The following received from the London Bureau of Wfiimeufs Wear, Daily, N. ‘I. Will be tierceting in view of the efforts Facing made to rlumge the system of marketing hitherto in vogue in the London auctions:

LONDON.—'l:lic Committee at one London Public Fur sales has had its first discussion on the question of limiting quantities of silver for Ikins offered in Iondon auctions. but it seems it is not going to be rushed into immediate decisions which may have 9. more profound effect on silver fox prices than at nm sight a are. The com- mittee has ad its talks to n week or so, and Ehflllilh the meet- mg was privately held and noth- ing official was given. out after- ward, it is understood that no steps have yet been taken toward forming a committee to apportion uggested by

Market opinion here is inclined to the view that something might to be done about limitzinsr the tre- mcndous nuantities of silver fox pelts that are put on e market at the height of the se sea.- son. especially in the January and March auctions. The tendency of recent season; has been for prices to open high as buyers rush to Scandinavia and subsequently tb London for the first of the new merchandise. Then when the MC catalogs come on offer in Jhnlmfy. there is usually a. sharp rice rc- cession as buyers are u e to ab- sorb the large quantities available.

Live stock markets during the current session uncovered some of the but conditions experienced in some time. Cattle rlces without exception were showing more firm- ness and advances in killing class- es were marked up at Toronto and Winnipeg especially. Calves were as a rule firm sellers, while hog and lamb prices gained substan- tially at all major markets.

EASTERN CATTLE MARKETS

KiL.ll.ng cattle of good quality ad- vanced l0 to 15c. at ’1;0h.ON’l0 on an active market. The supply of some 5,800 head was well taken care of, with Just around 300 ill- bred. thin. cattle remaining unsold. Good weigihty steers made up to $6.50, with 8. few bringing us nigh as $6.75 and five head making an extreme top of $7. Butcher steers and heifers of good quality sold be- tween $6.% and $6.50. MONTREAL was steady, with good steers gen- erally at $650’ to $6.75. and tops reaching $7.

WESTERN CATTLE MARKETS

Moderate runs and an active trade allowed of a fair cleanup at WINNIPEG. Good ed butch- er cattle were scarce, and firm in price, but grass steers closed with a slightly easier tone. Cows and heifers, however, were in good de- mand and up 15c. to 253. at the close. A few dry-fed steers sold at $6.50 to $7, while grassers were making from $5.75 to $6, with an odd $6.25. "Photo was a broad out- let for good feeder cattle, with good kinds taken at $4.75 to $5.25 and an odd top load up M $5.50. CAL- GARY was mostly steady, with good butcher steers moving out at $5 to $5.50. EDMONTON also showed improved action and firm prices. with the top on grass steers at $5.50. Elsewhere. trading was active and any change in price was in an upward direction, with top PRINCE

ALBER 60 at SASiI{A’I‘OON, . REG INA, and $5.50 at V COUVER.

U. S. MARKET ABOUT STEADY

The number of Canadian cattle sold at Buffalo was much below that of recent weeks. One load of weighty steers brought the high for the week of $8.35. but most sales were between $7.40 and $13. with butcher steers and heifers generaily between $7.25 and $7.50. and one lot. at $6.75. Odd sales of Canadian calves were reported at $7 for lightweights and up to $11. 50 for choice. Latest quotations from St. Paul on heavy Canadian bulls were from $5.75 to $6.25. and feeding steers from $6.75 to $7.50. Ehrports to the United States ‘during the week totalled 3.023 beef cattle, 389 dairy. and 2.000 calves. Exports of beef cattle from Judy 1st to August 17th inclusiye. under the third quarterly quota, were 37,492 head. shipments frown January 1st to August 17th inclusive totalled 125.849 beef cattle. 7.974 dairy. and 66,639 calves, compared with 31.272 beet. 6.610 dairy and 34.013 calves in the same period of 1938.

Latest figures issued by the United States Treasury Depart- ment show imports of heavy Can- adian cattle from July 1st to Au- gust 5th inclusive totalling 29.630 head, representing 57.3 r cent of the third quarterly quo a. Imports of calves from January 1st to Au- gust 12th inclusive form all count- ries were 94,135. or 94.1 for cent of the quota for the calm or year 19 39. Up to Thursday, August 17th. no action had been taken by United States aut'horities to collect higher rate duty on calves.
