RETAIL SHOE DEALERS
They Met to Form an Organizations
Crawford at Head.

The Retail Shoe Dealers association
met last night at the Commercial club
for the purpose of effecting a better
organization. The association was or
ganiZe1 last April, largely through the
efforts of D. w. Crawford of the Gerst-
ley-Crawsord Shoe company. The OBJ
ject of the associa ton is to let the
shoe dealers get acquainted and to dis
cuss trade problems.
Last night the association decided to
hold meetings once each month to give
better attention to problems that CON
front them. Another thing discussed
last night was the plan of avoiding the
constant price cutting sales and have
them brought to a reasonable limit.
The officers of the association are D.
w. Crawford, president; Henry Auer-
bach vice president Arthur Springer
secretary, and Frank E Leatherman
treasurer.

In spite of the hue and cry over the
high cost Of living the import of gems
throughout the United States during the
fiscal year which ends this month is es-
timated at $4,000, 900. The figures break
all records.
Already precious stones OF an appraised
value OF S36S6,2S0 have passed through
the New York Custom House. The year
started in July. 1912. with imports Of
s55i1ll6. the largest for any month, In
1911 the importation OF gems at New York
amounted TO $50, 445,2S5. of which amount
according u William h. Treadwell. the
Iewelry examiner. the cut precious stones
and pearls totalled s?926l.I9i. and the
uncut stones. principally diamonds. So
1s3.49l The total for that year reached
S3S, 37i.S9l. a gain over the highest pre-
vious record OF about 100000.
There has been n marked increase in
the demand for colored stones. and fine
Ceylon sapphires OF ten and twelve carats
have been sold at from $500 TO 500 y
carat since the beginning of the year,
when those gems became fashionable.
The demand for fine pearls has been I'M
precedented and there are at present few
desirable gems of this kind offered to
American dealers The increase In the
price has been correspondngly large.
