TRAPPERS IDLE:
FUR WAY DOWN
FurS and Hides Seem To Have
Hit BOttOm.-BuyerS
Loaded

Little wonder that our trappers show
no inclination to get busy in the woods
this winter. when you consider the
price Of furs at the present time. And
then. too, they are getting no encour-
agement from the big fur houses; in
fact. two of the leading fur houses of
the country. in st. Louis. have advised
by circular. their patrons in Rusk
county to take UP their traps. on ac-
count Of the low prices of furS.
And the farmer is receiving still less
encouragement than the trapper, in the
marketing of his hides of various
kinds Just note the prices offered
now. in compariOn with those of Il year
ago.
