 ST. LOUIS AUCTION

St. Louis, May "A, (P,-Fifteen
 thousand seal skins were sold at auction for the United States Gov ernment at the International Fur Exchange at prices averaging twen- ty-fve per cent less than those at the last semi-annual auction. The sale totaled half million dollars. The decrease in the prices is at tributed to the general decline in fur prices and prompted the New York buyers to predict an increas- ing popularity for seal skins for garments because of the lower prices. Fifteen hundred skins class ed as logwood brown sold fifteen per cent higher than the previou4 sale because of the rarity of this type. The average price of black skins was thirty-one dollars and thirteen cents. and for brown. forty nine dollars and seventeen cents. with top price of sixty-hve dol lars for both.
