Gem Cutters Consolidate
Amsterdam Diamond Business
in "a Large Factories

The cutting and polishing Of dia-
monds. which is one Of the important
industries of Amsterdam, Netherlands,
has been concentrated in "a of the
larger factories In that city so that
about 80 Of the smaller ones are closed.
This move has been taken following 3
government order that the amount OF
coal used must be materially reduced.
The men employed in the smaller
establishments have not been thrown
out Of work, but have merely changed
their place Of work. However, except
for the present depression In the dia-
mond business such a change could
not have been made. Because the war
has seriously curtailed the diamond
trade over 5000 men out of total OF
1850 have been idle this spring

In d u S trial
Cotton

The cotton market showed consider
able irregularity yesterday, but on the
whole was lower, closing at IA to 22
points net decline. At one time the
market was IS to as points under the
previous close, but from this low level,
reached during the forenoon, there was
an active early afternoon rally which
carried prices in some instances
shade above the previous close, fol-
lowed by weakening conditions again
in the last few minutes. Crop condi-
tons were regarded favorable in the
main.
The weekly weather and crop report
Of the government noted an al
most entire absence Of rain In the cot
ton growing districts Of Texas during
the week Just ended, except in the Red
River Valley counties, and said rainfall
was heavy to excessive IN Oklahoma.
Cotton made good growth In the latter
state, however, and is fruiting well.
Marked improvement in South Carolina
and continued improvement in North
Carolina were noted. Weevil damage, the
report stated, had been kept down, and
was serious only in limited districts.
Private advices regarding crop pros
poets were somewhat mixed, and these
reports, together with uncertainty over
the outcome of peace proposals, made
for an erratic market
The census report had little effect on
the market. 1t showed that during
July BAL, 495 bales had been consumed
in this country, against 489,52S last
year, and in the twelve months ended
July 81 a total Of 6,801,lS8 bales,
against 6,397,6l3 last year. The guam
tity on hand July 81 in consuming es-
Establishments was 1,498,939 bales,
against l,632,245 last year, and in pub
lie storage and at congresses SS8,117.
against 1,107 ,467 last year. Linters not
included above were s4,3S7 bales con-
sumed during July. Exports for the
day were 39,412 bales, making $4,000
so far this season. Southern spot mar
kets, as officially reported, were hc
lower to 80 points higher.

Yes'day's Pre-
Metals

"The Iron Age" this week says that
the supply of steel in the form of bill
lets, sheet bars aud slabs is increasing
in the open market, with the result that
prices are yielding. A Gale of 1000
tons of open hearth billets and an
other of 1000 tons are reported at s85,
or So ton less than the quotation pre-
vailing a week ago.
The copper market continues dull
and featureless. Sales are light and
limited for the most part to future de-
liveries. Spot copper is offered nomi-
nally at 81 to 271e cents a pound. Re-
ports that the government has ex-
pressed q Willingness to revise its
terms Of payment covering its copper
requirements and advance 221s cents
pound to producers instead of lS&
cents failed to lend any zest to trad
ing.
Current spot prices for few Of the
principal metals and metal products,
compared with those prevailing at the
corresponding time Of last year, follow:

been held recently to adjust long
standing controversy between the City
OF St. Louis and the United Railways
Company over the mill tax, extension OF
franchise and other questions. IL is
believed that the result will be read
justment of the company's capitaiiza-
ton.
The members of the committee state
that they have no interest in any or the
other securities Of the company. As no
definite plan has been agreed upon be-
tween the city and the United Railways
Company, the committee does not con-
slider it necessary that bonds should be
deposited at this time. Accordingly
holders are requested 10 notify either
the ST. Louis Union Trust Company or
the Union Trust Company OF New
York OF their addresses and number or
bonds owned, so that the committee
may keep them informed of the situa-
tion as it may develop.
Bethlehem Steel.-The "A" and "B"
stocks became conspicuously strong in
the late trading yesterday. following
the announcement that the regular
quarterly dividends had been declared.
The rise was attributed 10 covering
by a short interest which is said 10 have
grown to substantial size as the result
Of the recent reports of impending
financing.
General Motors.-The stock OF this
company yesterday after opening at
ll5A sold as low as 110& and closed
at 1I2ss, a net loss of 3b. The weak
ness was attributed TO the publicity
given reports of an attempt by i'm
portant interests in the company to
squeeze the shorts on Monday and
Tuesday and the subsequent warning oy
Stock Exchange officials that such
efforts would not be contenanced

Porto Rico and Prohibition

1t is explained in Porto Rico, follow
ing the action of the people Of that
island in voting, by an overwhelming
majority, for prohibition, that the only
reason why such a decision was not
made long ago is that the people there
had not thought of it. II has often
been asserted that first Impressions are
best, and the har-trigger judgment
meted out by the Porto Ricans seems to
support this claim. At any rate. quick
and decisive action "a better than no
action at all.-Christian Science Moni-
