{LIRE SKiNS.--Dumfries has been long cele.
Waited as the great mart fur hare skins, and we ale
happy to state, that the trade in this article appears
to be reviving. Last year, while the quantity
brought to market was very inconsiderable, the
juice was ►o low as 72.. per &sea ; but this )ear
the price started to 16s. and 175., and, in the course
of .the week, upwards of forty-eight thousand skins
were disposed of; six thousand of which were in the
hands of one individual. Perhaps, however, the
open winter has had .some effect in improving ttse
quality of the skius.—(llarapies Poper.l
