RABBITSKIN MARKET
SALE AT DUNEDIN. PRICES FIRM. IBy Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, July 30. There was a large attendance of exporters, furriers, and the local trade at today's rabbit skin auction, when an approximate offering of 64 tons was submitted. Competition was excellent, all sections of the trade being interested. Good orders were again on the market for New York, and New Zealand furriers operated on lots suitable for their requirements. It was noticeable that as the sale progressed the market firmed, values on furrier sorts being slightly better, as compared with previous quotations. Bucks on the average sold at par, while does were at par to a shade firmer. Hatters’ descriptions sold particularly well, and advanced on the average 2d to 4d per lb. Some nice parcels of winters were offered through catalogues, but from now on the quality of skins will be going off, because of the mildness of the season. First bucks sold to 123 d. second bucks to 117 d, first early bucks to IOOd, and first does to 85Jd.
