Mulhern's suggestion to fix the Canadian quota on the average of pelts shipped into this country dur- ing the past five years a sound one.

so long as these three elements are strongly in force and fickle Dame Fashion continues to smile on us. mink prices should continue

At a meeting of the Midwest Fur Producers Association held in Min- neapolis, Minn. last week they were told that the gross sales of their organization a m o u n t e d to one
of more than 5250.000 over the re- cord of the previous year. More than S1.500.000 -of these sales were made through New York auction companies and two-thirds of the pelts were mutation mink. Dr. Kinley T. Orr. secretary. stated that dark mink production has con- tinued to decrease and is not ex- pected to amount to more than 15 per cent of all mink produced. He added that pastel and sapphire mink will continue to be most pop- ular in demand. it is expected that jackets. stoles and other small pieces will continue to be popular with expected increased interest in full coats also.
