according to advices received by the
Department of Commerce from the
American Consulate at London. Un
dressed rabbit and seal skins showed
large declines.
Activity was apparent in British
foreign trade in fuurs during the first
six months of 1927; although the num
ber of undressed rabbit skins import
ed was less by about 4,500,000 than the
17,944,954 of the first half of 1926, sup
plies of other undressed furs rose by
2,600,000 to 16,538,714.
Dressed rabbit skins imported in
creased by well over 1,000,000 to 5,
430,690 and unenumerated dressed
furs by half a million ot 4,975,679.
Sealskins, however, boftti undressed
and dressed, recorded heavy declines.
Exports of undressed fur skins rose
6,000,000 to 37,298,668, Belgium taking
not much under 7,000,000 more than in
1926, and unnamed countries 600,000
more, but to the United States there
was a decrease of 1,000,000 and over.
Exports of dressed furs were also
more numerous, owing to larger ship
ments to unenumerated countries, the
increase amounting to 340,000, but
there was a decrease in the number
exported to the United States of 39,000.
Exports of undressed fur skins
showed a slight expanision in rabbit
skins and an increase of 840,000 in un
enumerated sorts, sealskins, however,
declining sharply. In dressed furs re
exported there was a noteworthy
growih, rabbit skins totalling 2,456,000

Co., which vessel sailed for the West
ward last evening, upon reaching Seat

voyage, will set sail for Spokane, Wo.,

“This does not necessarily mean
you folks will not see my cherubic
countenance some more,” he remark
ed, “for I expect to be back on the
Alaska run next year.”
Mr. Dorrance has been running to

long now that he could almost quali
fy as an experienced pilot. He has
been one of the most efficient of pos
tal clerks in the Alaskan service and
this fact is testified by many of the
local business, firms. It is the wish
of his many friends that when he does
come back he will return as chief
mail clerk on one of the best of the
fleet of Alaskan vessels.
