Capetown, South Africa, Feb, 13,4+~ The ministerial organ says the gov- ernment has under contemplation a measure whereby it would be em- powered to assume control of the diamond trade, allotting quotas of production to the various producers, imposing minimum prices, and ap- pointing a board to buy and sell dla- monds or act as agents. The board, under the bill, may also compel any producer to supply it, and then sell on' the producers's behalf at a reasonable price, less commission. The government may prohibit the exportation of diamonds except with the board's consent.

London, Feb. 13.—The dearth of wool supplies here is serious, and the difficulty was increased yester- day by recelpt of a telegram from the national council of wool brokers in Melbourne to the London Wool Merchants’ assoclation, saying it had been decided to reduce the offerings 150 per cent from February 23. The Daily Mail quotes a leading London dealer as saying that British manufacturers are unable to pay the high prices demanded, and that at the January sales there was what amounted to a buyers' strike. The manufacturers now are working on diminishing stocks, and when these are exhausted must pay whatever the growers demand. Prices in 1924 steadily increased, the advance varying from 35 to 57 per cent. An Auetrallan clip of 2,- 000,000 bales fetched before the war £26,000,000. The growers expect to obtain nearly £70,000,000 in 1925, NEW BRITA™ GIRL §COUT NEWS The leaders held their regular meeting Monday at 7:30 p, m, at Scout headquarters with a good at- tendance, Miss Shaw gave Instruc- tion In first class work, Mrs, Sprague, commissioner, gave a talk on froop management and also laid plans for the Hartford County Scout Group, which is to meet in | May.
