100000 worth of the diamonds import
ed since 1900 came in the uncut state
and that their value was doubled bv
the cutting process which occurred
within this country, it is apparent that
the value of the stock in the country

thai prices of diamonds have increas-
ed materially during the war.
About one-half of the worlds dia-
monds are now apparently owned in
the United States. An estimate made
in 1900 by the authority above quoted
put the value of the worlds stock Of

the total known stock. With the rap
