LIGHT CATCH OF FURs.
Reports From the North Indicate
That Fine Pelts Are Elk.
remedy Scarce,

That there is going to be a very light
fur catch all through the North this
year seems a certainty, according to
advices just received,
White, black and red foxes are very
much scarcer than ever before, The
beautiful silver fox is entirely miss
ing this year. The richly furred red
fox of the Arctic is also very scarce,
as is also the snowy white fox which
was formerly abundant,
No good lynx skins seem to have
been taken this year, Only few
poor summer skins Of this animal will
be sent to market from here this year.
A trader who deals exclusively in
fox, lynx and ermine skins has just
reached civilization from the Kotze-
bue country In this trip of over 300
miles through what was once the rich
est fur producing region of the Arc
tic he was able to buy only eight fox
skins and very few ermine skins He
visited every Esguimau village and
every detached igloo on his way, Of
fering good prices.
Not only are the finer furs very
scarce, but the trade in polar bear
skins, which has until now been eX-
tensive, Is also affected. Even when
plentiful large polar bear skins, prop
erly dressed, have brought over $500
IN several eastern cities, but these
large skins, which sometimes exceed
II feet in length, are not to be seen
in the Arctic this year,
Nothing is known at present con-
corning the fur situation on the Siber-
ian side, but the catch in Arctic Alas
ka will be less than half Of last year.
