DIAMONDS STILL HIGH.

New York, April 23-Louis ASra- hams. president of the great diamond syndicate of international fame, which controls ninety eight per cent of the diamond output of the world. says that there is to be no shrinkage in the price of diamonds despite the fact that there is now a decrease in the demand for the precious stones.
 MT. Abrahams is making his first visit to America, having arrived re- gently from his home in London.
 Tt Is true" said Mir. Abrahans that since the beginning of the recent period of financial stringency in Amer lea, the demand for diamonds has been materially reduced. Within the last two or three years. more especially In 1905 and 1906, the demand for dia- monds had increased beyond all pre- eedent in America. and in this coun- try during 1906 fully sixty or seventy per cent of the worlds total diamond output found it's market
 But the recent American crisis in fnance has now altered things mater iaIiy From having been the largest of consumers, you Americans are new buying practically no diamonds at all {, In consequence of these conditions, tha mines within the last two or three months have been decreasing their out put more than one-half.
 Tn my opinion. 1t will not long be necessary to restrict the normal out. put of the mines.

A BIG FAILURE.
Brokerage Firm of Wallace Hopkins
 and Company in Bankruptcy.

and Company in Bnnkruptcy'
 Chicago. April 23.-Judge $. n. Bethea. in the Federal Court, tonas appoirted Edwin c, Day receiver or the affairs of the banking and brok- craze firm of Wallace H Hopkins and Company on a petition filed by three creditors The petition declares that the liabilities of the firm amount to Si00. 900 and places the assets at $500.
 F. A. Harper, who has been acting al attorney for Hopkins, said that the liabilities are not less than 00,O0O. He said he did not know the where abouts of Hopkins and that he believed he had left the city. One of the pe- ttioners. W. c. Clark, charges Hop kins with having diverted $s,000 given to him to invest in board of trade transactions to the promotion of sales of stock of the Consolidated Zine Company, a merger of mines in Wiscon- sin and Missouri,
 The Consolidated Zinc Company stock has been widely advertised by the Hopkins company as syndicate managers. The address and literature are declared by the postof1ce inspector to be highly colored.
 The literature sent out" asserted Inspector Stuart shows Hopkins's business to be a fraud on the face of it. We have investigated both the Hopkins Company and the Consolidated Zinc Company, but we do not claim that the officials of the companies are criminally responsible. It IS the pro- moter or promoters that we are after. The Consolidated Zinc Company IS Ad- vertised as a great concern, represent. ing leading dividend paying zinc mines and concentrating mills in the lead and zinc regions of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. So far we have been able to learn, 1t has only options of mines at Freeport, Ill. and PlattesVille Wis. ''
