ness and industry which followed the
close of the war the imports of pre-
cious stones dropped to s76,000,000 in
1920 and $3S,000.000 in 1921, but with
the revival of business and industry
the imports again advanced. S6S, ,000,-

HUMBLE EMPIRE BUILDER

Lord Leverholne in the London Spectator
When / first visited Australia in
1892 there was then living in New

over ninety years old.
He was a multimillionaire in mon
ey, cattle, sheep and land, yet lived
the same simple life he had lived as
shepherd in England as a young
man.
He was asked why he worked on
when he had so much of this worlds
wealth, and he replied: "It is not
money ] work for, but I've put cat
tie where there were no cattle; I've
put sheep where there were on sheep i:

GAINS LARGELY FRACTIONAL
U. S. Obligations Remain Firm and

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, January 4.-The bond
market was definitely strong today.
Demand centered in the good middle
grade bonds rather than in the saw
ings bank rank. The indications
were that a large amount Of January
dividends and interest disbursements S
were being reinvested in good bonds,
but that investors were not willing
to take less than 5is per cent. Re-
newed activity in more speculative
issues was also in evidence.
short-Terms Popular.
\ notable feature of the day was
the inquiry for short term securities.
Southern Pacific convertible As of
1879 ran up to SO, equivalent to a
5ia per cent basis. United Stat es
sold well above los. This last named
is secured by deposit of United states
Rubber refunding 6s, and while not
in the same grade as Southern Pacific
is is still considered sound invest
ment.
Central Leather 5s, due in fifteen
months. was another short term issue
to gain ground. At today's price the
bend was up nearly seven points
above the extreme low reached late
I
Strett Railway first 5s. due next
September, and the 6 per cent notes,
due April l. both gained fractionally.
and in the case of bonds with such
very short terms to run a fractional
gain represents q large decrease in
maturity yield.
Some Market Leaders.
Perhaps the most significant de-
velopment was the better market for
such middle grade bonds AS TenneS-
see Electric Power IS, Pacific Gas
and Electric 5s. Detroit Edison IS and
Philadelphia Company 6s. This grade
OF bonds has been comparatively neg
lected for long time, but it is the
class to which investors desirous Of
reasonable security combined with d
fair return would naturally turn.
Among the speculative Issues
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit 6s
made a new high on heavy transac-
tions and buying movement car
ried International Mercantile Marine
es up nearly point. American
Cotton Oil 5s at SS sold points
above the quotation less than a week
ago. Atlantic Fruit as certificates
stamped jumped points.
Seubonrd Liens Higher.
Trading in the speculative rails was
more quiet but there was no evidence
of weakness anywhere and the Sea-
board junior liens were all slightly
higher. ST. Louis San Francisco in
come 6s touched SO. There was no
important change in the St. Paul
list.
French bonds, especially the obli-
cations of the NATIONAL government,
manifested the same Indifference to
the weakness in franc exchange
which has been so remarkable a fea-
ture of the market for a week past.
