MARKET FOR GEMS ACTIVE.
Expensive Jcwelry Ia Fiji Many
christmas StockIugs.

In the Christmas stocking this z
there Will be more expensive jewelry
n gems han In years. Many pur-
chases Of costly articles have already
been made in the Fifth venue shops
and the large number OF buyers thus far
points to the fact that the none made
in Wall Street in the last six months
will be freely spent this Christmas for
pearl necklaces and gem studded crea-
tons OF adornment.
This country Is to-day practically the
only market for fine gems and the return
of prosperity is becoming more evident
every day in the orders that are coming
TO wholesalers and manufacturers Of
jewelry In this city from out of town
dealers who find that their stocks are
not large enough to meet the big holiday
trade. Bumper crops and high prices
have put a great deal of money into
circulation in the rural districts ana
purse strings are loose.
Thus far this year the total value
OF the gems which have passed through
tho Custom House in this city has
reached S.2.0lo,s2 and 1t il predicted
that the receipts FOR Decerber will swell
the total for the year to bou s25,-

SCHUMANN FANTASIA

LARGE AUDIENCE PLEASED

Fritz kreisler. the DISTINGUISHED vio.

the now established custom. his audi

Here was the real interest Of the re-

Schumann wrote this fantasia about
three years before his DEATH, and II
shows some evidence OF that failure
OF his powers which overlook him les
the end OF his career. IT has been
little heard in recent years. Indeed
II is doubtful whether in the multi

the delicate composition with much

The fantasia was composed for violin

discerned that in the Kreisler edition

had not been overlooked. But on the
whole II may be said that the famous
artist has done little to the compost
ton. He has made a few brief ~elisions
and he has impaired a modicnm OF
life to the accompaniment hero and
there but he has done nothing radical
and admirers OF Schumann will not
arise in wrath. Mr., Kreisler played
the composition in a way which showed
how a~ffectionately he regarded Il and
