| The advance in prices of furs this
season made by fur dealers in the
country has been an impetus for many
an old time hunter to re-enter the
game Of hunting and trapping, as prices
this season for furs are Is and 20 pei
cent higher than those Of last year
/ The fur business in Vermont thus fan
has exceeded that Of previous years ant
| it is very likely it will continue so fol
the rest of the season Thousands Of
dollars worth of furs have passed
through the Burlington Rendering co.,
station in the past few months ani
thousands more are expected before the
season closes. The most noticeable ad
vance in furs was that Of skunks
muskrats and foxes. All black skunk
skins, frequently found in the state Of
New York but less frequently in Yer
mont, brought to the trapper samt
checks of So and IS apiece for these
! hides With muskrats, usually valued
at rs cents, the price doubled this sea
son to $3.50 and with fox furs, which
are always scarce during the early part
Of the winter, q noticeable increase is
paid.
