During the past four years domestic rshbit b for fur and food increased 300 l?" cent according to reliable statistics released by the United States Gov- ernment. This increase in pro- duction is practically matched by t similar increase in Great Brt- sin where lome of the largest r - Mt farms in the world sre located.

The french government is in- terested mainly in export trade and will allow the import of furs any if some smpcrt attraction is in olved. This is the rmort of a London, lend. fur trade dele- gation ‘vhic visited France rec- ently to study French fur trade conditions.

What is going to happen to the world fur markets in the next few months and years? Is America go- ing to continue to be one of the world's fur marketing centres? Is there likely to be a big influx of foreign furs into this country to glut American markets and depress prices? Are there huge stocks of furs piled up in mrope waiting to be exported to the United States?

The following article by Reuben

I-npvrt published in Fur Trade R v;ew recently contains some ons and eidelights on the

alnvo questions which should be of interest to American fur farm- ers and traippers:

"With the end of the European war. need we fear the influx of huge shipments of furs from Europe to glut cur market and depress prices?

"There are merchants who be- lieve that during the ii l-2 years of war in Europe large stocks of furs have been accumulated. They believe. also. that for the most port these stocks have been sec- reted from the Germans: that even if the Germans appropriated these stocks only a negligible proportion was actually consumed, the Ger- mans or their allies having held these stocks intact so that they will eventually be avails/bis for oxport.

Some Indications

"Information on the fur invent- ories of Europe is unreliable or meaker. It seems true. however, that during the first two years of the war. with Hitler at the height of his success, Leipzig did a thriv- ing fur DLIJIDES. Leipzig, through ‘purchase’ or ‘exchange’ collected furs from most of the continent. processed or manufactured them end then re-sold to the ooh-tin- ent and perhaps within Germany itself. The continent, cut off from American, Canadian and other sources of furs, could consume a much larger proportion of its own fur production. It ls unlikely. therefore. that in the first two years. there could have been any argeaccumulatlons of fur stocks.

“With the beginning of Hitler's decline. manpower became Ger- manys crying need. Hitler‘ de- nuded the continent and his own country of all available manpower ~and manpower is essential to fur trapping and farming. With Hitler desperate to maintain his armies. his factories and farms. it is improbable that many men would have remained to trap or fnrm furs. Without trapping and without feed for fur farms. tlze animals were left to roam or o

"For example, prior to the wsr.

Nfirwvry ‘had ldgveltoped a great river ox n usry. pmduc

about 400.000 silver foxes. TEL: industry has now almost com-

letely vanished through continued ack of feed and lack of attention. Even in neutral Sweden, it is re- liably reported that fur production ls 50 per cent lower than in 1039. In peacetime. Sweden had about 5,000 fur farms, and today there, are about 2,500; in peacetime Sweden produced about 120,000 silver foxes and today produces about 60.000. This great reduc- tion has been caused principally by shortage of feed. If this stua- tlon is true of a neutral country, It would be especially true of coun- tries ravaged bv war or wer-run by the Nazis.

Situation In Irmoo

"Europe was fighting to free it- self - and was hungry or starv- ing. Of what value is a fur to n hungry family? The people of Europe were busy fighting and tieeperatsly seeking food. Franco m: comparative fortunate with ‘we domestic or ems rabbit 1n-

of furs from Europe tend to de- press prices? The most direct answer would be to recall that in pro-war times those exports were marketed here without fear that an oversupply would be created. Moreover. with the economic res- toration of Europe, we hope to re- vive exports of American furs to Europe which. in the past, was a large consumer of such American staples as opossum and slrainlt. two articles which at present over- hang and depress the general market. Although the immediate pro-war years showed a lower vol- ume, in the five years l92d-l93tl our fur smarts averaged about $31,000,000 annually.

"Practically all of the Russian and Afghan crops of furs are now exported to this country. When Europe's economy has been re- stored and its people again r0103’ more normal standards of living. lumps will again compete with America for Russian and Afghan furs. and become, as well. con- sumers of its own fur production.
