FUR EXPORTATIONS
TO CANADA REACH
EQUALS HALF OF ENTIRE DOM
INION PRODUCTION; U. S.
CHIEF EXPORTER
WASHINGTON, March 12. (/P)—
Canada, despite Its own large pro
duction of furs, is also an importer
of furs, chiefly from the United
States, according to an announcement
issued by the Department of Com
merce. The imports from the United
States in 1926 amounted to nearly
$7,000,000 equal to about half the
total Canadian production, says the
announcement.
The factory value of fur goods pro^
duced in Canada during 1925 was
$14,000,000 representing an increase
of 15 per cent over 1924, states a re
port to the Department from Trade
Commissioner Lynn W. Meekins,
, Ottawa. The principal gain was in
the manufacture of women’s fur coats
and jackets, which increased in num
ber from 40,000 to 49,000, and in val
ue from $6,800,000 in 1924 to $8,400,
000 in 1925. This one item in 1925
| represented 59 per cent of the total
[ production value of the industry. All
[• other items, except women’s fur
| lined coats and jackets, fur felt and
| velour increased in 1925.
j The number of establishments en
i gaged in the fur goods industry in
I Canada in 1926 was 218, the same as
i
i in 1924. The capital invested in the
i
i industry was $10,400,000 compared
1 with $9,900,000 in the preceding year.
| The number of employes was 2,000
and salaries and wages paid amount
ed to $2,800,000. The total cost ot
materials used in 1925 was $8,000,000
comprising raw' fur skins worth
$2,000,000, dressed fur skins valued
at $5,000,000, and miscellaneous mat
erials consisting of linings, trimmings
etc., worth $2,000,000. The total in
crease in cost of materials over 1924
was $1,000,000. The principal kinds
of fur skins used in fur dressing in
dustry in 1925 w'ere muskrat, rabbit,
squarrel, skunk, Persian lamb, and
oppossum.
In addition to its domestic indus
try, Canada has an extensive foreign
trade in furs, imports during the
calendar year 1925 having amounted
to $9,767,000, chiefly undressed fur
skins from the United States ($6,562,
000.) In the exports valued at $17,
431,000, the outstanding items wrere
undressed beaver, fox, muskrat and
mink skins sent to the United States
and the United Kingdom, the former
country talcing about 55 per cent of
the to.tal and the latter about 35 per
cent.
