Elephant tusks from African Jungle are now being collected in a London dock warehouse in readiness for the first of this year's ivory sales.

They will be auctioned

sale will attract buyers from all over Europe and pus- sibly bidders for the American market.

Prices for elephant tusks will probably range from £50 to
