Sept. 18. Thirteen thousand muskrat skins were sold at $2.12 apiece at a re cent fur sale held at The Pas. This Is the highest price muskrat ever brought and means that the musk rat-skin coats so popular in winter among women of moderate means will be much more expensive this season than they ever were before. The following prices for other furs were paid at the sale: Silver fox, $525; white fox, $56; blue fox, SB6; beaver, $22.66; otter, $33.25; mar ten, $42; mink, sl4 lynx, $35; bear, S2O; fisher, $80; red fox, $35; cross fox, S7B. Most of these prices are higher than those of last year. One of the surprising develop ments of the fur trade has been the increase of beaver skins now being thrown on the market. Beaver once filled the streams of Canada and in the palmy days of the Hudson Bay and Northwest companies were the country's chief source of wealth. They were trapped so extensively that only a few years ago they seem ed threatened with extinction. Un der protective laws, they have again become populous. Six hundred and twenty persons took out licenses to trap beaver last year. According to the report of Chief Game Guardian Barber, $30,000 was collected in hunting and trapping licenses in Manitoba.
