The GAME TRADE OF CHICAGO.

There are in Chicago about dozen Wholesale
Arms, by whom hunters are Kept in regular employ
ment to furnish them with game or every Sort from
the buffalo the .bar down to the squirrel or the
snipe, and by whom some hundreds OF retail dealers
all over the city re supplied. In addition to these
there are quite an army Of commission merchants 10
whom game Is consigned from the country, and who
also furnish supplies both to wholesale and retail
dealers, the former resorting to them principally
when they have an emergency to fill up orders from
the East. large body OF men are thus enabled to
follow hunting as an occupation In the Western
states whittier the game is being gradually driven
by the steady advance Of civilization. Many farmers
also engage IN the lucrative sport, taking circuit

months. when = heavy fall OF snow renders them
more easy to be trapped.
The region from which our game dealers obtain
the bulk OF their supplies comprehends the States or
Illinois, Iowa. Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan ana
Indiana. The two Grst named States abound in
prairie chickens Wild ducks and uuails; and those
constitute at this time OF the year. the staple CON-

elusive Of yenson. The shooting season begins In
the middle OF August, but not muchis done CONNER
