Then, after prices had started a fairly steep slide, came the final shock. The Russian Government started dumping Sable on the New York market at a price roughly one quarter that which Sable had brought the previous season. Sable is just as suitable, if not more desirable for rich chokers, ete., than any North American fur and the Canadian furs had to give way.

The fur game is a gamble!

Once I had committed myself to the game by the purchase of a considerable amount of fur, rumours beat about me that prices of furs were going down.

Now, when you have something on which it is rumoured the price is going down, the normal human reaction is to get rid of it and let somebody else take the loss in price.

GLoomy PROPHECY

I went in a small boat to a neighbouring town, where there was an old established fur-buyer who paid good prices for furs.

The way of the trapper is rough and dangerous, and not along frequented highways. Here a trapper in the Coast Range walks a natural bridge. A slip aught mean death for a lonely man.
