Fur Auction To
Be Held April 1
WASHINGTON. I/P>—'The gov
ernment’s semi-annual auction of
Alaska seal skins — spring-time
barometer of the fur busines
will be at St. Louis Apri-1 14. the
Fish and Wildlife service said to
day.
Fur experts say the resit Vs ol
the sale probably w il determine
whether fur prices will be higher
or lower in the immediate future
Fur prices tumbled sharp’;*—3 >
per cent, on the average—after
the fall auction at St. Louis last
September, when the Alaskan
pelts drew unusually low returns.
The market made a partial recov
ery in recent weeks.
Alaskan sealskins come from the
government-owned herd on the
Pribilof islands.
"The 30 per cent decline in
prices last fall was the result of
warm weather, stock market con
ditions and other factors.” Jules
Rendelman. a co-owner of Jandle
Furs, Inc., told a reporter.
“Within the last three weeks,
luxury fur prices have risen 10 to
15 per cent, and other furs have
increased 5 to 10 per cent. We’ve
had colder weather, and the mar
ket went down too far too fast.
“We expect the prices to in
crease still further, but we don’t
think they will go back up to what
they were. We won’t know until
after the St. Louis seal sale, be
cause that has come to be the bar
ometer in the fur business.”
