BIC CATCH OF FUR i
ANIMALS PROMISED

The trade In Louisiana furs this sea-
son promises to be prosperous. Only
sharp break in the market will keep
the product down to q point anywhere
near that of last season. UnfOrtu'
nately, there has always been a. sharp
decline, and the market is yet unset
tied, with a downward tendency. And
yet the prices are much higher than
last year, and there are more tIappers
in the field, SO that fur dealers pre-.
dict that the catch will equal or exceed
the great catch OF 1919. A sharp break
in the market week Or TWO ago. when
prices declined rs per cent, caught
trappers, but most OF the dealers, who
had anticipated something Of the sort.
got from under in time. The manu-
facturers OF New York can make into
garments for the winter furs received
up to December 10, and New Orleans
dealer estimating their holdings at Is
to market before that time, and so dis.
posed of their holdings at remunera.
tive prices.
Trappers, however, believed prices
would still climb and most of them
held their catch, one New Orleans
dealer estimatini their holdings at Is
per cent OF the seasons catch. The do.
cline came with this stock still In their
hands, and they were compelled there.
fore to make the loss. After this sharp
decline there was still disposition to
cut prices, it being said that New York
manufacturers. who make Is per cent
Of the fur garments of the country, had
met and declined to further pay the
high price prevailing. Since the mar.
ket has been unsettled, with some.
What downward tendency, but prices
are still much higher than last year,
and trappers In the field are active
and making fine catches. The princi:
pal marketable furs OF Louisiana are
coon muskrat and mink, all popular
| furs, and New Orleans is the principal
coon fur center Of the country. It IL
notable fact that Louisiana and Ar
kansas contribute fully half OF the coon
skins of the country, and these pelts
are much sought after by the manu-.
facturers.
Louisiana trappers are acquainting
themselves with the provisions of the
amendment to the fur law which per.
mits them to ship their individual
catch out Of the State upon paying In
advance the severance tax of 2 per
cent to the Conservation Department.
The value OF skins naturally varies,
prime skins being worth several times
those of No. grade, but from time
to time the Conservation Department
will fix the prices per fur On the basis
Of q fair average, 80 that trappers
may know exactly what amount of tax
to pay on each of their shipments.
Trappers are applying regularly for
tags for shipments, and 1t is evident
that much Of the catch is being dis.
posed of outside the State, mainly In
st. Louis, but New Orleans dealers say
they have felt no effects of the out
side shipments thus far, perhaps be.
cause the catch has been unusually
heavy. II the new law has affected
local receipts 1t oil, Say the local
dealers, the effect has been inappree!a.
