The New Fur Trade Center.

THE United States is becoming the
leader in many things that the
fact that the commercial capital of
America, New York, has become the
center of the worlds fur business has
not attracted much public notice.
A great deal has been written and
spoken by eminent fnanciers on the
subject of the United States becoming
the worlds banker. Attention was
called to the fact that the fur market
of the world has been shifted to New
York by news of a great fur auction
when furs to the value of about 81, 5ao.-
900 were sold to buyers from Denmark.
France, England, Canada and within the
United States from St. Louis. Chicago,
Detroit, Milwaukee and most of the large
cities of the Union. During the auction
about $4,000 skins, representing about
all commercial fur-bearing' animals,
were sold. Other fur auctions will be
held next March, June and October,
and experts, making their calculation
on the basis of the late auction. say
that the value of the furs sold and to
be. sold at the 1916 auctions will be
about 100000 London heretofore
has been the worlds center of the fur
business. but experts in the trade say
that New York is now the fur trade
center, and that it will hold its primary.

An expert has said that the labor re-

all that is required. and the thrashing
is small part of the crop labor. The
rows are planted north and south. and

sunfiowers have been long grown in
