While the prices realized would not anything like equal the cost of production yet it is gratifying to see quantit- ies of fox furs being sold.

Only change in the standard royfi pas- tel picture was a slight advance in the female. nrgn going from Tues- day's top of $25 to 825.50. Per- centage sold continued at around 98 per cent. Strength of the sale was apparently predicated on op- timism held in the trade about fall prospects. The large purchasers, it was felt. could not afford to be caught later in the season with in-‘ sufficient second stocks. Our com- ment on the above is that it shows not only a very optimistic feeling with regard to future demand for mink but it also evidences on the Part of the very astute buyers who iiandle these ciipensive skim in large quantities belief in the con- tinued Prosperity of the United States.

QUEBI-JC (CPI -~ Four Saskat- chewan doctors Monday described in a preliminary report some of the change: that occurred when I government 0 s p i t a 1 insurance plan went into effect in their prov- ince.

F. B. Roth. deputy minister nf health in Saskatchewan. who read the reprirt at the 42nd annual meeting of the Canadian Public Health Association. said that when the plan it-ent into effect in 1947, there were I56 hospital discharges per L000 of population. This rate increased to 200 per L000 and it remained at about that level since. The survey revealed that hospi- tal SPi'\’lL'PS are used inure widely by rural than urban residents. said Dr. Ruth.

He told the 500 delegates finm all parts of Canada that lesser revenues and isolation of rural dis- tricts we-re factors in the greater use of hospitals by rural residents. Other |li).\‘Sll)lF t-arises were hous- ing conditions. larger families, and younger physicians established in rural districts who might use the hospital more frequently than their seniors established in the cities. The report was prepared by Dr. M. S. Acker. Dr. M. I. Roemer, Dr, G. W. Myers and Dr. Roth.
