quest that his firm of horse buyers

German government 10000 horses for
service in the European war has been
received by George Woods OF the firm
OF Watson, Woods Brothers & KEEL

quest from an agent Of the German

How the animals were to be deliver

cussed In the messages, as the part OF
the problem, Woods said, would be
up to the purchaser.
The firm will not bid on the con.
tract, Woods said, because 1t has
been found that the, government
agents resort to sharp practice
which robs the transactions of the
profit. The animals are contracted
for subject to inspections, he says
and when delivered large percent
age of them are declared to be below
standard and so refused. Then these
culls are later bought up by men re
presenting themselves as being rail
road contractors, who pay consid

tobliged to accept the lower figure Il
get rid of the animals and stop heavy
feed bills. But these alleged contrac
tors, Woods says. are in reality also
buying horses for service in the wal
zone. and the entire shipment Of
horses reaches the purchasing govern
ment, though at lower figure than
the original contract price.

Commodity.
MINES CLOSED DOWN
Moro Than Ninety Percent OF the
Output comes From south Africa
Which b In the War

WASHINGTON, d. C.. March 23.-
"War has worked q greater disturb
ance n the production of diamonds
than almost Of any other commodity .
saws q bulletin Just issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society. Not only
has the cutting Of these gems almost
ceased. but the largest diamond mines
in the world have been shut down
since last August. More than 80 per
cent OF the annual diamond output
comes from South Africa, from mines
within the war area whose operation
has been suspended. It Is feared In
Belgium that the Antwerp diamond
cutting industry has been ruined past
repair; the Rue de Pelican has been
deserted. In Amsterdam, the other
great diamond-cutting and polishing
center, work has almost completely
halted. The work rooms Of London
and Paris are reported to be as quiet
as those OF the Dutch.
Diamond production is Of consider
able geographical localization. The
stones were produced through the CEN
turtles in I1dia, and many are still
mined there. though few OF this out
put leaves the country Likewise, the
diamond production Of South America
is of little Importance IN connection
with the worlds supply. South Africa
IS the great diamond source, and the
greatest part OF its product is pur-
chased by the diamond syndicate,
with headquarters in London, which
takes the entire product Of the De
Beers Consolidated Mines. Ltd. This
syndicate through its centralized con-
troll OF the diamond industry has been
able to fix the worlds price for these
rare gems.
''The machinery by which the nice
balance between supply and demand
necessary to the maintaining of dia-
monds in superior relationship to 9TH
er commodities of life was devised by
Cecil Rhodes. Many millions OF dol
lars worth of these stones were taken
each year at the mines near Kmber-
ley, the Premier mine I'm the Trans
vaal, and the mines Of German South
west Africa. It is estimated that the
total diamond production OF the mines
OF South Africa has reached the enor-
nous sum OF $3.50, 100000 In a single
year, 1913, the combined outputs OF
the De Beers and the Premier mines
amounted in value to 1000, 600,
while German Southwest Africa pro-
duced during the same year diamonds
valued at $1O,75O,OOO. The United
States takes the largest percentage
Of these gems.
