He was very pleased with the result of the New York sale and the imDf055l°l1 that the furs marketed by 1115 01201111111- tion made on the American buyers. They were sold the day prior to the American National Association pelts. and although M11 Callback did not say so in as many words we feel sure that he was 110$ embarrassed by the compulson and quality between them. Anyone we have ever questioned who has seen our pelts stacked up against the Americans gave the opinion that we have more and therefore they have a fuller, denser and more attractive appear- arloe. American pelts for some reason $10 or other, possibly because they take them off too soon, are flatter and do not have the resiliency that good quality Canadian pelts have. Per- haps after all our northern location has something to do with it, there may be something in climate.
