1t was evident that bears were timid

that commodities have not been inhu-

by the unsettled financial and economic
conditions.
The opinion was expressed that Wall
street interests were picking up corn,
owing to the unfavorable action of
securities.
Advices from various sources sug
gested that farmers were planning to
cut down their acreage this year, on
account of the high cost OF labor.

In addition to the marvellous work

to $1,000 carat. Exceptional speci.
mems are worth considerably more
than $1,000 a carat A thing which
must not be lost sight of is that
quality and not size governs the
value Of diamond. 1t is not rare
to see single carat stone that is
worth five times as much US d three
carat diamond of inferior quality.
One infallible guide for prospective
buyers of diamonds is that cheap
stone is a poor stone, regardless OF
what the seller may say to the con-
trary.
There are perfectly legitimate rea-
sons for the advances which are
taking place in diamond prices. First
Of all, the South African mines are
not as productive as they formerly
were, nor are the rough stones pro-
duced now OF as good quality as here
tofore. The mines are constantly
being increased in depth, which en-.
hances the difficulty and expense OF
operation. Labor at the mines has
advanced at the same rate It has In
other parts of the world. Government
taxes also add to the increased price
the public must pay for its diamonds.
About the only thing which has not
added to their cost in the last few
years is the tariff levied on imports
OF rough and finished diamonds into
this country. This has remained I'M

WHY DIAMONDS
COST so MUCH
Many Factors Go to Make Up Value
of the Stone-impossibfe to Set
Value on One Sight
Unseen.

Since the extra rapid increases in
diamond prices began some time
ago, members of the jewelry trade
all the way from the retailer to the
manufacturer have been asked al
most daily, What is the price Of a
good one-carat diamond?" The an
swer to the question Is about as diff
ficult to give as that to the famous
riddle about the age of Ann, remarks
the New York Times. In other words.
unless the query is made about some
particular stone, and the stone is pro
duced with it for examination, the
questioned cannot be answered at all.
According to Julius Wodiska, a manu-,
featuring jeweler OF this city, it is
as impossible to give the value of an
unseen diamond as 1t is to appraise
a building without being told how
high it is or where it is located.
There are many factors that go
to make up the value Of a diamond"
Mr.. Wodiska said. "They include its
make, shape, color, degree of per-
lection, brilliancy, proportions, cut
ting, etc. II imperfect, the character
of the imperfection and its location
in the stone play an important part
in determining its value. All OF the
factors mentioned have to be given
carefully determined values, which
are finally added up like a sum OF
figures Obviously this calls for the
judgment Of an expert.

NEW YORK, April 2--Chances for

The substrata element objected
most strenuously to that part OF the
Walker bill which made licenses
necessary for everyone involved in a

fields of easy money was oblously

Senator Walker, sponsor of the fif-

bill and announced he will make no
effort TO get it out Of the assembly

that the Walker bill was full of

Soldier Bonus Legislation.

WASHINGTON, April "A de-
olson on reporting soldier bonus
legislation at this session may be
reached at a meeting Of the house
ways and means committee today.
Republican members have come to
the conclusion that the only way in
which revenue can be obtained to
grant a soldier bonus is by a general
tax of one per cent on all sales. AT
present serious consideration is being
given to the enactment of sales tax
to care for bonus and at the same
time provide a means of repeating
excess profits taxes. The excess
profits tax under the plan would be
continued only until the bonus is
paid.
Present indications are that il the
committee does decide to grant a
bonus it will not exceed $40 for each
months service.
