Lack of Transportation Facilities to
Move Crop.

Chicago.-Five hundred thousand
railway cars are needed Immediately
to move the corn crop to market, a
committee of the Chicago board of
trade, appointed to investigate the

flowing, banks are seriously hampered
because of funds tied up in the crop,
and living costs remain high because
of the lack of grain, the committee de-
clares.
We have the next to the biggest
corn crop in history, and the finest in
point of quality, but the supply in the
distributing centers is so small as to
cause alarm, said John J. Stream.

All Diamonds Yet Mined so far Worth
 Thirteen Billions

Chicago, Feb. 7.-In all the dia- monds mined in history and exist ing today as cut and polished gems were gathered from the ends of the earth, they would form pile about as large as wagon load of coal dumped on the sidewalk, says Chi cago statistical expert. The pile would contain 46,355,474 carats and the gems would weigh 10 1-2 tons If the pile were in the form of a cone, it would have a base diameter of eight feet and a height of five feet. Reckoning the diamonds at $500 a carat. it would have value of S129O6. .642,2 200. It would contain 71O 1-3 gallons worth $5.539.023 a gallon: or 76 1-3 bushels valued at $51. .57O729 a bushel. All the worlds diamonds could be packed in an or dinary clothes closet or kitchen pam try.
 This estimate is based on an ap- proximation of the total output of rough diamonrs in the worlds en- tire history. India, it is estimated. has produced. all told, 5O,000.00o carats: Brazil 15,OO0.00O; South Af rica 17O, ,,574,0OO; Borneo, 100000. British Guinea, 5000o: Australia. 150 0oO; China, 2.oOO: Siberia, 800. United States, 500. This is a total rough output of 236.777.374 carats or 55 3-5 tons advoirdupois.
 Only about 50 percent of rourh diamonds are cut into gems and lose about 60 percent of their weight in being cut and polished Diamond" are practically iridestructible and the first diamond ever mined may possi- bly still be in existence. But the es- innate allows for the loss of at least 100000 carats by flood. fire, ship wreck and other disasters. These reductions and losses leave a total of cut and polished diamonds at 46,- 355.474 carats.
 The estimate of $500 carat is the minimum price at which d'a- monds can be, bought today. The popular demand for diamonds was never so great and they have become the gem of working people as well as the wealthy classes.
