CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The wheat mar
ket was firm during early trading TO-
day. due chiefly to sharp bulge i'll

gains of Il to ", with May at 111A to

May option dropped back to 111hqA.
Active demand by leading bulls

DIAMOND IMPORTERS JOIN
I'M WAR ON GEM SNIUGGLERS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Thirty of the
largest wholesale firms in the Maiden
Lane district have formed an associa-
tion to cooperate with the Federal au-
thorities in running down smugglers,
whether dishonest dealers or returning
tourists. Diamonds and pearls are said
to offer to the smuggler the best op-
portunity. He can get in a vest
pocket 100000 worth OF cut diamonds
on which he clears $4,000. as the tar
iff law calls for the collection of a
duty of 10 per cent. A string of pearls
of the same value can be carried in just
as small space.
One of the means proposed for elinli-
mating the gem sinusglers, or at least
curtailing their activity, is TO induce
the syndicate or the British authori-
ties to keep accurate records of ship
ments, as is done by the customs au-
thorities in New York. The members
of the association are to obtain and
give information that will assist the
authorities in tracing shipments and
sales here and abroad.

OPERATORS PREDICT
COAL PRICE ADVANCE.

PITTSBURG. Dec. 27.-Prices in the
bituminous fields will advance next
year, according to leading coal oper-
ators in the Pittsburg district. They
will advance not so much because Of
any increase In wages paid for the min
ing as from the fact that neF and
more drastic laws are expected TO be
enforced regarding mining methods and
safety for miners that will raise the
cost OF production necessary to a point
higher than ever before.
Miners have decided to ask for new
base rate of 81 ton. an advance of 10
cents, while the operators, who are
realizing the difficulties in the way of
too sharp an advance in prices. want
to lower the base rate to s. cents a ton.
A meeting to be held at Toledo, Ohio,
win likely settle the matter.
Word has come to Pittsburg from the
Northwest that the stocks of coal there,
shipped by lake. have been drawn upon
heavily thus far and some fear OF the
supply not lasting through the cold
weather is held.
