Tho Most of Them Aro Purchased by Americans. From Canton Ppnre Moments. South Africa Is Ihe world's greatest diamond mine, nnd the United States 1h the beet market In the universe for diamonds. The exports of diamonds from South African diamond fields ex ceed 3,000,000 per annum, and tho world's total output Is about 4.000,000. Of this total the Culled States buys about ,C2,500,000 worth, almost entirely in cut stones. While tariff changes have affected fv!ewhat the diamond trade In tho United States, and have recently pro moted tho business of diamond cutting and setting there, they have been with out serious effect upon tho American market, which for diamonds Is the best In the world. In the United States one is Impressed with the extraordinary popularity and almost lavish use of diamonds. Not only are there more diamonds there than In any other part of the world, hut they arc In more general use. The most valunble individual dia monds of the world's supply aro sel dom worn. The largest known dia mond weighs 3CB carats. The value of the fnmous Kohlnoor, which weighs 103 carats, is JC100.000. but tho value of diamonds is not wholly regulated by weight, color being an Important element. Until a century and a half ago the world's diamond field was India, nnd fcr nearly a century India held this position. Then the discovery of dia mond mines in lirnzll brought South American diamonds Into the market, and In 1SG8 the South African or Capo diamond fields were discovered, and have been worked with groat profit ever since, while the Ilrazlllan Held!) have been practically abandoned. The South African diamond field cov ers 15,000 square miles, and one lleld the Klmborly, covering nine acres has produced more than .C:!0,000,0(M worth of diamonds since 1ST1. The present annual export of dia monds from the South African diamond fields averages 1,1500 pounds In weight, to a value, us we have stated, of over JC 3,000,000. Two thousand white and 0,000 na tive miners aro employed there. For some reason which Is not very plain, although the products of diamond mines have been for many years in ter ritory owned and controlled either by Kngland, Spain or Portugal, tho busi ness of diamond cutting has centered in and about the Netherlands, and par ticularly Belgium. The first guild of diamond-cutters was established In the town of Bruges. In that country, more than .'00 years ago, and since that tlmo the business has been a very profitable one, both In Antwerp and Amsterdam. Venice Is Drying Up.

Situation So Far as the Mill Owners Is Concerned His Uc;n Simplified by tho Oignuizatlon of tin led etal Steel Cimpnny Goon Spell of Cold Weather Nicdcd ta Ewcj Up the Anthracite Coal Tip do Part of D. nnd H. Cnnal Will Be Kept Open Says a Trade Paper. "Since the old tcel rail combination broke up In February. 1SH7, there has been no ngrcement among the rail mills, and for the llrut time in a num ber uf years an open market hus exI.U ed," says the Engineering and Mining Journal. "Prices recovered nfter tho first heavy break, which followed the end of the combination and tor nearly a year past have ranged not far from MS a ton nt mill, which is $10 less thun the quotation which the associated companies maintained for over a year. The export business, which has grown to considerable proportions 229,783 tons In the year ending .Juno SO. 1S!3 has been done at much lower prices though It In always dlillcult and us ually Itniiosslble to get accurate fig ures on export orders. For somo tlmo past, however, negotiations have beeti In progtess fin- n new agreement, which would again unite the rail mills nnd do uway with competition in tho business. Though conducted very quietly, It Is understood that these negotiations have been successful, nnd that an agreement has been reached on gen eral terms and referred to a com mittee, which Is now arranging the details. The situation has been sim plified to some extent by the organiz ation of -the Federal Steel roinpatiy, which brought together some of tile elements which has previously opposed a new combination. "It Is understood that the new agree, mont provides for the control of tho rail business by a central agency, which would probably be organized as a. company and control all tho rail mills under some lease or contract. This agency will make all sales and apportion the work to the mills: It will, of course, regulate prices, and will also have charge of the export business. Some Increase on present quotations Is expected; but It Is said that the experience of the old com bination will serve as a warning, and no attempt will be made to secure such unreasonable rates as were then charged. The report has It that about $20 n ton nt mill will be tho price for lbVJ contracts. At present costs and selling prices of raw Iron and steel this Is too high for rails, which are almost the simplest form of fin ished materiul." "The export business which will doubtless be done at lower rates, has assumed considerable Importance In the trade, and promises to Increase. In the past few weeks we have noted In our market columns export sales amounting to nearly 100,000 tons; and contracts for 40,000 or 50,000 tons are under negotiation." "Tho hard coal trade Heeds a good spell of cold weather to bring any great Increase of business or better prices," says n trade Journal. "The companies, after carefully keeping production down all summer, when the demand was slight, now that win ter Is near have apparently nbandoned the idea of control altogether, and are mining a lot of coal to sell at any price they can get. The October production' was about 4,750,000 tons. Considering that last year, after pro duction hud been hampered by the strike, the October output was but about ii.OOO.OOu tons, the present out look Is not encouraging. "What the November output may be seems to be a matter of little Im portance. It is noteworthy that some of the roads that btoke down the mar ket last year, by piling on coal at cut prices, have apparently started after a tonnage record again, with profits a secondary consideration. To keep things carefully In hand by agree, incuts during the mouths when there Is no demand, and as soon as winter huylng Is in sight to drop agreements and cut prces Is certainly not good business policy, it demoralizes trade, makes dealers dissatisfied, and knocks out profits for pioducers. If there Is reason why concerns loaded down with coal !and that must make some sort of a showing to satisfy stockholders ami be bolstered up by Joint agree ments, tliuse agreements should lie kept. Knelt concern should stand on Its own merits, or else stand by its tin derslandlng with others. "Trade in the west continues active, with prices not showing much ini provemeiit yet. The scarcity of box cats Is felt more keenly. Chestnut coal is In veiy short .supply at Chicago and hard to obtain. Heceplts of coal at Duluth continue good, though not as heuvy as last month, as docks are about full. "In the east demand shows a trif ling Improviment. It Is now mt near winter that many consumers who de layed buying are afraid to wait much longer. Philadelphia buslnss Is report ed rainy good, nut at New York sellers await cold weather.

They will be of the latest design unil capable of hand ling twice us many cars as most of those now rmployed In that ue.'vlco. A trial tlp was made with coal trains between Palo Alio and Port Hlchmoud. nnd In bulb Instances tho locomotives (of the compound type) hauled CO loaded hoppers through to the falls of Schuylkill without assistance and made the run front Palo Alto to the latter place In nbout ten hours. This wns the greatest number of cars that have ever been hauled by a idnglo engine. A good deal has been said recently In the New York papers ubout tho "abandonment" of the Delaware nnd , Hudson canal, which has for so many 1 years been used to transport coal front Honesdalo to the Hudson river nt llon dntit. U does not appear, however, that the partial disuse of the old wat erway Is going to make very much difference to the Delaware nnd Hud- 1 son company or others. 1 Tho compnny has for n number of years sent a large part of the an thracite conl from Its mines to the market by railroad and a recent con- 1 tract under which Ihe charges for rail transportation have been reduced hus made the canal 'more costly than the railroad. For several years past the shipments by way of Uondnut have been gradually decreased until last year they were not over one-tenth of the company's coal production. Portions of the canal are dlillcult to maintain and these will be given up; though n considerable section of It will oe Kepi open to accommdnte quar ries and other industries along tho line.
