OSTRICH PLUME
IMPORTS FALL
OFF OVER HERE
NEW YORK. Oct. 23. Im-
portation of ostrich plumes
into the United States, which
in pre-war days often exceeded
$6,000,000 annually and which
duAng the war dropped to less
than $25,000, amounted to
$2,500,000 during the past fis
cal year. These figures were
made public today by the Na
tional City bank.
Although there is an increas
ing demand for the plumes,
the statement said, importa
tions are not expected to reach
pre-war levels azain because of
the increasing industry in this
country. The ostrich popula
tion in the United States has
grown within a comparati ely
short time to 10.000. Ostriches
