Normally castor is sold PT as it comes in, generally there are standing orders for castor. My understanding is that the #1 grade castor was sold PT a while ago when prices/demand were still good and sold for good money. Currently the castor market has stalled.
Expect castor price to be significantly lower going forward as there will likely be an army of beaver trappers sprouting from the ground. This is what the felt trade needs, but the pressure will come off of castor price.
