Estimate of Total Sales of Eight
Million Dollars Materially
Increased.
ST. LOUIS. Mo., Jan. 27. (Special.)
Looking back over the first six days
of the scheduled nine days' of
the largest fur sale the world ever has
seen conducted as a single fixed event
and under one roof. Colonel P. B.
Fouke said he believes the entire trade
is satisfied with results. An essential
basis of prices has been established.
From 75 to 80 per cent of the season's
catch is now in dealers' hands.
The slight decline of prices in sev
eral furs during the week past shows
that the fur trade has taken initiative
in lowering of prices which readjust
ment .of business and of price values
after the war will inevitably bring. No
decline was large enough to affect the
market as a whole; and must be taken
as indication of future business condi
tions, rather than any upsetting or up
heaval in the trade right now.
The remaining three days of the sale
include over 1,000.000 muskrats, 300,
000 opossum. 220.000 skunk. 24.000
beaver. 130,000 raccoon, 134,000 nutria
and about 60 pages of supplementary
catalogue covering almost every fur
catalogue. Sales already amount to
slightly over $6,000,000; and the orig
inal estimate of an $8,000,000 sale will
be increased by some 10 to 15 per cent.

The Liprrian-Wolfe business year is faced tomorrow by a strong organization, with mind
and will set to accomplish objectives as carefully planned and mapped out as is the ocean within
the range of the guns of Fort Stevens.
