JEWELRY-Creat Demand
For I7uperfect Diamonds

The demand for diamonds has been
so great that even yellow and imper-
feet stones weighing one carat or more,
which formerly were on the market in
enormous quantities, are extremely
scarce. Considerable stocks Of these
have been purchased within the last few
months and many dealers are now
selling them in brooches, rings, pins,
lavaliers and bar pins.
The scarcity Of high grade diamonds
has reached point where many deal
ers ere unable to do business because
of their lack Of stocks. One large
dealer said yesterday that there were
at least twenty customers for every
diamond offered for sale.
There IS no immediate prospect Of
stocks coming into this country, as the
foreign markets are almost entirely
depleted. One Of the principal reasons
tor the present world shortage Is that
the South American diamond mines are
working with greatly reduced forces
owing to the higher wages and better
working conditions offered in other in
dustries.
