I do not claim: the ability to read the future any more- than any other man who makes a study of conditions in his particular line, but it lwer ked foes sin ment as to the possibilities of Silver For farmfwor the next ilve years, my conscientious opin- ion would he, that we are in for a period of greatly increased prosperity and better prices for Sliver For furs than we have seen during the past two or three years.

Anyone who has studied the fox industry the last twenty years must know that Europe has been the great out-let for Silver Fox lure, and that all the world's records for pelts (which by the way have been captured by Prince Edward island raised fox pelts) were made at the grcat London auctions. Th se pelts found their way to Austria, Russia, Germany, and France. From 1914 to 1920 these countries have been practically out of the market. Now Gerniany, Russia, Austria and France are again active in their emand for Silver Fox i'urs. The Germans were tho largest bu rs at the January Lampoon's sale, sending the price of good skins up 50% above the previous auction sales figures. Germany also was the largest buyer at the Danish eale held a month later.

The ship is being built in com- pliance wath la subsidy contract entered into between Mr. William Fraser and the government of the y Dominion oi Canada. under which the contractor lg entitled to sub- sidy of $50,000, payable annually for ten years commencing with the opening of navigation in I924. Pay- ments nnder this subsidy will ex- tend beyond the longest maturity of the bonds. All payments under the subsidy are to be assigned to the company, and by the company to the trustee, and the trust deed will Provide that from these moneys the trustee will ill each year pay the amount of the interest and principal payable in that year. Based on earnings froni opera- tion of the existing steamship ser- vice between Pictou slid the Magdalen slands for the years 1922 and 1923 with subsidies at $20,000 and $24,000 respectively-—- i draw the lniuister}, attention to the iiiict that last yeur the minister evidently considered the service too good nlld had the subsidy reduced from $29,000 to $24,000. Evideniy there was a different contractor then. it goes on:

—it i3 estimated that the com- pany's uununl earnings will he not less than 830.000, available for in- tcrcst and serial maturities of tilese builds which lg at the rate of over three times the largest illil cunt oi’ interest payable iu any year and approximately one and twu fifths tiulcsl the largest nluouut required in any your to pay in- terest on serial maturities. This estimate il-i arrived at without mak- illg any allowance for the very sub- stantial increase in revenue which is expected cunsequcilt upon the

ears.

Sir HENRY DRAYTON: Yes. Has my hon. friend any more ten- year contracts? Or is there any contract for any length of time for these short routes.

Mr. LOW: We will look it up. Sir HENRY DRAYTON: Did the minister have any precedent be- fore him when he saw himself Biknlng that ten year contract! I am just asking for information. I do not know what is being done. I have never been in that depart- lllent, but if that is the practice I think we should know about it.

Mr. LOW: When calling for ten- ders the contractor is asked to slate the minimum number of years for which he will accept the contract. Both thesecontracts are for ten years to provide the ser- vice required.

Sir HENRY DRAYTON: So that we have ten years suggested by the contractor. I-iow many years did the man who got the $24,000 contract want’!

Mr. LOW: One year, for this ser-

n t_ the trouble. The local papers said that there was no advertise- ment nt all for tenders. I think we should set that rumour right.

This la good news for the fox rancher. as it means a broad er market and steadily increasing demand during the next few - years. 'I‘he United Slates is also demanding great nunrhere or Silver Fox furs. Thus market conditions are being created which will take care oi all the Silver Fox furs that can be-pro- duced, at prices that will yield a profit ten times greater than any other farming proposition one can engage in.

If you intend to take advantage of this condition you would ho wins tn our: ruur ranch this fall and make your ' " arrangements at once
