The num- ber of turkey poults batched in registered hatcheries in l953'was 3.406.294; the hatched in 1954 was approximately four and a half million poults valued at near- ly 35 million dollars. in the Prov- ince of Quebec, the hatpheries which in 1946 produced only about 310,000 poults. last year hatched well over I million. and these were mostly raised within the province.

Tlioiigh p ro it u c t I u n in 19.34 dropped to an 11-year low. tfaiiudo still has huge surpluses carried oi or from preiious bumper crops. On July 111 last they rcaclied an all-tiiiie high of 59-1.200.000 buslicis, enough to feed Canada's own popu- lation for four years. Thus. while 19.34 output was slashed by rust and bad weather to less than 300,000,000 bushels, about one-half the near-record 61-1.- 000,000 produced in 1963. Caiiuda entered the new crop year Aug. 1 last with supplies of 803.200.1100 bushels. This was not far below the peak 9l13.l00,000-bushel supply the previous year. WORLD SURPIAJS Federal authorities estimate ex-. ports in the current crop year will increase over the 25 100.tl00 bush- els shipped in 1953-54. But with other big wheat-producing coun- tries reporting heavy surpluses and the big importing nations seek- inrg lower prices. they see no hope 0 matching the near-record .1115.- 500,000 bushels exported in 1952-53. Encouraging to farmers are pre- dictions of the Canadian Wheat Board. It says it will be able to handle during the current crop year deliveries equivalent to all wheat available from the poor 1954 crop as well as much of the farm-stored wheat, estimated July 31 last at about 200000.000 bushels.

New York, last week when the offer- ing was 79,000 pelts, the greatest number ever put up for sale. Ninety-two percent of the catalogue changed hands and the prices re- mained firm to the very last. Close to 60 per cent of the males ranged from 330 to 338 and some 25 per cent of the collection brought 838 and up. In the fe- males the favorite price was 519 to 323 with almost 60 per cent in that bracket. Some 25 per cent brought upwards of 5523. A typical omment from one dealer was: "Last year I paid 540 for the first males and S21 for the first females of I particular rancher. The same merchandise today brought 543 for males and 526,50 for females. This is typical of the price trend." From Stockholm.

Colitiiiuiiig the report of the Hud- son"s Bay Company": sale in New York last week we find that both EHBA Lutetia and Cerulean min': continued to set a wicked pace. Both appeared headed for 100 per cent turnover with Lutetia clinlb- ing 15 per cent fruln December leicls. Ccruleans were reported very firm because of strong com- petition in both categories. Top prices for male Lutetia was 372. females 339. Top price for Stewart Royal Pastels was 557. females 530. Top price for Ceruleans was 564, females S29. The strength shown by Lutetia was the result of traditional economic factors. Most buyers felt the crop had been cut sharply. some as much as 40 per cent and that European inter- est is being accepted in these types.

Stone in Wausau. Wis.. on Decem- ber 5. The decision ended the suit brought by Midwest Fur Pro- ducers Association against the validity of EMBA tradesmarks. Judge Stone also ruled that the Mutatioli Mink Breeders Asso- ciation has no legal right to re- strict the use of such names ex- clusively to its members and that the association cannot register similar names, with spelling varia- tions, such as "Silverblu." EMBA had long tried to stop Midwest and other associations and breed- ers from using the terms in the sale of their animal and pelts un- less they were sold through ElliBA's marketing S)SlEl1'l. To be able to use the terliis. hrccdcrs. EMBA contended. had ttl be mem- bers of the association. Judge Stone cunt-lutled that "Sil- verlilil" and the other names are generic terms descriptive of partl- cular mutations or strains of mink. that they hail been used gener- ally and uniformly by breeders and members of the fur trade. in- clurlini: niatiui.'it'tui'ci's. pruir to thc time EMBA had them registered and that EMBA ”caniitit properly or legally clnltn exclusive trade- mark rights" to their use The judge also declared that the reg- istrations were "obtained by false and frantlulent l'Fl)1'P.N('Illall0fIS" lie pointed out that I-INIHA "over a substantial period of time roil- sented to the it-'.c of silt-ii names by many, who were legally stratig- ers to it, and has and is, in effect, offering to license. alid licensing. anyone to use said iiamcs upon the payiiicnl to the said dcteiidalit IEMBAI of a stipulated royalty fee." The above decision will have a far reaching effect. both iiutioiiol and international. in the fur trade. During the trial ll('l'L'. ilitlwcst contended that EXIBA lizui lurccd the large auction liotlst-s not to sell mink pelts marked "Silvcrlilu" un- less they were reccitctl front EMBA members. Tile consensus of opinion among auction company men is that the decision will not cause much change in auction company practices. I-JMBA collec- tions. it was said. will continue to be offered in catalogs separate from independent shippers. thtiuitll there will likely be greater flexi- bility in the use of niiitalinn names.
