One of the results of the Russian
japanese war is that raw furs are
cheaper this season. 1t will take
some time for the drop in the price
of raw furs to affect the retail sale
of the manufactured product, but the
public are already beginning to get
the benefit in reductions made in an
ticipation.
Russia is one of the largest fur
buying countries. Canada and British
North America send abroad their sur
plus OF raw furs beyond what the
American market will take. The
United States, except for some pro
duction in Alaska, imports almost all
OF the expensive furs which are used
here. Smaller furs, like muskrats,
raccoons, skunks and opCssums, are
produced in large numbers in the
United States. and a great part of
them is exported.
