Here's something new-the Mon- treal Fur sales (Canada) Ltd. whose special sale of mink and sil- ver fox was scheduled for Friday, January 26th, indefinitely post- poned it and will sell by private lrcaty. The reason given is that owing to private sales having sharply reduced the quantities of

which took six years to develop, was offered at auction late last week by Lampson. Fraser and

mink show held in the fox show building Charlottetown, Nov. 22-24,

insted this type. The mink had died a couple of weeks before and was proudly shown by Mr Mayers and greatly admired by all pres- ent. It was an intense blue with a silvery sparkle-certainly a. mag- nificent type of fur. Mr. Mayors said that if anyone was anxious to buy a male of the species he thought he could arrange a sale by Mr. Moore for 810,000, but he did not think he would be anxious to sell even at that price as he wanted to build up a herd. O O O

On hiday, January ztlth he had '19 of these mink in bundles and the greatest interest was displayed in them. The 79 skins brought a high of 3350.. and a total of 521,- 000. They were purchased by Barn- ey Wollman of New York and he stated that he would make them up in a full length cost. No doubt the retail price of the coat will be somewhere in the vicinity of 040.- 0(1). The price was a record for mink, but La.mpson's in reporting the sale said they fully deserved to make the record as they con- sidered them the loveliest mink sale 7,985
