Big Prices for Sea otter r,

That of the sea otter is of all furs ,b0 most valuable, as high as s1, 100 haying been paid for a single skin. At tbe latest London fur sale sl, ,O5O was paid
 the lower price being due to a poorer quality as the average advance in price this year has been about 15 per cent This seems an extremely large sum to pay for a skin not more than two wards long by three-quarters of a yard wide Russians, however. consider that s25o is not an extraordinary price to pay for a piece sufficiently large to make a coat collar, for which the skin of the sea otter is used, as it is suppo sed to have the property of preventing the breath from freezing.-N.
