Any ilesitancy in buying or any decline in price which has occur- red at the two auctions can be at- trlbuted almost cntirelv to the fact that a’ l0 per cent increase in sales tax on all furs will go into effect in the United States today, The furrlcrs are of the opinion that it will be no April lfoers joke on them. They are anticipating a. big let up in public buying, some expressing the opinion that the effects of the tax and regulations of the OPA will be felt for months and that a quiet bll-Blllw dull“: the summer sea- son will result. ._,__ However, it is s well known iiact that most fur merchants are temperamental and perhaps in this ease they are meeting trou- ble before it really commences. as we have mentioned on several oc- casims the bright spot in the 916N119 for us la that there is not a. very large quantity of silver fox and allied type pelts to be disposed of and the probability is that declines will not go to great lengths, probably not more than 20 per cent on an average over January prices- Ihnk G.
