Auction Sales

Abstract

"In the April, 1924, issue of this Quarterly, attention was called to Mr. F.M. Hopkins' statement regarding an evident halt in the prices of Western Americana. An examination of the auction prices of the last twelve months proves that his remarks were prophetic. The records for the period yield two very definite conclusions: (1) that the offerings have not been so slight for many years, and (2) that the prices realized have been on the down grade."
