yet who made his gru! stane,” he
said. !
The shortage at Fore Yukon is
going to have an important market
alfeet, as it is not only the important
fur district in Alaska but is one of
the largest in the world. However,
Mr. Flanigan is not sure there would
have been protit for anyone connected
with the industrf if the take had been
large, as the demand for fur now is
almost niL
The sharp break in the. fur market
followed the stock crash. .Since then
pelts have moved very slowly .and at
prices far below thqse of repent.years.
“The situatio nis dependent upon, the
attitude of business and ability > to.
prevent a depression.”.said Flanigan.
The manufacturers have . canceled
their orders and fur Is piling up in
the storehouses. Fur exchange s«are
not willing to make anjr prediction.on.
the future and no sates* have been ~
held which might give ar clue .to what
will happen. The most the exchanges.
are wiling to do is to pay, all fun prill
