Siberian Fur Trade.

Trade Commissioner Mayer, Vladi-
vostok reports that the quantities
of the most valuable furs exported
from Siberian fur regions in 1920
were: Sable. $4,000 skins; blue fox.
5000 skins; sea bear, 700 skins;
white fox, $4,000; squirrel. 10, 900, 900;
sea otter. 40: ermine. 100000; red
fox, $4,000: cross fox. 1000. and
black brown fox, 700 skins.
In recent years annual exports
of Siberian furs have been valued
at $30.000.000 to $4,000. 900.
Furs officially registered In
Vladivostok for export during 1919,
and coming principally from the
Okhotsk and Kamshatka regions
amounted to 3,S64.073 skins, repre-
senting a total value of 5000, ,00C
gold rubles. This figure does not
include furs exported to China by
Chinese compradors. the furs SNUG
gled from the northern regions OF
the Russian Far East, nor the furs
of Yakutsk which under ordinary
conditions would also be sent to
Vladivostok. Since 1919. however
Vladivostok has experienced a tre-
mendous falling. off in the fur trade
owing to political instability and
resultant influences.

LABOR NOT CAUSE
OF ENTIRE ACTIVITY
DURING PAST WEEK
Slackening of Trade and
Industry Common This
Period of Year.

Not all of the check to business
activity indicated statistically dur
ing the past week is to be attrib-
uted to the restraints imposed by
the existing labor situation. This
Is normally the dull period of the
year and some slackening of trade
tand industry should therefore be
Indicated. There was, for example,
slight decrease in car loadings
for the week ending July l, and
this could not conceivably have
been effected by the strike of the
shopmen as the latter were idle
only on the last day of the week.
On the other hand. a decline in the
scale of operations of the United
states Steel Corporation to about
as per cent of capacity, compared
with II per cent a fortnight ago,
would appear, in view of the large
volume of untitled orders on the
books OF that concern. to indicate
the effects of the fuel shortage ana
car congestion. rather than of a
seasonal movement.
Favorable Factors.
Meanwhile favorable factors are
not wanting. Both exports and do
mestic consumption of cotton were
greater in June than in May, and
consumption during the eleven
months of the current cotton year
is about a million bales in excess
OF that for the corresponding period
year ago. At the same time
stocks in warehouses are approxi-
mately two and a half million bales
less than year ago. The new crop
may exceed last years short yield
4 by some three million bales. but in
view of the increased consumption
IT will barely suffice for the mar
kets needs, and the days of a heavy
carry-over with prices below pro-
duction costs are. for the time be-
Ing at least, things of the past.
While the estimated grain crops
fall below the actual Yields of 1921.
the supplies will be ample for our
domestic requirements, with a mod
crate surplus for export.
Money Rates Easier.
Money rates have continued to
soften. Call loans on the New York
STOCK Exchange again dropped dur
Ing the week below per cent
after a temporary stiffening due to
the Withdrawals of funds to the
interior for the month end settle
ments. What attracted most atten-
ton. however, has been the further
reduction of the discount rate of
the Bank of England from 31s to 3
per cent. In view of the lower rate
in the open market in London, this
acton was not unexpected. and the
bank still adheres to its policy of
maintaining its rate somewhat
above that of the open market.
Tbs reduction has naturally pro-
voked discussion of a further lower
ing of Federal Reserve rates in
this country and in this connection
II is to be noted that the spread
between the Bank of England's and
the open market rates is still
greater after the reduction than
that between the rediscount rate
of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank and the rates for bankers ac-
ceptances. which corresponds more
nearly than anything else in this
country to the London market rates.
