states 80 years ago only 561,360 active
bales of cotton. In 1910 there were

DIAMONDS TO ADVANCE.
Maiden Lane Dealers Hear of Increase
for Large Gems.

New York, Jan. 19.-An advance in
the price of diamonds is expected
shortly by the big American whole
salers in Maiden Lane. Although no
official announcement has as yet been
received, the dealers have been in
formed that the international agencies
which control the sale of the gems
have decided to increase the price of
diamonds of large size. This is in ac-
cordance with statement made at the
annual meeting of the DeBeers com
pany recently at Kimberly, South
Africa, by an official who said that
the stocks of diamonds at the mines
had been greatly reduced.
This country takes about sixty per
cent of the entire diamond output of
the world and, according to a recent
announcement by the president of the
National Retail jewelers. association,
more pieces of diamond jewelry rang
ing in price from $50 to $1,000 were
sold in 1910 than in any other year
in the history of the trade. 1t is said
that so per cent of the diamonds were
bought by the we'll to do, or medium
class people, and not by the million
aire class, and it is declared by Maid
en- Lane dealers that the western far
mers are buying diamonds in large
quantities.

Counsel for the Meat Producers
Association.
INCREASED STEADILY

Washington, Jan. 19-"No contro-
versy ever existed before when the
stake between opposing parties was so
huge as this one, measured by the cold
standard of dollars and cents
Clifford Thorne, counsel for the Meat
Producers association of the middle
west, today thus characterized the in
quiry before the interstate commerce
commission into the proposed advance
of freight rates.
Shippers and consumers want to see
the railroad companies grow and pros
per-" he declared. I'VE are willing to
be liberal in the truest sense, but the
charges exacted by the roads must be
reasonable.
IF it permit a slight increase IN
either official classification territory, or
in western trunk line territory two re-
suits will follow:
1.-The existing schedule of rates will
be adopted as a reasonable scale with
out having been Investigated and the
present capitalization of the COM
panies will be accepted as represent
ing their value"
Mr.. Thorne said during the last ten
years the average market prices of
commodities. at wholesale, had in
creased about IL per cent, while the
average prices of 40 transportation
companies had increased 10.6 per cent
which he held to be a remarkable dem
onstration that the railroad business
had been profitable.
81 have compiled the figures repre-
senting the net earnings of American
railways during the last twenty years"
said Mr.. Thorne, land after subtract
ing all operating expenses and all
taxes, I find that for the year ending
June 80, 1910, the American railways
had a net income amounting to over
S70.000,O00 greater than ever before
in their entire history. I find that the
net earnings of American railways
have not only increased in gross, but
they have increased for every train
hauled one mile and for every mile of
railroad
Thorne made these three assertions:
"First-The credit Of railway COM
panies, is as good or better than that
of any other class of public service or
industrial companies in the United
States.
'Second-Railway securities are
more attractive to actual investors and
have increased on the value more rap
idly during the last decade than any
other class.
"Third-The earnings of our rail-
roads above all operating expenses and
all taxes have been increasing stead
lily during the last 20 years and last
year was the most prosperous year in
the history of American railroads.
"'In this case, if you deny the right
to a general advance you know and I
know that the prosperity of these COM
panies is bound to keep on increas-
ing"
