Robert Fraser, President of Lampson, Fraser 8r Huth, Inc, New York City, and brother of the late Alfred Fraser, well known locally, will be missing at this year's silver fox show and banquet, as he ls at present in Alaska making arrange- ments for consignments of blue foxes and mink to hi; flrm,

Tom Fraser, son of the late Ai- frcd Fraser, is being welcomed by fox ranchers throughout the Marl- | times on his annual visit. He will remain on the Island until after the Charlottetown fox show, Nov- ember 16-20. 1n conversation with the writer he said that a few days ago he received a cable from C.M. Lampson 8a C0,, London, stating that upwards of 1500 silver 10x pelts had been sold by private treaty to French and London buy- ers and that. there was consider- able improvement in the outlook for pelts in Paris.

Cables from Landon on Wednes- day stated that the French were delighted with the result of the el- ections in the United States, the expectation being that it would result in a still better accord fin- ancially between that country, the United States and Great Britain. and therefore be a flllip for trade This is the best news for a long time because France, particularly Paris, is our standby for popularity _ of silver fox.

Discussing the silver fox sittial- ion with a; gentleman who has been in touch with a great many buy- ers throughout the United States and Canada, he stated that the United States has many ihotisands of low grade and medium pelts in the hands of dealers and RIICIIOII dtottscs. The reason given is that the prices were a little high inlhc first place and Madamls fancy has switched from silver fox as a

V trimming for coats to Persian lamb - and other furs. ; fact there is nothing very bcatiti- . ful or adorning in a poor grade. ‘ off-colored

As a matter of

silvcr fox and the writct" has often wondered why they were absorbed at such com- paratively good prices compared 3 iritlt better grades. Now it. seems that thc name “Silver Fox" will not sell them. Thcy will probably be utilized in Denmark, some in Gor- many and in Suuth American countries by 1"» IJSiILIIORIS womcn, but at a lowci- pricc.

Talking over furs in general with I Ml‘. Toni Fraser, I asked illlll if there were any chinchilla skins available in New York-not that I I wanted to buy any. He said hc did ‘l not know of any. that vcry few‘, had through from South; American countries for years. He

also told mc something very inier- I l l l l l

COITIE

csting that I did not know before and it was that thc habitat of true chinchilla is the highest Infitllllllllli ‘ of the Andes in Pcrn and Bolivia and that a sudden transition from, such altitudes to sea. level would‘ result in cicntli.

“There was a Californian who. solved the problem some years ago." said Mr. Fraser. “He trans- portcd the animals by easy stages of 500 miles from the very high altitudes of the Andes to compar- at-lvcly medium heights of the mountains of California. I have not heard how his venture has turned out recently, but at the time he started farming them it urns be- lieved that he would make a suc- cess."

Mr. Fraser believes-as we'all do now-that we made a great ‘mis- take in not going in for mink farming in earnest. He has lately visited large ranches in Vermont where they are raising a very fine line of dark, close-tuned mink. The practice of the best breeders there has been to buy dark mink for breeding stock, then when they have developed them into quantit- lcs after some years, to rigidly cull and select the closest furred, best quality ones for breeding purposes. The improvement that some of the ranchers have made there in the past three years is really remark- able. he said. It is not uncommon to and large producing ranches av- eraging $19 per skin last. year. With the higher prices prevailing this season the same qualities should average 822.

Mink can be raised much cheap- cr than silver fox. Food costs should not be over one cent per day and only It comparatively small space is required. He told me of a rancher that showed great ingenuity in building his mink pens, which are cylindrical, a0 constructed that‘ a water system

Charlottetown will have the hon- or of being the meeting place of the Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders‘ Association. The annual meeting of that body will be hcld early in January. the headquarters being the Canadian National Hotel. Last year the annual mcctlng was hcld in Moticton and the previous year in Saskatoon. Directors will attend from every provinccln Can- aria.

In recent years the price of bea- ver skins have hecn down to a low level, but the new method of pro- ccssing the skins will make it; both popular with manufacturers and retailers. The sheared beaver sports coat falls within the popu- lar price range.- and its bcattty and graceful style ltavc made it a. de- sirable garment with the added new qualities of much lighter weight and a full measure of ivcziring quality.
