AMERICAN FUR MARKET IS NOW
DOMINATING the WORLD TRADE

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.--St. Louis
which was one OF the first fur trad
ing posts in America, bases its claim
of being the raw fur market of the
world primarily on its central loca
tion.
Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, trap
pers a century and a half ago pad
died down these natural carriers with
their packs of pelts to dispose of
them in st. Louis. It was at this
time that Pierre Laclede established
the first trading post in this vicin
ity. and one of the chief commodi
ties it handled was furs. On estab
fishing the post Laclede expressed
the opinion that the site might be
come a right considerable settle
ment" A granite boulder at the
foot of Market Street here marks
the spot where the post was estab
lished
Although the largest fur sales
were held in London for many years
ST. Louis never lost its prominence
as a fur market, and with the out
break of the world war. the sales
swung back to tho American city
Sixty per cent of the raw furs oi
the United States, according to p
b. Fouke, prominent local fur dealer
Mr.. Fouke estimates that local deal
ers pay $15,OO0,000 to trappers fol
the four months work every year
In addition to the sale of Ameri
can furs all through the winter
several millions of dollars OF pelts
are sold at the semi-annual public
auction sales, which are attended by
buyers from all parts of the world
The sale of Government skins usu
ally precedes these sales. Every
variety Of fur, from the lowly house
cat to the expensive Russian sable
is offered at the auctions.

der Is years of age, employed by
one of the largest American indus
tries, and who we're re-examined in

boys making high scores are more
likely than others to become perma

These are the conclusions of Wal

who conducted the experiment. Each
boy was tested and the charts filed

them as each boy went his way

merit Of his work. Then the new
scores made possible comparison
of the progress made by the boys
during the intervening time.

FISH SOLD AT
PRINCE RUPERT
MUST PAY DUTY
American Fish Prepared for
Shipment at Canadian
Port Becomes Foreign.

That American fish sold at Prince
Rupert cannot be reshipped into the
United States without the payment
of the two cents pound duty after
having been stored, frozen, salted,
dried or otherwise preserved, but
that 1T must be treated as foreign
firh when it comes back into this
country, is a statement made by
Collector John c. Mcbride of the
United States Customs this morn
ing, based upon advices received
from Washington.
The Treasury decision was rem
dered by Mckenzie Moss, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, and was
made specifically to meet the Prince
Rupert situation, where the custom
has been to permit the reentry into
the United States without payment
of the two cents pound duty, of
halibut caught by American fishing
vessels and sold in Prince Rupert.
The custom must be discontinued.
After reciting the conditions that
obtain at Prince Rupert, the Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury con-
cludes:
Fish which are sold in foreign
ports to American or foreign inter-
csts are not entitled to free entry
unless they are shipped Immediately
to the United States without having
been stored, frozen, salted, dried, or
otherwise preserved, for the reason
that by such sale and prcservative
treatment the Ash would become so
far mingled with foreign commerce
as to deprive them Of their status
as the product of American fisheries.

A second military organization 1T New Britain, Private Walter J.

 The letter was mailed this morning and in tones is similar to the one sent by the Disabled Veterans of the World War few weeks ago. It is signed by committee consisting of S. Hellberg as chairman, E. Hanson and NJ. F. Andrews.
 The letter follows:
 'The Chairman of Community Chest
 of City of New Britain. Dear Sir:--
 We regret to read in the daily press of your refusal to allow the Army to participate in the uIlNt WHiIil ii oui op'' ion would indicate that the members of your committee have very little knowledge of the wonderful work of this organization.
 We suggest that you secure this from the men who have cause to be thankful for efforts of this organiza ton and the members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars stand ready at any time to give you first hand of the work and generosity ,f the Salvation Army, which knowl- edge could only be acquired in the reaches and muddy fields of France md Belgium and not on the streets ,f New Britain.

Buys Talcott Residence at Grove Hill and Will Erect Three New
 Blocks.

George A. QuigIey today purchased the J. F. Talcott residence at the cor ner of West Main street and Grove hill, through the Watson X Jones real estate agency.

Work on the first will be undertaken at once, excava- tions being made on the West Main street side near the residence of Dr. E. T. Fromen. It is planned later to build similar structure at the cor ner and a third on Grove hill.
 The plot of land extends 272 feet on West Main street and 149 feet on Grove hill. The residence is one of the finest in the city,
