MINES SHUT TO
 KEEP PRICES HIGH
Trust Admits Plan to Re strict Output So Slump Will Not Affect Gems.

New York, Sept. 7-The world has been put on diamond rations to regu- late the price of diamonds. This an- nouncement comes from South Af- rica.
 South Africa mine owners recently decided on a restricted output of gems. Of the limited amount turned out the De Beers mines will supply 51 per cent, the Premier mine, 8 per cent, and the mines of the Southwest the famous mines have been closed down. Others are operating on only part time.
 output was followed by another from the London Diamond syndicate, the selling organization of the De Beers Mines, Ltd, which is the diamond trust, that present diamond prices will be maintained. This uEtimatum ap- plies to rough diamonds. But as the South African mines supply 9S per cent of all the worlds diamonds, the price of rough will be reected in the price of polished gems.
 The stand of the South African mine owners and the London syndi- cate to prevent any cheapening of diamonds by reducing prices has been backed up by the addied diamond crafts of Amsterdam, the great mar ket for polished gems. These trades men and brokers have offered finan- cial help to small dealers to prevent forced sales and declare they will do everything in their power to keep dia- mond prices at present levels.
