Salearoom comment was to the effect dealers were pushing them- selves in bidding up prices because of the fact that most of them had been cleaned out of ranch stand- ards in the past two months, or were running low in stock. No res- istance developed, aocording to several dealers, because the a- mount oi goods being offered was just enough to give each of those buying a small quantity. Several dealers said they had delayed en- tering the competition in the hope that a saturation point might be reached, after which activity would slough off and the goods would prove easier to buy at lower prices. But interest remained consistently strong through the morning and was only slightly modified during the afternoon session, The firmness of the sale, according to some deal- ers, forced those playing a waiting game to join in the bidding. Eight awards and two honorable mentions were made to fur gar- ment miinufacturers in the first part of the fur fashion show at the Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, last week. A panel of six judges, mostly retailers, checked over 100 coats submitted by some 60 Canadian manufacturers. They voted a total of eight awards plus two honorable mentions. Judging was done anony- mously in that no manufacturer's identity was disclosed to any of the judges when the coals were inspected. Factors of styling, work- manship. skin matching and sal- abillty were evaluated in deter- mining the awards and in some categories a ballot was taken to settle the winner. Presentations were made to the following; Empire Mouton, l..td., Montreal, for a lightweight mou- ton full length coat with patch pockets, treated like seal; A. J. l-lerscovicl, Ltd. MON-Teal. GIMP- ped muskrat backs and worked ike mlnik, showing a sunburst ck; Anastas Fur Co., Ltd.. Mon- treal, let-out muskrat dyed wild mink; Arden Fur 00..

Fair percentages of wild stand- ard and mutation mink were sold at prices in line with March levels at Hudson's Bay Company's mink sale last. week. Activity by New York buyeis was conspiclous all along the line, also by local bid- de-rs particiuiarl-y in the purchase of pastel and platinum mutations and standard skins. Turnovers were reported as follows....Wild mink 66 per cent, pastel 58 per cent, platinum 62 per cent, stand- ard 61 per cent, 96 per cent sold at very finn prices.

A tremendous turnout, possibly the largest of the season, was praent for the standard ranch mink sale at Iampsnii, Fraser 4; I-luth's last week. Results of the first day's bidding proved the In- dependent shippers collection was in keen demand with 96 per cent of the goods reportedly sold. sales room comments said goods were moving at prices 15 per cent higher than the last Independent sale in February. The auction re- ports said top price for males was 333.50 for extra dank and dark skins. Females brought 317.50. C. D. Lang, Editor of Fur of Canada, has a very strong editor- ial on the front page of his mag- azine. These are bxtiracts....'l'he action of the Cuiadlan mizilk breed- ers in seeking opinions regarding marketing and other phases of mink production is to be commend- ed. A questionnaire has been sent to prrovincial fur breeder Iss0cla- tloiis. auction companies. Trade journals and leading breeders, rs- Dresentinx a wide cross section of Canada. This questionnaire should bring forth I lot of valuable opinion relating not only to the ten questions asked but to many other matters pertinent to the Prosperity of the industry. It should lead to conclusions which will be constructive and positive if all those who have been queried will give careful thought to the mat- ters involved and take the trouble to answer the questionnaire. ”In these days many producers Of Primary materials have been schooled, in the notion that all the difficulties of their particular E6llV1l-ll. can be solved by govern- ment aid in the form of subsidies, Dnce supports or legislation which discriminates against competition We have a flagrant example of this idea in recent movements of farm blocs to secure prohibi- tions in the marketing of margar- inepaiid in effects to place im- pediments in the way of margar- ine manufacturers by prohibit- ing the coloring of margarine at the point of manufacture. ”These people demand that, in effect, the government should guarantee their prosperity as a class, that their product should be kept at a profitable level re- gardless of the interests of con- sumers and taxpayers. Such prac- tlcss have grown to such a point in Canada and the United States that Dljod-uoeis of all sorts of commodities immediately rush to the government when the price of any production starts to fall in accordance with the law of supply Elldv demand. The Republican Ad- ministration of the United States has been endeavoring to stem this trend with, apparently, very little success. The mighty farmer vote arises in protest and the adminis- tration is compelled to accede to farmer demands. Thus commodi- ties are kept at an artificially high price which diminishes consumer demand for the simple reason that consumers cannot afford to pay such prices. This in turn causes surpluses to accumulate and many times results in wasteful losses of food and other materials. "A few people in the fur farm- ing industry also cling to the idea that government fiat can solve their problems. This again is a triumph of hope over experience. This journal has contended many times that the future of the fur farming industry lies in the hands of the fur farmers themselves. If the industry persists in producing mediocre and low-grade furs in large quantities nothing can save it, including government action. Once the prestige of mink declines for any reason, whether because of super-abundance of inferior mink or by failure of advertising and promotion of superior mink, the article will be neglected by the conznimer which of course will immediately affect the dealer and manufacturer.
