Wild and Living Merchandise.

It Is an immense business, this buy
ing and selling Of animals caught fresh
from the jungle. In New York alone
there are ten firms dealing in wild ami
mails, to say nothing Of the foreign
dealers, the Hagenbecks for instance,
who send wild beasts here. The de-
mand exceeds the supply by wide
margin. Nearly all the great cities in
the country possess public menageries
which constantly buy wild animals;
Quixotic individuals frequently want
cubs Of one kind or another, ranging
from tigers to bears; many wealthy
Americans maintain private geological
parks of greater or less extent and
the scores Of large circus companies
must be constantly supplied because
Of the high death rate among their
animals. The record Of imports Of one
4animal dealer for the past year Is
twenty elephants, thirty-five camels,
twenty tigers, Ave lions, forty-f1ve
leopards, twenty pumas, eighteen
panthers and any number Of small
animals and birds.
Cubs-tiger, lion, leopard and bear
cubs-are in special demand by fam
lilies. They are reared and petted
like kittens, but they invariably come
back to the dealers at a quarter Of
what they sold for, or even as gifts.
One eloquent letter which dealer re-
Gently received from a woman who
