREAse in PRICE.
Few New One. In Market-Fl,her,e. o
Cevlon Closad no,v, far m. VS..

Few New Ones In Market-Fisherlss Of
ceylon Closed Down for One Year.
A good deal has been said about
the high prices at . recent sale Of
1ewelry in auction rooms and surprise
has been expressed that one pearl
necklace alone should have sold for
$4,000.
A representative Of the Tribune had
an interview on the subject yesterday
with A. G. Maginnis, joint managing
director Of a goldsmith's and q silver.
smiths company. Mr.. Maginnis said
s6.s00 was by no means an excep-
tfonal sum for pearl necklace. II
have had the identical necklace in my
hand this morning." he continued,
and I certainly do not think It was
dear ut the price. But we have in
stock here q number which are far
more valuable. At the Paris exhibi-
ton Of 1900 we had a white pearl
necklace on show, the price of which
was 100000. Such prices as e25.-
600, 100000 and $4,000 are not at
all uncommon.
'"The reason that pearls bring in
such enormous prices Is that fine
specimens are scarce. First, they must
be perfectly round, then they must
match. Not one in a thousand is per.
fectly round. Then necklaces are usu.
ally made so that the pearls are large
in front and taper of gradually at the
back. This adds to the difficulty Of
matching them. To make up really
we'll matched necklace may take years.
Undoubtedly the price has gone UP
during the last ten years, and 1t is
still going up. This is due partly to
an increased demand. Then the com.
pany which took over the Ceylon pearl
fisheries about a year ago is closing
them down for twelve months to ena-
BILE the oysters to recuperate. There
fore, during the next year or SO very
few new pearls will come into the
market"

The opinion is growing that a moderate recession in business must be expected, says Banker Clews. The mere fact that new enterprises are being undertaken with more care will result in lessened demand for both commodities and labor.

The shrinkages in Wall street were felt most severely by the rich and the we'll to do, hence the masses have escaped its influence, for the present at least, and only in course of time can it extend itself throughout the line. Labor is still actively en- ployed at good wages and is consum- ing freely of all products. This means continued active consump- tion for all the great staples of com merce. Much will depend upon the next harvest. Nearly all of the crops are unusually late this season, but there is, of course, ample time for re- covery.

Every person in the United States
 is using over six times as much wood
 as he would use if he were in Flu
 rope The country as a whole con- sumes every year between three and four times more wood than all of the forests of the United States grow in
 the meantime. The average acre of forest lays up a store of only 10 cubic
 feet annually, whereas it ought to be
 laying up at least 30 cubic feet in order
 to furnish the products taken out of
 1t. Since 1880 more than 700,000,- 900, ,000 feet of timber have been cut
 for lumber alone, including s0,000,- 000 coo feet of coniferous timber in
 excess of the total coniferous stump age estimate of the census in 1880.
 These are some of the remarkable statements made in circular 97 of
 the forest service, which deals with
 the timber supply of the United
 States and reviews the stumpage es- inmates made by all the important authorities. A study of the circular must lead directly to the conclusion that the rate at which forest products
 In the United States have been and
 are being consumed is far too lavish, and that only one result can follow
 unless steps are promptly taken to prevent waste in use and to increase the growth rate of every acre of for est in the United States. This result
 is a timber famine. This country is to-day in the same position with re-
 gard 10 forest resources as was Ger
 many 150 years ago. During this period Of 150 years such German
 states as Saxony and Prussia. par ticularly the latter. have applied a policy of government control and
 regulation which has immensely in- creased the productivity of their for ests. The same policy will achieve even better results in the United
 States. because we have the advant- age of all the lessons which Europe has learned and paid for in the course of a century of theory and practice.
