LONDON Fur SALE.
Alaska, Copper Island, Vic
topia and LoboS Island
Skins Sold.
A Decline OF About 6 Per
Cent on Alaska
Skins,
While the Northwest Coast
Skins Advanced About 10
Per Cent.
Average Prices Maintained.

The annual public auction of Fur
Seals took place in London Oct. 81. and
was of great Importance this year owing
to the fact that in October, 1890. Seal
advanced from 81 to 113 per cent over
the prices brought in October, 1889,
being the greatest advance ever known,
and being caused by shortage of skins.
The whole fur trade, and the ladies,
too, have been interested in the outcome
of this sale, as the enormous advance of
last year has been very generally felt
by purchasers of Seal Garments this
season. The facts are that Seal, as
whole. held its own on this Sale-that
is. there were about $4,000 Qnstead OF
the usual 100000 Alaskas offered at the
sale, and about 10000 Copper Island,
Victoria, L0bos, and low grades. The
AlaskaS declined 81 to 1215 per cent,
and lower grades advanced 6 to ID per
cent, so the average lot sold at prices of
last October
The public generally are not aware
that seals are sold in London in
their raw state, and that at present
raw seal is worth about $40, so that an
etONoil VI uCCllllC VI pei CCuG ID OLl1
s. on a skin, or 81 on garment las
there are three and half skins in
garment; that the'fiXed charges for dye
ing, dressing and duties are the same.
Whether skin cost, raw, 81 or $50,
hence an advance or decline of 10 per
cent, doesn't affect the price of Seal
Garments. For many years-from 1880
to lS90-the prices at the London sales
varied each year, sometimes 10 per cent
decline, sometimes 10 to Is per cent adj
vance, yet during these ten years Seal
Garments scarcely varied in price; but
when in 1890 the advance was 113 per
cent Oh the class of skins especially in
demand, advancing the raw skins from
value Of about SO to $2l, it made
difference of S3S to $40 in a Seal Jacket,
which was felt at once.
The facts are that the total supply of
Seal of all kinds has been reduced from
Il matter of 200, 900 skins yearly, as of
fered from 1880 to 1890 each year, to less
chan One-third that amount last year,
and about One-balf that amount this
year. Seal is undoubtedly scarce, and
will stay at or about present prices for
at least three years. Messrs. Ransom q
Horton, OF this city, furnish us the re-
port of the fur sales. which we append

NTrs. Ordway,s surnrise.

Last night was the one night in all
the year when simple things are in
spired with wltching power, and whoever
wishes may read his, or more often her,
future in thousand different ways. 1t
is always night of fun ana frolic, and
last night was no exception to the rule.
A horde of young people poured in at
Mrs. TarboX's hOspitable house early in
the evening. headed by the gayest Spir-
its of that set, and proceeded to Mrs.
Ordway's, where they entered and gave
their unsuspecting hostess a rousing
Halloween surprise party. 1t was en-
tireiy informal one of the tell every
body you see" arrangements-but it
was none the less one of the jolliest af-
fairs of the week.
