Bradey and Timmerman, investiga- ting the recent explosion, and before leaving decided to dispense with the acetylene plant installed last June and to adopt gass in its place. The necessary arrangements were made wi‘h the Owen Sound Electric and! illuminating Company, and this; morning Mr. Parker commenced the work of making connections The C. P. R. is to be congratulated on its wisdom in not taking any further chances on acetylene, which will greatly relieve all anxiety on the part of their employees. The sheds, paasenger depot, landing steward’s office and docks. etc . will therefore soon be illuminated with gas and the danger from explosion reduced to the minimum.-â€"-O. 3.

Mink has reached “hat may bel «'allvd an old-time limit. It ts twvn-l t.y-five years at least Since the prrs-l en: quotations [,nevatled We would 5 not deny that. mink is a very pretlyi and effective skin; nvvertheless it. comes almost as a shock to men in. the trade to note that the same stuff' which two years ago almost wentl begging. is now. especially during the last two months. being rushed for in all the markets of the contin-t ent.

Notwithmanding this. we' would advise purchnSm-s to Le \‘Pl‘yl cautious how they buy at present ‘ prices. Such a price as $4 or $5) for 1 a single mink skin is really beyond the. reach of the average consumer.) We are Speaking now, of course. of: the local demand; 11ml; of the great; markets of the world is a very differ-ll ent mm ter. 'l‘his fur is being largely ' used to trim the collars and lapels of Persian lamb jackets. l Red fox dovs not at the moment. \presmn any very special feature in Iregard to value». Perhaps it is hard- ly likely to rule so high as last year. when there was some excitement in connection with it. Probably. how- ever, it will prove a tolerably steady selling skin. The demand for Persian lamb in all fur-consuming countries has beenl unprecedentedly large. To-day’s‘ values are easily 2?) per cent. higher than those of three months ago. In addition to this. the fact must be noted that none now remain in firet‘ hands. All the skins being ofi‘ered to-day in Russia are the result of; mixed collections, so that not only are prices much higher but the qualio by is lower. Under these circum- stances as regards qualitv and quota- tions, it is difficult to make a comparative analysis of actual values. ’ With regard to Astrachans too, values have made a serious advance during the past season ; from ‘25 to 80 per Cent. is a conservative eStimate. As for seals, the late sales in Lon- don left values practically unchang- ed. except. in Lo'oos Islands skins. which declined ‘20 per cent, but as this is just about equal to the advance they made without due cause last year, it cannot, be looked upon as significant. Alaska seals, it is true, declined about 2 per cent. on all grades, and Northwest about?) per cent., but in bath these classes there , was a large proportion of shot seals, l which made the value less. So that l this decline cannot be looked upon as Ian actual reduction in price. The above are the principal furs in the market. and other kinds of minor importance will no doubt show changes in value in sympathy with these.
