 BID ON FURS Al
 ACC SALE TO-DAY

! One hundred and four lots of furS siezed by Wildlife agenst for game violations were sold here this after noon at a total price of $9,500 50 at public auction conducted by the Alaska Game Commission in the A. B. Hall
 The entire offering was bought by three professional fur buyers; the few timid bids from private would be buyers in the group of nearly 50 spectators being lost in the rapid fire offers from the dealers.
 First lot up for sale consisted of eight and one-half beaver pelts that drew an opening offer of $200 and were sold to Seattle buyer S. F. Co., hen for $3O5.
 Highlight of the sale came when enc lot containing 26 marten and one weasel was put up. Throughout, marten had brought the most spirit ed response from the buyers. That lot, No. 48, went to another Seattle buyer, Adolph Thompson, for $1 ,635 Thompson, in all, bought two- thirds of the fur value offered. He took lot No. 48, however, only after being closely pressed by local deal CT Charles Goldstein who had pre- viously bought all the marten put up.
 Thompson also was high bidder on blanket auction of 100 beaver skins. That group was knocked down to the Seattle man by Auctioneer Lance Hendrickson at $3,370.
 The lowest winning bid was made by Goldstein, for one tanned black bear skin. The average price paid for beaver-which comprised tho bulk of the offering-approximated $35. Marten pulled an average price per pelt in the neighborhood of $70
