sIo CATCH OF FUR
ANIMALS PROMISED

The trade in Louisiana furs this sea-
son promises to be prosperous. Only a
sharp break in the market will keep
the product down to q point anywhere
pear that OF last season. Unfortu-
nately, there has always been 8 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 trappers
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 a 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

tive prices.
Trappers, however, believed prices
would still climb and most of them
held their catch, one New Orleans
dealer estimatini their holdings at rs
per cent OF the seasons catch. The de-
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, 1t 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 a 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. 1t Is
q notable fact that Louisiana and Ar
kansas contribute fully half Of the coon
skins of the country, and these pets
are much sought after by the manu-
facturers.
Louisiana trappers are acQuainting
