The fl-Vg day general sale ot furs of the Canadian Fur Auction Bales Company tQuebec) Ltd. opens next Monday May 9th. Th; first three days will be devoted to the sale of furs such as beaver. otter, lod for, blu. four. white fox, musk-rat. ermine, skunk, timber wolf, etc, also wild mink, ranch mink in- cluding mutations. On the after- noon of the third day 3,000 white linﬁlill6d fox and 3.000 standard silver fox will be offered. The fol- lowing day 6,500 platins fox and 3.500 silver fox and on May 13th the concluding day oi the sale 8,- 500 platinum fox, 2500 white marked fox and 3,500 standard silver fox. It is to be hoped that this ssh, wlll show s good de- nuarld for both lunch mink and silver fox and their mutations as there will only he om other sale -t.hat at June - prlor to the September sales.

W9 understand ca goof cutb- ou-lty that iiilCfe is about $0.01.; silver fox and mutations sllll un- sold in Canada aLs compared with approximately 250,000 a you; ago. It would indeed be a. grand ming if we could clean up that I "n0 before the close of the year o one can give any reasonable i-lea, as to the quantity of silver fox| and mutations held ln the United States. The offerings at auction have been comparatively small so there must be a large quantity in oold storage, probably exceeding 100,000. The production of silver fox both in the United States and Canada this season will not be over 150,000 pelts which would be a mere begatelle in the years pre- ceding the late war, so build up a hit of demand and n swing to- wards long-haired furs. then Sll- vel- fox and its mutations could make a qulok comeback.

Buyers compEtled vigorously for ranch mink at Lampson, Fraser 8c Ruth's sale in New York last week. Resulting prices went some what higher than the market and many said up oo U19 levels or three or four months ago. The company reported prices equal to February. Flerniale skins were in much demand. Reports are that manufacturers enjoyed fairly good success on small furs the past two months but they wished to con- tinue adequate supplies of mer- chandise in capes, stcles, jackets and thq ll-ke in which female skins are used.

LJ, mo; who was the greatest promoter of the sale o! silver foxes in the world and who really mad; the platinum fox so popular ln lne United States, died l! i?! years ago but; his sons are carry- lng on and keeping the mm; well to m; front. In a recent generous ad play in the New York papers. alloy featured the sale of Jackets and capes of silver fox and muta- tions commencing st 0118.00. Head-

lines read — “last week a sell- cutl New purchases for this woeki" Offerings included plat»-

lnum fox, silver fox, blue fox, mtarmot capes and various others. Another firm, Russeks, in a two column ad feature; platinum fox jackets at i300.

In the window of the 38161114 Furriers, Ltd. of this city is a beautiful platinum cape which the manager, Mr. Hogan, bought re- cently at a manufacturer's fur show ln Toronto. We are glad t0 make mention o! this ﬁrm that annually handles several hundred local pelts, makes them up beau- tifully and sells thorn, mostly to tourists. We would certainly like to see their business grow to sev- eral tlmes the volume lt now en- joys as it would be a good outlet for ranchers.

Continuing our story of Vol. l Record Book of the Silver Black Fox Breeders’ Association of Prince Edward Island, we find the Tig- nish Silver Black Fox Company. J.A. l-lackett, Tignlsh, selling fox-es to lvLF. Stevens of Dover, lvisx-ne. These are of Dsltnn-Hackett and Dalton-Rayner breeding. Next we come to the McNeill, Allcn dz Saunders ranch that started oper- ations in the fall of 1910 at Sum- merslde with foxes pu-ralullsed from Henry Lewis. Allberlon, and J5. Gordon, Nlontrose. Ln Will they Idl=d more foxes bred hy RT. Oulton. Little Shcmcgue, N.B. and J.S. Gordian, Montmse. In 1913 their ranch was enlarged by the addition of the progeny of the above foxes and it became one of the best of the many ranches in the Surnmeralde area. The good uu-allty gtock that they had sel- ected for foundation served them well ln later years and we well re- member seeing their foxes in the fall of 1919 and admiring lihem.

Males i500. are bringing good prices where sold. The first sec- Llon which consisted of 0&1 mlnk pelts from the Great Lakes Mink_ Association, had a top price of $20. for extra dark and dark males with 50% sold. The second sec- tloll of the same Association's pelts numbering over 5.000. saw half- bloods reach a top of $26. for clear nlales, 65% sold. The third sec- tion consisting of 6,500 pelts, odd lots and law grades. llad a top price 0i $l4.'7‘5 with 40% sold. Sec- tion four other strippers whose pelts numbered nearly 30.000, had a top of 2'23. for extra dark and dark males with 60% sold.

The concluding part qr the bwq days sale showed section one of miscellaneous shippers. 29.000 mink with a top price of $23. for extra dark and dark males wltlh 60% sold. Section two other shippers. 22,750 pelts, half-bloods reached a top of $27. with 61% sold. Section three, other shippers. 25,001 pelts, odd lots bmugiht $13.50, top price, 40% sold and section four other shippers, 13,000 pelts low grades had ls top price of $11.50 with 90% sold. T1143 following day 20.000 wild ed. Thus

in the three days over

approximately 602". sold.

Women's Wear Daily, comment- lnz ulxm this 581a said . . . "While more sales are being made this week than were made earlier this month, another factor is giving many ln the market basis of hope for much better volume ln the near future. This ls the fact that ﬁlmy more manufacturers are ﬂocking‘ at skins now than 1n s

mlnk were offered and well recelv- '

The company was pmspefmlls un- tll the late 1920b. They, with many others, closed out.

Other names we noticed among the owners ls w.A.0. Moi-son of Charlottetown. who will be re- ltlttnlbered as a successful la/wyer and he was also successful with foxes although not in them on a 1811M scale. The Patricia Fox Company, Summerslde. started operations in 1913. Most of their stock was purchased from Mc- Nelll, Allen d: Saunders. also the Smthern-Connlauizht Silver Black Fox Company. Surnmerslde. They, too. had stock bought Bum Mc- Neill, Allen dz Saunders starting their ranch in 1916.
