Victory Over Budworm Reported By Paper Firm

EDMUNDSTON, N.B. (CP)— scored victory over the spruce | budworm in northern New Bruns- | wick and nearby areas of Que-

The success is recorded in the annual report of Fraser Compan- les Ltd., producers of pulp, paper, paperboard and lumber. The re- port says:

“Indications, first noted in 1957, of a marked decline in the spruce budwerm infestation - continued into 1958. Assessment surveys fol- Jowing spraying operations in 1958. i ted .a further decline in the insect population to such an'extent that spraying opera- tions will not be necessary in 1959.

“It now is apparent that the ob- jectives of seven years of spray- | ing have been largely achieved.

PREVENTED CESTRUCTION “Special areas, which were not sprayed, provide assurance that if the forests had not been sprayed there would have been

Operations against the spruce budworm have been carried out

|under supervision of Forest Pro-

tection Ltd. in New Brunswick and Quebec Forest Industries Ltd in Quebec—with Fraser Compan- ies’ participation.

Fraser Companies and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fraser Paper Ltd. had net profit in 1958 of $4,621,859, or $2.07 a share, compared with $5,298,524, or $2.38 a share, in 1957. Net sales were $54,564,038 compared with $57,- 557,950. Loss from conversion of United States funds into Canadian was $864,796 compared with a loss of $1,308,641 in 1957. LUMBER SALES UP

Reduced demand for woodpulp and paper products, experienced in the latter part of 1957, contin- ued into 1958, the report says. Or- ders for paper increased after Labor Day. Lumber sales were higher than in 1957.

Despite the increase in papers orders, the report continues, there was no appreciable change in total quantity of orders on hand.

TIMELY NOTES ON FUR TOPICS

Fromm Bros. are continuing to Insert half-page ads in “Wom- en's Wear Daily” for Fromm Pedigreed Fox Furs. Their claim is that they present a .atural “color spectrum” ranging from silver to gold, unheard of in the history of fox.

The ad states: ‘Fashions a- bout to be worn _will be .avished with fur, trimmed with fox, touched with fox—glorified with fox! And the women who will wear them will be more beauti- ful bec of Fromm Pedigre- ed F HIGHER PRICES

At’ the New York Auction Company Sale last week. 70,000 dressed E.M.B.A. Autumn Haze pelts were 96 percent sold at prices 742 percent higher thas January levels. The official re

port noted ‘tremendous distri- bution” and “excellent attend. ance”

The collection was described as average, and it drew a male high of $47, with female reach- ing a top of $23.50.

Pastels continued their amaz- ing domination of the mink pic- | ture in the above sale. and the | verdict of the auction company was ‘‘very firm and almost ail sold’’. The amazing aspect of the sale, of course, is the fact that the market has only récently absorbed about a half a million pelts, by far the largest percent- age being pastel types.

Without as much as a breath- | er, the auction season rolled | right on, and with the same vig- or and momentum.

MUTATIONS

At the Canadian Fur Auction Sales Company (Quebec) Limit- ed, Montreal, the latter part of this week, 40.000 dark and mu- tation mink, and 5.000 wild mink will be offered. The mutations will include a large percentage of E.M.B.A.-brand mutations for | the account of members of Ca- | nada Mink Breeders’ Associa- | tion. }

The largest number of silver | fox at any sale in some years will | go on sale February 21. There | are about two thousand skins. |

With more intere® being tak- | en in long-haired furs, we look | to see an improvement in the | prices for silver fox over prev. | ious sales.

There are a great many other varities of skins offered by them | at this auction, but the’ above should be sufficient to perhaps prove the claim that “‘to London is attracted the greatest collee- | tions of furs in the world’.

Competing with the above firm is the oldest firm in that line in the world—C.M. Lampson and Sons, who were the receivers of the Charles Dalton and Robert Cul-

‘early years of this century, and who sold silver fox pelts at auc- tion for as high as 540 pounds sterling—very close to $2,400 net to Mr. Dalton. The Dominion Fur

Strep Pech Mines Profit Declines

TORONTO (CP) i Rock Iron Mines Ltd.. had net profit in 1°58 of $1,386.508, or 17.2 cents a share, compared with $7,910,- 988, or 98 cents a share, in 1957.

quirements will. exceed -160,000,- 000 tons by 1965 and will reach 200,000,000 tons by 1975, at which time the United States is ex pected to-be importing 100,000,000 tons annually.

“A ready American market has been indicated for 40,000,000 tons of Canadian ‘ore by 1965, and as much as 80,000,000 tons by 1975.”
