IMPORTS OF STONES
SHOW BIG INCREASE

New YoTk-According to figures compiled
by William b. Treadwell. examiner at
the appraisers stores for the fiscal year
ended June 81. the. imports of cut precious
stones and pearls totaled $29.26l .794. and
his figures show that uncut gems. prilci-
paliy diamonds, reached the value of &c.
is. 1871. These statistics mean that during
the fiscal year more precious stones
reached this country than in any previous
year. with The exception OF the years end
ed June 81. 19O6. 1907 and 1910. In 1910 all
records were broken by the remarkable
receipts of ~. S8h.O o. worth OF gems. while
in 1906 and 1907, which were considered
exceptional years. the imports reached to-
tails of $40. ri. 542 and $4l. 112. 81.
The heavy importations of rough dia-
monds during the fiscal year reflect .
growth In the diamond cutting industry
in this country. where some OF the finest
stones are at present being cut. There
IL a duty OF 10 per cent on cut diamonds.
while the rough product is allowed free
entry.
A review Of the year shows that there
has been only m official advance of s
per cent in the price of diamonds, but
there nave been other indirect advances
in that time.
The fiscal year Just ended has seen an
increasing demand for pearls. and with
the continued call for these gems has
come a steady advance IN the price of
fine specimens. The depletion Of the pear.
bearing beds 10 given as one reason for
the high prices now demanded for fine
pearls.
Because OF the scarcity Of oriental pearls
there is a greater demand than ever
for hne American pearls, and pearl hunt
crs along the western rivers are now
busily engaged in searching for pearl
bearing mussels.

You can buy good fatback bacon today
for about that price. Flour was 5 cents
a pound. 1t Is no higher now. Hay was
$1.N a hundred pounds and a beef cow
cost about SO. You can buy the same
things today at these prices. In 1873 no.
tatoes sold for a dollar a bushel. a barrel
OF turnips cost q dollar and a barrel OF
salt fish cost $3.50. You can buy a bar
rel of salt fish today for $3.50. Manufac-
tured tobacco was IS cents a pound. You
