ANNUAL LONDON FUR SALE.
Increase Of 90 Per Cent in Price Of Alasks
skins-Small O6srfngs.

LONDON, Nov. Especial. Published
reports of the annual sale of furs, which
took place this week. have variously stated
the number of seaiskins at from 100, 900 to
$4,000. One of the heaviest fur dealers,
having waited in vain for some modifica-
ton of these ridiculous statements. as he
terms them, volunteers some absolutely
correct information in regard to the sale.
which shows how incorrect former reports
of transactions in Alaska skins have been.
As matter of fact. he says, only 10000
Alaska skins were offered. this being about
one-ftfh Of the number offered last year,
and the actual advance in price consequent
upon the reduced number of skins in the
market was 80 per cent. on Alaskas, IS per
cent. on Copper islands and so per cent. in
Northwest coasts. With the exception Of
. small quantity of Northwest seals yet to
be disposed of, there viii be no further
offerings OF raw seals until October, 1891.
