TO BREAK MONOPOLY.
Contract Between Diamond Mines
 Syndicate Exniran snnn-

contract Between Diamond Mines and
 Syndicate Expires soon.
 London, March 9--There is a proba b ility, according to The Daily Mail. that the diamond monopoly will be broken up through the non-renewal of the contract which expires this month be. tween the Premier Diamond Mining Company and the Diamond Syndicate, which hitherto has taken the output of both the Premier ana the DeBeers companies. In case the contract is not renewed, war will be declared by the Premier company against the DeBeers company.
 The diamond syndieate' practically controls the worlds output amounting to about 350.000.O00 annually. Early in the year there was a depression in the diamond markets of the world re- sulting from the financial situation in America and the money stringency in Europe. Tn order to maintain the price of diamonds, the Premier Company an- nounced reduction in their monthly output and the diamond syndicate also came to the support of the market, de- ciding that there should be no re- duction in the prices of stones. It was believed at that time that the slackness Of the American demand would be shortlived.
