New York IL . Great Market. Though 1on.
doa and Leipzig ARE Ahead.

don and Leipzig Are Ahead.
Since John Jacob Aston, the elder,
made his vast fortune in the fur trade, /
the business Of collecting, buying, pre- /
pairing and selling furs has become one
Of the greatest industries Of this coun-
try. Millions upon millions of dollars
are now invested in this business in
New York alone, which is the princi-
pal market Of the country, and its inn
portance is increasing.
London and Leipzig, however, are
the two great markets of the world.
The prices that obtain in the former
city are the standard by which fur
dealers all over the civilized world are
governed. Every March fur dealers
from all the big cities of the world
gather in London at the auction sales
of the great commission houses. and
millions of dollars worth of all kinds
of flrs are then disposed of. These
sales occur also in November and jan
uary. American dealers and mSnufac-
turers buy nearly all their furs then.
Said a fur reporter who had just re-
turned from the November sales:
"London still holds the lead in the
dyeing and preparing of sealskins;
hut Leipzig is ahead on all the black
dyed furs. The prices of furs has not
changed much from those of last sea-
son. The most expensive, rs us
ual. is the sea otter, and 1 saw some
sold at G15O for q skin. That is the
jobbing price, too. 1t was Siberian
otter. Silver fox skins are very expen-
sive also, and brought as high as $50.
The other popular furs this season are
Russian white hare, dyed silver and
black. and sealskin. Beavers popu-
larity is decidedly on the wane."
American manufacturers L placed.
at a great disadvantage, because they
have to import all the fine furs after
they are dyed. That compels them to
pay 20 per cent. duty. Ii the methods
of dyeing and dressing were as good i'll
this country as they are abroad. this
duty would be saved, as there is no
duty OH the raw shins. Fortunes have
been sunk i'll the attempt to improve
our methods, but it is said that the
difficulties lie in our air and water.
1t may interest the ladies' who are
anxious to possess sealskin cloaks to
know that the best are obtained from
the seals of the South Sea, and not
from the Alaska animals, as is popu-
larly supposed. The Alaska skins are
very fine, however, and not nearly 50
high priced. The poorest are secured
around Cape Horn, and these are used
almost entirely for caps and gloves. 1t
pays the customer to go to a first-class
dealer and pay an honest price. Dis
honest dealers resort to a great MANY
little tricks, which only an expert can
discover. One of these is to palm off
skunk as sable.
While foreigners are able to boast
superiority in dyes, the American
manufacturers can claim the lead in
making and finishing. An English
made sealskin cloak looks coarse and
bungling when compared with the
American. This is true also of the cut
and style.

A JULY. sQUALL

A Fierce Blow on tho sound En-
cOuntered by twelve Coal Laden
Rarges bound For This Port The
Rescue-One Barge Sunk.
BRIDaEPoRr, July 15.-At 8 O'Clock this
morning the tug Frances King, hence from
New York, with twelve barges coal laden,
four for New Haven, encountered one OF the
fiercest squalls of the season. The wind had
been blowing strong from the east, when,
suddenly 1t piped to the north and rose to
gale. A high sea was piled up, and being
about half mile outside the harbor light
and strong tide setting outward, the tug
had more than she could do. The result
was one barge, chunker with 100 tons of
coal for Williams Sc Wells of New Haven,
foundered and went down. A second, con-
signed to the same parties, filled, and in her
struggle to maintain her course towards the
mouth of the hurbor, the King displaced the
shoe to her rudder post, thus rendering her
powerless for further work. Signals were
given which Harbormaster MoNiel observed
and dispatched the tug Isis, Captain Joe
Green to the rescue. He arrived on the
scene Just in time to save the entire tow
and brought it with the King to the wharf
in safety. The tugs marine pump was set
at work and in the course of two hours the
chunker was freed. The King with chains
and ropes temporarily applied to her rudder,
set out for New York, for repairs, leaving
the balance of her tow here.
