CATCH OF FUR SEALS SHOWS SLIGHT DROP
Higher Prices Will Probably Prevail than Previous
 Iy, at Sale

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-United St ates Fisheries Commissioner Frank T. Bell said that the Gov ernment's 1886 Alaska fur sea catch is 52,446 skins compared tc 57,286 last year.
 This years catch is smaller be- cause of adverse weather condi- tions which forced the Alaska herd to remain farther from shore.
 Commissioner Bell explained that even so, "the 1886 catch is about g. 900 greater than normal"
 The catch will be disposed of at the Governments regular auction in April, 1887, possibly at prices higher than those received last year At this years sale at St. Louis, the skins averaged $2710 apiece com pared to $1135 in 1882, which is ar increase of more than 200 per cent
