Most of the New York dealers take
their shipments under an agreement
by which theypay sixty per cent. OF the
estimated value TO the shipper OF de-
livery, the balance being paid when
the actual prices are determined by
the results of the public sales IN
this way the small dealers are pro-
vided with current funds instead OF
having to wait six or eight months TO
realize on their consignments. IN
these days the trappers are beng
forced further and further north.
