Fur Market Booming

A.B. Shubert of Chicago, one of the greatest fur dealers on the American continent, in a letter to this paper in which his company now carries an ad- vertisemeut, says be has just returned to Chicago from visiting all the large fur markets of the United States and that the fur industry is enjoying one of the biggest booms in history. Among other things Mir. Shubert says:
 Notwithstanding the European war, the war talk at home and the uuceasing efforts of great many large manufac. turers to depress the market, the uu- usual large collection of Northwestern furs has been marketed at much higher price than the trappers and dealers could reasonably expect. It is really remarkable how we'll our western market has stood up under the pres sure of the adverse conditions sur rounding it. Stocks in the hands of dealers in the primary markets are small, and small collectors and dealers in the country are practically sold out. Receipts at all primary markets are large for this time of the year. Should business with our manufacturers be as good this fall as they anticipate it will toe from the quantity of early orders tbat they are now receiving indicates It will be, they will find no difficulty in disposing of the entire output of their factories and will toe obliged to come into the market for further purchases of raw material"
