FURS-Dealers Cut
Prices for Ne,p Cnick

Local raw fur dealers are preparing
TO sefd out new price lists to ship
pers and trarrers throughout the co,n
try, which will show a reduction in the
prices they are willing to ray for furs
of the new catch. One of the sharpcst
reductions will be shown in skunk
prices. Most Of the first of the sea-
sons price offerings for skunk wece
from 81 skin up to S11 for the finest
pelts.
Early shipments of skunk are run
ming exceptionally large and the quality
is shade above average. according
to number of dealers. The large
quantity available and the easing off
Of prices in London, which serves as
distributing center for Europe. where
skunk is used more widely than in
AMERICA, is the reason given for the
decision to lower price offerings to
shippers.
Shipments OF muskrat, the basis for
Hudson seal, which has shown such
alarming advances in recent years, are
coming in slowly. Dealers arc of the
pinion that country collectors and
trappcrs are holdin~ accumulations for
speculation Some Of the largest deal
ers in muskrat skins have expires ID
their intention of limiting their opera
tions in this fur for the { ming season
because Of the added risk and large
mount of money needed TO carry heavy
stocks

COTTONS-Cray Goods

Weakness in the gray or unfinished
cotton goods market yesterday was
pronounced. More goods were offered
then the trade was willing to absorb
even at the sagging orices. The of
ferlngs came from sec. nd hands. as
the gray goods mills are sold up for
several months to come, in most
cases, and are willing TO wait some
time before offering more goods in
the market. Coarse goods were off a
few points from the previous days

cloths at 1S cents yard. a. full half
or quarter cent below previous QUO
tations.
Large converters, printers and other
users of gray goods are keeping out
of the market for the present. They
believe that any large buying move
ment now will send prices up. They
prefer to let the market take it's
course until they are forced unto buy
ing goods to fill orders. Apparently
on order to keep their plants running
for some time.
Jobbers and converters Of fine
goods, such a. organdics, voiles,
lawrs, ETC. say that hey have taken
about all the spring orders the
stocks will allow and buyers are still
anxious for more goods.
Exporters say tEat considerable
quantities Of white and colored coarse
goods are being shipped to Mexico
and TO Cuba The movement of goods
to Europe has fallen off because of
the adverse exchange rate, but the
good position of China in exchange is
leading the Chinese to buy heavily
