There was a large number of hunters
in this vicinity the past week The re-
port is that there was very little game
secured. \ c. Robinson and Frank Har-
rington got several partridge.
The following taken from a report OF
one of the local fur dealers will be of
interest to the many trappers in this
vicinity: At the London sales just
closed American furs sold as follows:
Martin, lynx, bear and wildcat, 30Go
lower than last March; muskrats. mink.
gray fox. otter and ermine, $50 lower
skunk. fisher, house eat and eson 20Go
lower. Civet cat. oppossum and sbeavers,
sale was disappointment to Shippers
owing to the heavy decline>ons most
ticles The prices which will n interest
trappers here are those quoted on red fox
which is OF this time for New England,
prime, 500 to $4.00 as to size and quality,
and for unprime, 25c. to s40O which also
varies as to the quality of the goods.
The skunk prices given is for prime
black. $500 to $3.50, prime hsdf-stripe.
5000 to s2.25, narrow stripe, Soc to $1.10
and broad stripe, soc. to SOC. and at these
prices it requires prime goods. Unprme

day evening, of his brother. William

One of the best schemes noted lately
by your reporter is the electric lighting
of the meat cart driven by Frank Har-
riman. He has wired his cart so that he
has a light in the front end and one in
the inside, and with the short days it is
a great convenience in peddling The
lights are run on batteries and lie stated
that it was much better than using a lam
tern. The entire cost being but a little
more than 81 and he was of tie opin-
ion that it gave much better light than
could be obtained by the use of Lam
tern.
