NEAR EAST WAR REPORTS
 SEND DIAMOND PRICES UP

LONDON. Nov. 30-The present boom in diamonds in England is attributed partly to recent rumors of war in the Near East. Experts in the trade say that this phen- omenon has been noticed before. and that when political troubles are brewing the business in dia- monds revives.

 Another reason given for the dia- mond activity is that new fields are being opened. rough diamonds are coming to hand in larger quantities, and customers want not only the finest sort, but also smaller stones for customers.
