New York City is the ivonder city: of the fur world, and why not, with its seven million population and another ﬁve million residing in the metropolitan area and suburbs? 1.. it; surprising then, that. New York is today the largest fur consuming market in the world. and that more ﬂne fur skins are gathered. sold and worked fiito Iur apparel and consumed there than any- where else. From its environs about 80 per cent of the fur ap- parel distributed throughout the United States ls processed, design- ed and manufactured. i

—i— l

The fur industry of New York‘ occupies ten city blocks and eiii- ploys about 20.000 people regularly.

In nearby cities are numerous fac- .

tories engaged in the dressing and dyeing of fur skins for the New York trade. Tens of millions of skins. from the rare chinchilla to the promiscous rabbit, are proces- sed annually to 111i the require- ments of its 2.000 or more manu- facturcrs.

Into the. port of New York eacl year come shipments of foreign furs totalling in value over one hiuidred million dollars. Says the December Fur Trade Revieiv: “For ‘the next few months the furtradc. whether it be in the retail branch or in the manufacturing, will cen- tre its attention largely on four Duistandillg T1115.

Colors varied amazingly and ranch bred skins, when dress- cd. were often thin and weak in tho leather.

prices than accept the stale goods. Dark types were easier.

These sales are a pretty clear in- dication of’ the trend as regards silver fox for the coming season, but were somewhat offset by the Montreal sale o1 December 8th. where prices ot medium and low grades were not up to expectations. although the sale ﬁnished fiilrly strong. It must. be remembered. however. that the beginning of the Montreal sale coincided with the abdication—or rumored abdication —of King Edward VIII.

Now we have word of the Lon- don sales which commenced with the Ifudsoirs Bay Company offer- ing on Monday and Tuesday. Their sale was very successful from ev- ery point of view. 18.500 skins were offered, 91 per cent. being sold at an advance of '1 1-2 per cent, While no figures are available it is believed that fully 80 per cent of the offering consisted of Norweg- inn and Swedish skins. as the snlc is too early to contain more than ii small percentage of Canadian

l pelts.

Just here I may mention that the Norwegians have trade cartels with Germany and other countries by which they exchange silver fox furs for products of tltose coun- tries. 1t is believed that. their} poorer grade skins ﬁnd their way to Germany, Italy, Denmark and other European countries, while thel best ot their offerings are sent to London, ,with some to New York and Sran Francisco.

By placing their ﬁne skins on -tlic money markets they are get.-

ting a. reputation for high quality, which probably is no more desir- abie than Canada's. If we could use similar tactics there isnodoubt that our offering would receive the same high mede of praise as the Norwegians.

Canada this year has made a cartel arrangement with Germany. and nt the time I notedwhere It ivas expected that some silver fox could be sold there because of it. If some bright mind. or minds. could extend this trade cartel in co-operatlon with our Government, there might be an outlet found for our lower gcrndc skins also.
