' “What about the general fur sit- uation in New York, Mr. Forbes?“ “It is good." said he. “Stocks are ! low and dealers feel bright and I cheerful because of the active mar- ket. The recent silver fox sale there i was very successful. eighty per cent l of the offerings being sold at from l ten to fifteen per cent advance. or course the emphasis was on full silvers, but as tiley are becoming i scarcer. more attention is being paid to three-quarters and halves. I sincerely believe that our Amer- ican friends will be buyers of 11. large number of pelts in Europe. In fact they have already been in that market as good customers and have had quite a lot to do with strellgtli- ening prices because of relieving us of a. part of our supply. One sllip- ment of 5,000 Norwegian pelts wns made to a large New York concern with branches throughout the coun- ll‘.V and they promptly advertised those to the trade as of that origin."

It may be interesting for fox ranch- ers to know that W. T. Chapman ‘dc Son received over $100.00 for a sil- ver fox pelt auctioned at Montreal April 22nd. This was the highest price for a ranch raised fox sold that day. chapmans are large users of Silver Tip Fox Feeds and our polls are always well up in tiiesales.

“What about stock of fine furs in Loncioil? “They are low." said he. “There has been such keen demand for mink, marten and other fine furs, all at nCl\'illlClIlg prices. that the market is pretty bare and this will help your product because the dealers Wlll switch to fox."

“Private treaty sales have been much in vogue since the March sale. when of the 80.000 pelts over onl_v forfl’-two’ per cent, were sold. or course this could not be blamed on the trade; it wils because of the tense International situation that d9"€l0l>€d which threw fmr into’ Peoples‘ minds and they preferred to wait rather than rush in and buy at the market. All the auction houses have been doing it brig}; trade with private sales and the result will be evident when listings ‘"9 Dllbllshed for the June silver fox sales. I do not believe that the offerings then will be ycry much greater than one-ltalf of what we saw in March."

"What ‘WIS your impression of Canadian furs this year? “As :1 general rule." he replied. "they were not so good as other _Vi".'ll‘SJ too much flat. off-colors-cl stuff iimi not enough specimeils. You know_ can- iidian foxes have been so highly thought of and invariably so good that it was quite a shock to find the quality had token is dip. But I tindc-rstnild your wcatller conditions were the worst for many years and climate. we all know, plays a very important part in the production of goorl pelts. On the other hand the Norwegian season came in clear and cold at an early date and con.

outstanding skins, but no doubt there were a lot of poorer grades that did not reach the Iaondoil markets. ,This season the climatic conditions may be reversed or if I not they may be equaiszed and if so i I look to see Canadian furs quite as I highly spoken of as in other year ." ; “Do you think we should endeavor to compete with the Norwegians on ‘the December sales?" “I do not.“ said Mr. Fbrbes. "Their season is a month earlier than yours, and in addition their location gives them‘ an advantage. being almost 3. week =nea.rer the London in “ than iyou are. I would strongly advise l Canadian fox ranchers to pass up . the December sales and concentrate on the January and spring sales.”

_‘ "How about honle consumption of silver fox furs, Mr. Forbes? When . I was there some years ago there 4 was very little demand. but I under. ‘ stand that now almost all retailers nre featuring silver fox in London and the provinces and this will cause the absorption of many thou- sands of pelts that other years . would have to be distributed to the j continent." "That is true," he said. . "Everywhere you look you see silver 1 fox, good. bad and indiiierent. soci- I

ety people are using two and three piece skin effects and capes are

| coming in. I cilnnot see any signs

i on the horizon to change my optim- ism towards your commodity. In fact I belim-e all present supplies

I will be easily cleaned up before any of this season's skins are available. Firm prices and a good demand are wllut I predict. for June."

From here Ml‘. Forbes will make It tour of Cailnrin and the United States, visiting all the principal fur centres and reiicwing his acquain. tlince with representatives and milk. ing new coilncctions. He will return to the Droviilcc on or about the first week in November. at the date of our annual fox show. which he viewed with pleasure last year and has the happiest memories of, par- ticulnrly the banqlict.

The most, outstanding authorities in fur beiirlng iiillmal diseases are of accord in stating that an lidequ- ate snuitlltion program on the ranch will ward oii‘ many diseases. Malnutrition and consequent stun- ted foxcs urn oftcll the results of acnemill because of fleas or car- mitcs and more DaI‘UClllfll‘ly hook- worm.

An editorial in the May American Fur Breeder says regarding freak fox color phases. "Considerable publicity abroad and in this country has been given to three “platitllim" I fox pt-its produced ill Norway and 1 raid at a sale in Oslo. One skin hi-ought 3107.50 and the other two $8250 each. The skins created a mild sensation among the fur buy- ers.

Platinum and blue silver foxes are rather an old story in this country. The writer saw his first platinum silver skin about twelve years ago.
