JTEARliY 11.000,000 IX FURS.
The lanrest fur sale In the history
otvthe world cloned t the Interna
tional ,Tir Brchanfte In St. Xoule on
the 10th. The total salt's for the two
week -warn 110.M8.M8.
Parle bought well In all of the hljrh
jcrlesM furs. taJtlnir sealskins, sables,
I silver and 1lue fox, marten, ulcunk
i and fisher. London took about the
isamo; while Auntratia was an active
iWdder on many hlRh-prlced American
'funs.
The TTnlted Wtea Oovemment re
I reived an advance of 30 Ter cent, upon
Its Alaska sealskins. It Is now an old
tale how this valuable seal herd was
: traotlcaly derlmatedi when It came
i under the earn of Ir. Hugh M. Pmith,
L"nltcd States Coramtswloner of Fish
eries at Washington, and how he has
i rehabilitated the herd until now It
numbers almost B0O.00O---about five
!ra as many as when he undertook
I Its supervision and the seals hnve
jlmreajwd In elze and In value each
'J-enr since then.
Tor the first time In the history of
i the fur trade the old bull seals that
are known as "wlirs" have been
dressed and dyed; and! placed on sale
'lis fur sealskins. This name was
; adopted bocauee when the trail seal
passes a certain oko he stows a thick
iroanifl mnnfl upon the head and
shoulders that looks for all the world
like the wig which the lord high
chancellor of Oreat Britain wears
i upon hie) official occasions. Formerly
those "wise-' were merely washed and
dried and sold t a couple of (Hollars
.(piece, mostly to Russia and Siberia.
I'Now those "wigs" have 'become a val
: uahle possession. TYom bring almost
a. "throw-away" In the sealxkin bus
iness, they sold two weeks ago for an
average price of $80 apiece.
While the averaire sealskin pelt
taken from tmoryt tiie superfluous
tarhlor seals around three years old,
. measures between 40 and 48 Inches,
the "wig" measure from. 66 to SO
'1nche each.
There were some 10.000 Alaska aeal
, skins in this spring sale, and the
trade said that they could have ab
sorbed at least SO per cent, morn with
ease an3 profit. Itis expected that
,1here will he some 15.000 In tho Bep
tember sale.
The enormous price of S1.025 a pelt
was paid at this sale for Russian ea
fcle. the lot of ten matched skins
"bringing 110.250. Connoisseurs In sa
bles said that they were positively the
finest that they had ever seen or han
dled. Another startling advance in price
was when a New TorTc dealer paid
1:110 for marten, or Hudson Bay sable,
as they are known to the woman who
wears them.
Other sensational Increases In value
during the past two weeks were when
fitch registered aiv-advance of 100 per
cent. Be it noted that this fitch came
from the sunny elopes of the French
Pyrenees. But from those some sun
ny mountain slopes they are high,
enough to have perpetual snow upon
their upper reaches--come some very
fine stone marten, the fitch already
mentioned, and some foxes.
Ringtail cats were considered ft. 126
per cent. Abetter touy now than three
months ago. Xow, thla is not a tabby
cat. nor a house cat, nor yet a wild
cat. It is a wild animal, about the
size of a mink, and with a tall about
as long as the body, well marked with
rings.
Australian fox, wallaby, wombat,
ringtail opossum, and Australian
opossum all sold at advanced prices,
ranging from 10 per cent, for the fox
to 00 per cent, for the ringtail opus
sum, and B0 per cent, for the Austra
lian opossum.
For long Australia has debated
whether the Australian rabbits were
an asset or a liability. With the ship
ment of 50.000 pounds of New Zea
land and 600.000 pounds of Australian
rabbit to the fit. Louis market, and
receipt of a 35 per cent, advance over
previous price- received here, there
would seem but one answer to that
question: The Australian ra'bblt skin
makes a good felt, which our own
American bunny fails to do. Fur
thermore, the Australian rabbit Is the
parent or origin of several of the so
called Imitation furs; that Is, a cheap
fur so treated, it takes on a semblance

blance) of some more expensive pelt.
A surprisingly large crowd assem
bled, the pratically 1,000.000 muskrats
being the magnet. Tfcay's selling
opened with 1,300 ibadger, which went
rapidly at 112.680. A very brisk bus
iness was done n 120,000 civets. In
short order they changed owners to
the tune of J91.0S9. Then came on
the muskrats. Bidding was very
strong on the large, extra large and

$2 to $2.25. Fall and winter Mlnne-

TOURISTS MUST WAIT
TILL ALL OVERSEAS
SOLDIERS GET BACK
There is ,a natural anxiety on the
part of the general public eager to
resume Tourist Travel which before
1?17 was a well understood part of
summer receratlon, as to how soon
European tourist traffic will become
normal.
The whole situation may be sum
med up briefly in one statement.
Trans-atlantic passenger traffic can
not become normal until all the
members of the American Expedition
ary Force have been returned home
from overseas. According to latest
ad'ices from the secretary of war it
is the plan of the administration to
have all American troops on this side
of the Atlantic by the end of August.
or September of this year. This in
cludes the members of the present
army of occupation. Until they are
home they have the right of way on
all steamship sailings. In the mean
time only such space Is given to civi
lian passenger traffic as is not needed
for the accommodation of troops. Pas
senger travel for any but Btrictly nec
essary purposes is discouraged b
American as well as European gov
ernments and control is exercised in
this respect through the issue of pass-

THE JOY OF GARDENING ,
When the seed begins to break
through the ground and you realize
alter a long- wait that something: is
going to grow in your garden, it's
then that you begin to gret some satis
faction and joy from your work.
The weather so far has not been very
inducive for starting- seeds. The
warm weather now will bring: them
along fast and probably make up for
the loss in time. If the weather has
discouraged you from planting- so far,
don't delay any longer. Seeds that
are planted now have lots of grood
growing weather ahead of them and
will mature into a fine garden.
Here you can select the seed of any
vegetable you wish to grow.
