RABBITSKINS
SALE AT WELLINGTON At the first rabbitskin sale of the 1938 season at Wellington yesterday the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., and Dalgety and Co., Ltd., submitted a medium-sized offering. The quality of the skins, as is customary with the opening sale, was not of a very high order, comprising mostly summer grades and a large percentage of stale skins. In view of the unsettled state of the overseas market buyers were operating with caution and prices for grades other than fresh-ly-caught skins were on a. comparatively low basis. For the few lots of winter sorts offered, however, satisfactory values were obtained. Incomings brought up to 39d; early winters, to 52d; and winter bucks to 60d. Although these prices qre considerably below those ruling last year, they indicate, if maintained, that trapping will again be a payable proposition.
