A cautiously optimistic view of the raw fur market, particularly in the coming whiter is taken by Arthur C. Prentice, general mana- izer 0f the Canadian Fur Auction Sales Company (Quebec) litd, ln a. market letter Just issued... “Dur. ing the past two months there has been considerable activity in ‘the fur markets, with the result that supplies of most “wanted furs such as wild min-k mutation miink, ranch mink, beaver, muskrat, cr- inlne. etc. are neither greatly da- pleied or very limited. Actually the inventory. position of the trade is much more favorable than anyone had reason to believe it would be a few months ago, consequently the concensus of opinion among deal- ers and manufacturers would in- dicate an active demand for fresh merchandise at the opening of the new season.

"While there has been some im- provement in retail fur sales both in Canada and the United States, the retailers themselves are hesitant to discontinue their policy of restricted purchases based upon actual VOIlJme of sales. The reoc- currance of labor unrest in the coal and steel industries does not enhance the possibilities of ln- creased consumer purchasing pow- er, hence ihe retailers find no particular reason at the moment to go along with the more optimistic attitude of the raw fur tréde. We do believe, however, that. with the approach of colder- weather, and provided current labor difficulties are disposed of before causing ser- ious harm to economy. that there is every possibility of ii steady de- mand for fur apparel this coming season." _

Fox furs are still an unpopular article in U. S. A. and European countries are unable to finance their requirements. Extensive pro- motional work on fox fur is being carried out in U. S. A. and some predict that the American tnde may soon be using fox in larger quantity.
