RABBIT SKIN MARKET.
J. H. Kirk and Co., Don street, Invercargill, report as follows: We are exceedingly sorry to advise our country friends of a further all round drop of Id per lb at the periodical sales held in London last Friday. We are sorry for ourselves and our fellow exporters because this-, decline, coming as it does, after so many others, means a serious loss to us, and sorry also for rabbiters and other sellers of skins because they cannot now hope for more than average prices this year. As our business is; mainly done on order for the manufacturers we are not altogether at the mercy of the: London buyers, and in the present instance have no intention of reducing the already low values. There is now not the least hoper of gaining any advantage by keeping bade skins, and we advise sellers to send them, tc* market without delay. Our prices will be found to be better on the average than those ruling in Dunedin. Autumns are worth 7d to B|d; and latest caught, lOd free of all charges, bags supplied gratis.
