HIGH PRICES FOR DIAMONDS
Value of the Highly Desired Sparklers
Has Been Soaring to Unheard-
of Heights.

The economic situation of the world
ut large is said by jewellers to be
more responsible for the present high
prices of diamonds than any shortage
of diamonds In the South African
mines or any manipulation of the out
put BY the De Beers Diamond COM
pany.
The following figures concerning dia-
mond prices were obtained from Ant
werp, the European center of the dia-
mond market. An uncut diamond be-
fore the war cost $23 carat and S32
after cutting. Immediately after the
declaration of war, the price slumped.
In 1915 the Germans began to get
nervous regarding the value of paper
money and started Suying all the dia-
monds they could find.
France, Switzerland, Italy and Eng
land followed suit and the price went
mp rapidly. On the eve Of the armis-
flee, an uncut carat diamond was
worth SO. Since the war ended, the
diamond market has doomed. owing to
the depreciation of European money,
the difficulty Of exchange and the en-
barge on the export Of currency from
one European nation to another. To-
day a carat of uncut stone finds a
ready market at $50.
The Antwerp merchants no longer
seek customers. The market is swamp
ed with buyers. Credit is no longer
given. The sales are for cash. The
buyer frequently resells and the new
purchaser sells again at fat profits.
Thus the price keeps going up. Large
stones are snapped up ut unheard OF
prices.

For several years in Singapore
there has been. a most consistent and
vigorous agitation against the insti-
tuition of the well-knOwn rickshaws.
l'Most Of this agitation came from the
tongue and pen of the educated Chi

making a horse out of men is wrong
from the standpoint of the degrading
Influence which 1t has on the individ-
uals as well as the harm it is ciaimeu
to work upon the coolies.
Distances are great in most far
Eastern cities, and while the ricksnaw
makes transportation reasonably con-
venient and comfortable, the rickshaw
most certainly is q primitive vehicle

Camp WestmOre Will Succeed.
(Stanstead (P. O. Journal

Camp Westmore is in trouble f.
nancially, most regrettable outcome
of splendid project. It is to be hop
ed that matters may be adjusted so
that the camp will be successfully
continued. Too often the man or
woman with the vision for this kind
of work, lacks the important prac-
teal business sense required as the
complement of the plan and specifca-
tions, and this is not the fifth wheel
of the scheme, it should be the two
that drive and direct. Barton has
taken much interest in this project,
contributing largely for the building
of the highway from the camp to its
village; and the schedule of liabilities
shows that the creditors should get
together and make a success of the
camp. Doubtless the scheme will
warrant the investment of sufficient
capital to make it going concern.
