| A! these notes are written the year 1948 has been almost brought _to a close. Fox ranchers will not look back upon it with any pleas- ure we are sure, but even though prices Iiave steadily declined since the January auctions, yet there la a silver lining to be discerned in lthe dark clouds. It is that as far as we know there is no great carry- lcver of pelts from last year and | the. world take-off for this year will . not be nearly as great as last year, ‘even though the world's largest sil- ver fox ranch-Herbert A. Nieman 8: Co.. have pelted their breeders 'down from 12,500 pairs to 1.250 ‘pairs. Their production oi‘ pups which would ordinarily have been ‘around 40.000, was curtailed last Spring when they deliberately des- troyed 15.000 rather than go to the expense of rearing them to matur- lty.

i There ta evidence that the Nor- wegians have at Ias decided that they cannot. gn on producing great quantities of silver 1'02." cveu though they are making barter agreements favorable to them with European countries. They are large producers of blue foxes and blues, although admitted free of duty into the Uni- tori States, have only been realizing from $10 to $15 per pelt. The Nor- Wzians thought they liatl the ir-ridis fox market eornr-red with this type of fur, hut not so. it has a limited appeal and the quan- tities they produced were unlimited.

’l‘lirour<liout Canada there has TIPCIT a larize, yes, very large, out drmn in all ranches. Similarly in the United States the small ranches that were just adjuncts to farms or other activities, have gone out nf izusiness and only the strong stir- vve. The bright pnrt of the pic- turc is that in 1950 the world's pro- duction of silver fox and mutations uill probably not be greater than‘

130,000 pelts, whereas it totalled oicr a million pelts in 1939. So if we can hang on for a couple of years, kcepifll! our best foxes and inking good care of them. there is nvcry probability that. silver fox

Standard dark mink ranged from $15.00 to $21.00 for large and extra large sizes better quality lots. '

l Silverblu. large sizes, medium to lligiit colors. clear, better quality |lois, ranged from $18.00 to $25.00. iBfPillIl of Spring Silverblu reacti-

scenes of his early boyhood, was proving n mistake. A real proof of what Virginia West had so sens- ibly said to him-how Little one realises. when taking some step, what may come from it.

He had all unwittingly pushed himself into an affair which was no more to do wrlth him than was the Chateau Brissac, in these days. Further, if Caryl really meant what she liacl said. his wisest course was to back com- pletely eul. of the affair, just. as she was doing.

Yet that was easier said than done. He certainly couldn't leave Caryl in the lurch. with Yousef Hussein around. even if this was Landon and not the Chateau in France, He could only back out when he was sure of her entire safety. And that ought to follow automatically when he got in touclh with the person-presum- ably old Andrcw Fayne~uzho was using the news-agent's shop in Camden Town as his postal ad- dress.

If that person were Andrew Payne. he would have to come out of hiding and face the music. take over again his own property and responsibilities, completely freeing Caryl from all possible threats on the part o! Hussein. The first move was unquestionably, to drag Andrew Fayrne into the limelight so that. Hussein knew he was alive and promptly diverted his ven- detta to the person most deserving of it.

This line of thought led O'Hara

farming will be on a profit basis again.

1n our awn experience, “fIllCll ex- tends back to 1919 as a breeder of foxes, we have gone through two periods when a great many people thought the fox business was fin- ished. The fall o! 1920 was indeed a black one for in September of that year the United States gov- ernment placed a 50% tariff on all- ver fox pelts, and also a tariff on live foxes. The London market was not in a position to absorb many pelts and the result was a dis- estrous break in prices. in a few years London was back again as a buyer and the continent eager for foxes, and prices soared to as high as $1.250 for a skin in 1929. Again in 1930 another break occurred. It fcund the world with a tremend- ous over-production of fax pelts and a war on. In the Spring of 1940 we sold some 1,700 pelts for an average uf $15 apiece, ivhich was away be- low cost of production, but III a few years they were on the up-grade again with mutations, white-face and plntinums helping in the uplift.

The present experience may be a longer and harder one-we believe it will bC—b€CBUS2 the fashion world is showing a preference for shorter-haired furs, but this may he- only a temporary whim and long-haired furs, which are cer- tainly more flattering, will prob- ably come Into their own by 1950. That is the opinion of quite a num- ber of leading furriers in the Uni- ted States and elsewhere. So let us hang on to our best stock if we possibly can. and be prepared when good times come again to play our part in producing the finest silver fo.\' and mutations in the world, in the Garden of the Gulf.

Before presenting the results of the Canadian National Silver Pox Breeders‘ Association, whose mari- ager George A, Callback, attend- ed the sale, we would like to con- vey to our readers our earnest wishes for their happiness and stic- ccss in 1949 . . .
