In conversation with Mr. Pin- gree, Manager of the Canadian For Auction Company. Ltd. Mon- treal. Mr. Clark was informe that. they would offer about l0.- 000 silver fox and its mutations at auction next Monday afternoon. December 20th. Mink will be sold in the morning. it will probablv take most of Tuesday to the sale of silver fox. Mr. Pin- gree is expecting high prices be- cause of the very strong demand.

Mr. Clark's own impression is

t that there is a great scarcity of

pelts this season and he says that the foreign markets. particularly the South American markets. are very keen to secure Canadian sil- ver fox pelts and that means that with the money now available in those countries they will not stop at price.

Ottawa. Canada-December 9. 1043i SUMMARY _ Cattle prices cn eastern Canad-

' ian markets were steady to strong .

during the week under Ieview, es-i peeiaiiy on the better grades oi killing material. In the nest. how- ever. where the bulk cl‘ the cfferr trig was plain in quality. the mark- et was no better than steady and in many instances oiam stockcr cattle were hard to dispose of. In the east. anything gramnir. from medium up was rewarded with a 26 cents advance. but in the west. l there was little change in the price . structure. There was still some conzcstlon on the killing floors of | packing plants in westeni Canada, l but. sh ppers kept TQCHplb coming. into central markets in I fairly orderly fashion and this preventw od any price declines. Calves were strong sellers throughout. with " acme slight price gains noted. while hogs. although in heavy supply. maintained their previous. price levels. Lamb markets were a mixed affair. While ‘Toronto was dropping 25 cents to 50 cents on a heavy offering oi’ below-normal . quality. other markets were mark- lug up gains of up to 25 cents.

Eastern Cattle Markets

The better quality steers and heifers were rarhcr scarce at Tor- onw and those offered sold readily at. an advance of 25 cents. choice weighty steers making $12.15 to $13 and butcher steers up to $12. About 400 plain cattle were unsold at thc close. The market at Montreal was strong to 25 cents higher. although most of the supply was of plan to common quality. Some medium steers sold up to $11 50 and $11.75 and good butcher cows fi'om $8.2; to $0 There was no change in th: Maritime situation. where finisher‘- caltle were very scarce. The quot- ation on choice steers and heifers was $10.25 f.o.b coun-‘ry points.

NITRATE OF SODA:--ls not available. ln place oi if. use about half the quaintity of Ammonium Nitrate.

SULPHATE OF AMMONIA: —0ur supply is limited. Substi- tute Ammonium Nitrate and/or Cyanamid. when nos- sible. Deliveries of Sulphate or Ammonia for home mix- ing cannot be made until Spring.

AMMONIUM NITRATE: - As received by us this is a white free flowing material containing from 32% to 34% Nitro- gen, half of which is in a form similar to that found in Nitrate of Soda, the other half to Sulphate of Ammonia. It is packed in paper bags and absorbs moisture when exposed to the air. T0 maintain its free flowing quality the bags should not be left open for any length of time. We recommend this for direct application and. to a limited extent. for use in home mixing. We can supply freely only orders placed with us early.

CYANAMlDz-This is a black material containing from 20% to 22% Nitrogen. It can be used for direct application. and in limited quantities for home mixing. We can supply freely only orders placed with us early.

BUPERPHOSPHATE" — We are selling a verv free flowing grade containing a minim um of 20% Available Phos- phoric Acid- We believe our supply to be ample. never- theless. order edrly.

MURIATE OF POTASH: —Supplies are definitely SHORT. Until we can purchase further. we cannot sell anyone more than 70% of the Potzish content of his 1942/3 puf- chases. The Fertilizer Administrator has instructed that deliveries of Potash are to be made only on orders including quantities of Nitrogen carriers and Suoerphos- phate suitable for mixing any of the mixtures recom- mended for use during the 1943/44 Season. Deliveries of Potash for home mixing cannot be made until Spring.

MiXED 4-12-6:—This is the only 1943 mixed fertilizer that we are permitted to make this year. Sometimes used on Potatoes. The quantity of complete fertilizers that we can sell being controlled by the Potash content, we can supply 4-12-6 or 5-10-l0 in the proportion of 3.300 lbs. of the former to ° 000 lbs. of the latter.

MIXED 5-10-10: -- This contains 25% more Nitrogen and Phosphoric Acid and the same amount of Potash as the popular 4-8-10. (now disallowed). It contains 25% more of all plant foods than 4-8-8, and saves the farmer at current prices $2.62l/9 per ton plus the saving in freight and handling. In other words 400 lbs. of 5-10-10 con- tain the same amount 0f plant food as 500 lbs. 4-8-8. We recommend that 400 lbs. of 5-10-10 be used where 500 lbs- of 4-8-10 would be used if it were available.
