the decline was even greater.

the most popular, and the one which
shows the most serious shortage, is
probablv the muskrat. Although the
muskrat is very prolific, it is believed

danger that stocks will nowhere near

lowly muskrat may soon enter the
ranks of the most expensive as well
as that of the more popular furs.
