Mr. McLure had a convcrsationl with a leading authority on silver fox there and he gave it as his opinion that the quantities on the world's markets this year would be considerably greater than last year, because, said he, Norway and Sweden will offer 400,000 pelts. United States and Canada will have quite as many as last sea- son, in fact there is s. probability that more pelts from these two countries will be marketed, not be- cause of a much greater pro- duction, but because so many silver fox ranchers are culling and cut- ting down their herds, due to s portion of them being non-pro- ductive of profit.
