CHICAGO, March 3.-Unfavorable

May, 1.s8 to 1881, and July, III y
to 1.72A-were followed by something
of reaction and then by additional
fresh gains.
Corn and oats were strengthened
by attention TO reduced estimates OF
farm stocks of corn and by assertions
that corn fed to hogs and cattle was
likely to afford good profit. After
opening at % to j cent advance,
May, 135 to 1.35 y, the corn market
rose a little further and then reacted
somewhat
Oats started at u to 70 cent gain,

near to the initial range.
Provisions were firmer, sympa-

FIGHT ON DIAMOND
SYNDICATE PUSHED
London Interests Denounced by
Minister of Mines in
South Africa.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAPETOWN, South Africa, March
3.-Minister of Mines Eyers, in NOV
ing the second reading of the gov
eminent diamond control bill in the
House assembly today, declared that
the London Diamond Syndicate had
monopolized diamond buying in South
Africa for 80 years and had largely
controlled the destinies of the large
diamond producers of South Africa.
Competition had been eliminated, he
said. and 1t was an unsound position
that certain shareholders in the syn
dictate control the destinies of certain
producers He charged that the syn
dictate for years had pocketed millions
at the expense of the producers, add
ing that the object of the present bill
was to have the sword of Damocles'
hanging over the combinations and
combines such as the present syndi-
cate and also to protect the producers
of South Africa.
