Speaking about prices it just oc- tc look up the prices paid for silver fox during the Great War of 1914- 1919. Silver fox was not obtainable were not l mhed to any great ex- lalnd. and the ful- trade depended on obtaining the bulk of their pur- chases from the wilds. 1n 1915 W. Chester S. McLure, representing the Fur Bales Board. introduced ranch bred sifvw fox to the New York and 8t. hauls fur auctions and they became instantly popular. § Quantities increased as ranchers _ . became aware that there was a market and in 1918 several thous- and pelt were handled. Now the eel would seem to us fantastic filo actual sales records are on filo as proof. rcr i. tance, ‘Ihomss Metheral oi West Cape re- ceived 01,100. for a coal black pelt and several pelts were disposed of at even higher figures, while $500. to 0000. were common. We remem- ber a ales invoice of pelts lcld by late W. K. piogers in 1015 that averaged over $1.000. and in the November auction in Lon- which . Rogers of Rogers puny, was then the so sold the highest prices pelt on the sale for 2.260, equal to about 01,230. eau was declared November . 1018, and 1919 markets were ‘cod, both in London and New ork. In the fall of that year we saw polls sold locally for nedy ibr $1.000. and sold the pelts for $1.126. One of them brought I75. and the other $400. The $400. pelt would be a quarter sliver, the . other pelt a three-quarter silver. ' Bot-h were sold to W. Chester s. McLure. 1.‘ remember these two foxes particularly. They were in a I {pen which had a. slight amount of , shade alnd were very beautiful ani-. lmals. bought by Mr. Kennedy from. ithe late ‘Franklyn Bovyer. One of them was out oi his famous pen 11R. which traced back to Carrie Bluebird. owned by the Prince Royal Fox Company. of which Frank R. Heartz was president. This Carrie Bluebird strain of foxes bad a blue-black which made them particularly attractive and when three-quarter or half-silver the silver was also very bright. For many years the Carrie Bluebird blood was sought after bv ranch- ers. .1. R. Dennis had the same blood in his ranch and wherever it weng it left its mark in the produc- tion of high-class pelts. . ‘in the spring of i020 Walter Grant marketed the Silver Slheen pelts in London. Just from rnemol-v we think he had '10 or 80 colts that sold in one sale for over $600. average. This ranch - ssesserl some of the finest fox-er. in canilviil‘ and was situated on the 8t.

The pur- pelt was Maison D'Oree of Mexico City, Mexico, who , was also one of the largest buyers of new types and silvers at the sale. There was keen competition ‘for the pelt but Mr. D‘Olee hung on and when he said $300. all bid- ding stopped and he became the victor. We understand the Colpitts also sold two platnium pelts from New Brunswick collection for $285. each, so their reputation as breed- ers of high-class platlnums is still unchallenged.

The catalogue con- tained 188 lots of which approxi- mately 50 were white marked skins. These brought the highest prices and most persistent bidding. Th top price of $135. was paid for large, bright white marked, while medium bright white marked sold from $84. to $1 . Government graded B pale white marked brought from $125. to $00. and other white marked B grades sold from $88. to $120. for large fuils, and $68. to $120. for medium fulis.

At the conclusion of the auction the Manaqer, F. H. Pingree. an- nounced that the selected full silver offering that day was 83 percent sold at an average oi 873.16 with the regular full silver collec- tion '78 percent sold at an average of $40.03.
