Mr. Forbes is always ll. good reservoir for news connected with our industry, so I drew as much from him as possible in the short time at my disposal. i ' “What about the general fur sit- uation in New York, Mr. Forbes?“ “It is good." said he. “Stocks are ! low and dealers feel bright and I cheerful because of the active mar- ket. The recent silver fox sale there i was very successful. eighty per cent l of the offerings being sold at from l ten to fifteen per cent advance. or course the emphasis was on full silvers, but as tiley are becoming i scarcer. more attention is being paid to three-quarters and halves. I sincerely believe that our Amer- ican friends will be buyers of 11. large number of pelts in Europe. In fact they have already been in that market as good customers and have had quite a lot to do with strellgtli- ening prices because of relieving us of a. part of our supply. One sllip- ment of 5,000 Norwegian pelts wns made to a large New York concern with branches throughout the coun- ll‘.V and they promptly advertised those to the trade as of that origin."

Mr. Forbes was for outstanding skins, but no doubt there were a lot of poorer grades that did not reach the Iaondoil markets. ,This season the climatic conditions may be reversed or if I not they may be equaiszed and if so i I look to see Canadian furs quite as I highly spoken of as in other year ." ; “Do you think we should endeavor to compete with the Norwegians on ‘the December sales?" “I do not.“ said Mr. Fbrbes. "Their season is a month earlier than yours, and in addition their location gives them‘ an advantage. being almost 3. week =nea.rer the London in “ than iyou are. I would strongly advise l Canadian fox ranchers to pass up . the December sales and concentrate on the January and spring sales.” _‘ "How about honle consumption of silver fox furs, Mr. Forbes? When . I was there some years ago there 4 was very little demand. but I under. ‘ stand that now almost all retailers nre featuring silver fox in London and the provinces and this will cause the absorption of many thou- sands of pelts that other years . would have to be distributed to the j continent." "That is true," he said. . "Everywhere you look you see silver 1 fox, good. bad and indiiierent. soci- I ety people are using two and three piece skin effects and capes are | coming in. I cilnnot see any signs i on the horizon to change my optim- ism towards your commodity. In fact I belim-e all present supplies I will be easily cleaned up before any of this season's skins are available. Firm prices and a good demand are wllut I predict. for June." From here Ml‘.
