VALUABLE FURs
IN SOVIET TREASURY
(By Associated Press

Moscow, April IA huge
quantity of new Russian furs
stored in a warehouse near the
Kremlin and regarded by the So
vet government as part of its ma
tional treasury, is expected to be
placed on the market early next
fall.
The immense stock, consisting
largely of astrachan, sable and err
mine, is the largest single supply
of furs in Russia, and will be hel(
in reserve until the Soviets have
re-established their world trade
sufficiently to obtain a good mar
let. While thise supply is not fo'
sale, the national treasury contin-
ues to operate retail department
where mink, fox and other of the
cheaper sinks are sold. The pub
lie has unshanken confidence il

it has found the furs to be in
good condition, we'll tanned and
reasosable in price. A monkey
skin large enough for a mans
overcoat could be had last winter
for about $40 and other furs were
in proportion. A few hundred
miles from Moscow, however, the
prices are so per cent lower, as
money is scarcer.
Many of the skins selling at
high prices in Central Europe or
the United States have no special
value in Russia. Ose of these is
sable marten. A fair grade of this
fur may be had for 81 and an en-
tire coat, consisting of 90 to 20
skins, will sell for $40 or $50
While silver fox is relatively rare
here, it may be had for approx
mately the same price as sable,
which sells for about 81. All of
these sinks bring FIVE times as
soon as they cross the frontier.
