FUR MARKETS ENHANCED
Floods have destroyed almost half of the fur-bearing
animals of the extensive submerged areas of Missouri, Ar
kansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana. As a result,
few fur-bearing animals born this spring escaped.
Mink, muskrat and opossum are the chief fur-bearing
animals in the flood region, but there are many others of
importance. This naturally means that Alaska’s catch of
fur will be much enhanced in worth and traders and trap
pers should realize large returns.
