§ 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

1015 that averaged over $1.000. and in the November auction in Lon-

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.

curred to us that it might be well! his large rink-neck platinum peltg bring the highest price at the recent Canadian Fur Auction Ccm-l pany's sale in Montreal. 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 following are some particul- ars re the sale taken from Wonmfs Wear Daily. . . ."Bidding livened up and a. larger percentage was sold on the final day of the Can. aclian rm Auction Sales Company January sale. 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. Full silver pelts were most active- ly bidded for when prices passed $00. The top was $110. for large.

silvery selects $84; A large . to $1M; B large fulls cs2. to $110; Medium s56. to $96; large silvery $52 to $86; C pale medium $66: fulls 56o to $12,

Regular full silvers brought a top price of $70. for large full c grade and the same top for white marked silvers B grade; large full B’s sold up to $66. and medium between $54. and $68; regular iulls were mostly bought by Canadians but some good lots were taken by New York dealers who had also bought, ialrly heavily oi the select- ed section.

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.

Great interest was taken during the afternoon in the 614 C-FA. specials which included platinums. platinum silvers, pearl platlnumsﬂ ring-necks and white marked silv- ers. The top price of $205. was paid for a large B grade platinum silver Other platinum silvers ranged us follows: Grade A large. $1 $190. with $190 also paid for a platinum silver ring neck: grade B
