A collection of approximately 40,000 dressed EMBA Autunm Haze mink was 90 per cent said yesterday at prices unchanged to 5 per cent higher, compared to February. A jammed New York Auction Co. salesroom sent males 5 per cent above previous levels while females remained very steady.

A seasonal high for the pastel shade was set for males when Evans Fur Co., Chicago, paid 389 for a lot shipped by Sheldon H. Fisher, Columbia Station, 0. Females, from the same shipper, went for 335.

The auction firm hoped to com- plete the Stewart Autumn Haze section late last night. The sale resumes at 9 a.m. today.

The salesroom yesterday re- flected the aharp interest in pastel mink. One buyer held his head in Jest and qulpped: "EMBA should have kept the Royal pastel name: I like pastel prices better than these Autumn Haze prices."

lant school in the early days of llhe fox industry. and taught young men and women all that was was known about the fox indus- try to date in one twelve-month course. it had a large fox ranch connected with it for practical demonstrations. Some of the foxes on this ranch were purchased from the Indians in the Peace River country by the late James Kane, who was one of the real old timers of the industry. The insti- tute also ran a fox scoring system under the direction of the late George Brackett, who also pub- lished a fox magazine. This work necessitated sending inspectors all over the United States and Can-

on the point system. in 1929 the stock market crash arrived and the School was closed down. At that time Milligan and Mor- rison of Northam. P. E. 1., were hig operators, not only in Canada but throughout the United States as well. Edgar Milligan was om- of the old timers in the P.
