The supply Of ostrich plumcs In Lon
don has naturally been affected by the
war. Some interesting information
on this point is given by the Daily
Chronicle. which Is responsible for the
statement that there win be a deacien-
cy of nearly $4,000 worth Of feath.
ers at the next sale al Mincang Lane.
TO these sales. which take place six
times a year, buyers come from every
part Of the continent and even from
America. over S4,00o000 worth OF
feathers are sold every year, making
an average Of SGT5,000 at each sale.
Since the capture OF Khartoum there.
has been a steady supply Of ostrich
feathers from Barbary and though the
South African feathers stiil command
the higher price. their supremacy Is
threatened by the Barbary feathers.
At Nincing Lane the cost Of the feaih-
ers ranges from $3.50 to S7J or $50
per pound weight The best wing
feathers give about 40 10 100 TO the
pound. and at the highest price this
works ont at less than Is cents each.
As many Of the white feathers scarce
| ly need cleaning and rs dyeing and
curling Is very inexpensive. either the
middleman or the mniiBer must reap
handsome profits from the fashionable
weakness FOR these beautiful feathers
The smaller feathers front the tail and
body OF the bird are used for boas.
