Ranch and wild mink were un-

Chflflfzed from September while muskrat and beaver were sold at prices i5 per cent. lower than last month as Lampson, Frser d: Hutih, Inc, commenced a general sale yesterday. Good interest. iii the ranch mink produced a 70 per cent sale, while 50 per cent of the wilds were tak- en. Interest was not high for the beaver, rat, ermine, and toter of- ferings.

Lampsons report follows: Muskrat (162,709), 20 per cent sold, top $2.55 for New York; de- clined 111 average 15 per cent from September.

Beaver (2,515), 20 per cent sold, top $30 for Ontario blankets. An

under average collection, off 15 p81‘ cent. Ermine (12.3.30), mostily unsold.

Otter (1,854), 40 per cent sold, top $21 for Moose Rivers XL and L. An under average collection, slightly easier.

Wild mink (2,715). 50 per cent sold, tap $22 for Minnesota XL and I. End of season collection, uri- changed.

Ranch mink (8,514), 70 per cent sold, top $30 for extra dark and dark, males. End of season collec- tion, unchanged.

Royal pastels (737), 90 per cent sold, top $30 for medium and light medium, slightly off color. End of season collection, sold well.

Mutation mink sold at unchang- ed prices from September.

White mink- (490), 85 per cent sold, $23 top, clear whites very strong, Silverblu, dressed (3199), 70 per cent. sold, top $36 for Breath of Spring, $27.50 for sil- verblu, unchanged. Royal koh- i-riur, dressed (1993), 53 per cent sold, unchanged, $11.25 tap for blue Royal koh-i-nur, $10.50 for Royal koh-i-nur. Royal koh-i- nur, raw (B22), 40 per cent sold. changed.

Stone marten (655), 50 per cent sold, unchanged, top $42; Baum marten (412), 60 per cent sold, slightly stronger, top $27. White fox and blue fox, mostly withdrawn, also raccoon and wild- cat. Color and silver phase fax (1641), 30 per cent sold, slightly easier, $19 top. .

According to Ed Stanton, sn authority on the suibiect, writing in Women's Wear Daily last week, the new crop of wild and ranch- mink is expected to open at higher prices than a year ago, with most trade estimates quoting wildnnink

higher and ranch mink bout 15 to 20 per cent up. These are the only raw furs which the trade feels will begin at higher levels than q year ago, the reason being that. the mink family is the only group which had year round activity among the American raw furs. It is painted out that wild mink has grown very short in recent weeks and potential buyers are eager to get their hands on new goods.

Already there is talk of Min- nesota mink starting at $25 to $21 or $28. with some estimates going higher. to $28 and $30 This corn- pared with about $23 for the same section a year ago. Dealers who hear these new prices express concern over s start which may be too high, in their own words. They mintain that despite a ghort supply now it. ls unhealthy tg start the season at high prices and that a lot of peopixsuoan b: "huact"

to start about 15 to 26 per cent ,

It shows that. despite the 3'1 1-2 per cent tax New York (lEHlCFo were buyers of fox at the recent sale. 0f course that would have the advantage of me 10 per can: devaluation of our currency whica would help some.

Mlmlfeal. Oct. 30 — Rcappear- ance of European buying during the Canadian Fur Auction Sirius Co. (Quebec) Limited special sale caused a brisk revival in the mar- kc-t. far standard grades of silver fox on Friday, with resultant sales of about 60 per cent of the cata- 108 at. advances of 5 to 10 pcr cent over September sale. New York ‘dealers bought fairly 121171.). quantities of regular and ifll01'iL)i' Dlatina and pear platinum Thurs- day. and the auction company 1'1:- ported these advanced 15 per cent over September, with 65 per can‘. f)! FQEHIM piatina. 5O per cent of inferior platina, and 55 pzr ccni of pearl platinum sold.

_ Whitciriarkod skins (lid not share in) the advance, better grades dc- clmlng about 5 PC!‘ cent, while other lots were unchanged. A 5 per cent advance in (inc-half to three-quarter silver, with (i0 per cent of the offering sold, was rc- ported, and on these, prices rang- ed from $10 to $13.51). Selected full silver, vrhose price range was $10 to $16, advanced 10 per cent on a turnover of 75 per cent, the company reported, while regular full silver, selling between $3.50 and $12.50, was figured 50 per cent sold at an advance of 5 per cent. Inferior types were 60 per cent sold and advanced 5 per cent, with prices running from $2.50 tn $9.50. European and Canadian buying predominated todayy. Low grades, bought by Canadian manufactur- ers, were reported "mostly sold." Top price was $4.50. N.» com- parison was made.

The auction company on Thurs- day reported that 65 per cenrt of regular platlna said, 50 per cent of inferior platina, and 55 pcr cent pearl platinum. The salcsroom esti- mated an advance in each casc nf 15 per cent above the September- sale.

1n ranch m-ink, many in the trade predict a $15 average, comps 1rd to about $12.50 s yssr ago, but again 1t is pointed out that conditions during the next four weeks may necessitate s change in this esti- mate. The steel and coal strikes, which already hsvs had a slowing- up effect on the sale of medium and lower-priced fur garments, sc- cording to retail reports, can torn- psr any price rise compared to last year, many affirm. If the strikes should continue for three weeks. a L of traders do not. look for these advances on ranch mink, ai-

‘ though it is reported that len ranch

mink will be available due to a decrears in the number o! operat- ing rancher.

Concerning mutations. many denier-i feel they should open easier than a year ago. They be- lieve that the trade will bs very cautious on this article, watching color carefully and not going ever- bourd on prices they will pay. Puteii are another item. they were good lsst year, and rather limited in supply. Thus, it is felt they will open stronger. ,
