GRAIN OPINIONS.

Ware & Leland: Believe corn will
work to higher levels.
Lamson Bros: 1t seems likely that
there will be plenty of old corn to go
around and at this extreme price it
will be difficult to maintain bull mar
ket.
Thomson McKinnon: There is GER
fainly no indication of weakness in
cash corn and we believe 1t is only a
matter of time when July and Septem-
Der discount must adjust Itself.

Scattered showers occurred mostly III

of the region; they were light to mod
crate generally but heavy in northeast
ern Nebraska, two stations there re-
porting more than one inch: there was
also moderately heavy rainfall in west

British Dye Syndicate

The report of the British dye syndi-
cate British Dyes, Limited) for the
year ending April 80, 1917, indicates
satisfactory progress. A dividend Of 9
per cent was recommended by the
board. Of directors, this being the maxi
mum amount allowed. At the annual
meeting 1t was stated that the produc-
ton of dyes continues to be limited
by the shortage of certain materials,
but Notwithstanding this the supply
throughout the year has been increased
and the variety of dyes extended. An
extensive plant for the production OF
azo colors has been completed and is
now in operation.
The range of direct cotton colors has
been supplemented by the inclusion OF
a yellow, violet and green and the sup
ply of wool colors of this type
has been enlarged. The production
OF methylene blue has also been
largely increased. as well as the
output of mordant colors, which is now
stated TO be sufficient to meet the de-
mands made upon the company Tor
dyestuffs used in the manufacture OF
the varied clothing equipment OF both
British and allied troops. Among the
vat dyes of the indanthrene type a
blue and yellow are now being made.
and il is hoped shortly 70 extend the
range OF these colors. The company
has produced a color similar to the
alizarin blue dyestuffs for wool OF ex-

value of diamonds exported to tins
country in the first nine months oil
the current year was S13,744,434. .,
With regard to the position OF the
Dutch diamond industry, Mr.. MIhin
says:
"The quantity of diamonds exported
was much less this year in proportion
to the decrease of value, as prices we're
at least 25 per cent higher. 1t is dim
cult to say what the advance really is,
as dealers vary so much in their esti-
mates, according to the different quall-
ties in which they specialize AMI de-
pending upon whether these qualities
have risen much or little in price.
"The strongest demand recently has
been for the lower grades, melees,
small brilliants, etc. The larger and
costlier varieties find their principal
market in the United States. An active
request for the smaller and cheaper
grades in the local market has been
very favorable for retail dealers, and
has also reduced unemployment in the
diamond industry. At the beginning
of 1917 the number of members of the
diamond workers union was 1926. OF
whom 2,061 were unemployed. The lat
ter number steadily increased, until 1t
reached 5,372 in April, 1917, when the
total ntAnber of members was 1l,464.
Unemployment decreased during the
following months, most rapidly in Au-
gust and September. At the beginning
of October the number of the unem-
ployed was 1868 in total membership

will result in much larger sales.
American failure TO secure "A larger
nroportion of the trade is due TO the
same difficulties that obtain IN othef
parts of India, says Commercial agent
Ralph NJ. Odell, author of the govern,

briefly. arc the inability or unwilling
ness OF American cotton manufacturers

most widely consumed in the market
and the lack of proper selling facilities
for reaching the trade. Prior to the
war IL IS doubtful whether 1t would
