Jewelry Trade Looking up in the
East American Experts Going
Abroad to Buy Gems Kimberly
Mines Still Shut Down.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-A revival
in the jewelry trade has. begun the
dealers say. It has been a subject of
comment among the men in this bu
siness that they are the first to feel a
depression and about the last to get
a benefit of prosperity when it returns,
Ludwig Nissen one of the oldest of
the dealers ;r. precious stones, says
that fo 8 months the wholesale deal
ers practically sold nothing, but with
in a short time the retail dealers had
started to make purchases to replen
ish stock that in many cases had been
reduced to -.i minimum because of the
caution and timidity that have prevail
ed. Mr. Nissen returned several days
ago from Europe, where he went es
pecially to investigate the condition
of the diamond and pearl markets, He
thinks there will be no change in the
official price of diamonds, unless it
is advanced after the return of normal
conditions,
significant of the turn in affairs is
furnished by the presence in Ant
werp and Amsterdam, the principal
European diamond manufacturing
centers, of American buyers, who had
not been there for months. While Mr.
Nissen was abroad cable messages
were sent to Kimberley, South Afri
ca, giving notice that American buy
ers were again visiting the European
cities to ifiark the rejoicing of the
people. The Kimberley mines are
still shut down, but are expected to
reopen when the depression passes
away, '
NEW YORK TURF.
To Be Maintained At Even Better And
Higher Standards.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. The Em
pire handicap in its first running as
a $15,0110 guaranteed race and the fea
tures of the week's racing at the Em

place with the long established and
famous open events of the New York

Yonkers meeting.
From all promises the race the big
prize will produce, will justify in full
the prominence that the first running
of the Empire City as a great handi
cap has been achieved. The very best
horses in training in America are in
cluded in the seventy three horses
that were handicapped, for the big
fixture which will be run on Saturday.
The most conspicuous entry from
any one stable, is that of James R.
Keene, with Colin, Celt, and Baltic,
all named and weighted high, but of
the three the top weight of the han
dicap, with. 131 pounds is the only
one intended for the race, Colin still
being on the shelf at Sheepshead Bay,
while Celt resumed training after a
let up too recently to leave any hope
of his being fit to race so soon.
Others of the notable horses that
are in the Empire City in waiting for
the $5000 are Jack Atkin, Charles Ed
ward, Frank Gill, Dr. Gardner, Mc
Carter, Hessian, Tileing and Master
Robert, Still left from Saratoga are
Dandelion, King James, and Fairplay.
and from these a field might be pick
ed that would outrank the best of the
season, entirely aside from the po'
sibility of the lighter weights of the
race.
