LOW PRICES RESULT IN PEACEFUL LIFE FOR OHIO MUSKRATS ' ' (Br Associated Press) PORT CLINTON, 0 Dec 15 The opening of the muskrat season last "reekTallit to irltncss a frenrted msh of pelt hunters as for the last few

i seaspns. The useful muskrat skin.

I from whtch ,'raany of mi-lady's fur

garments are made, and which , when - nlncknil nd itvMl hACnmAl the T)ODU

f lar Hudson Seal, has skidded downward greatly in price this year, according to. early reports from the fur-

trapping sections of the - state, ana trappers are showing apathy in going c-iier me rat pens.

First quotations from the fur dealers give 25 and 35 cents as the price I for early mustrat pelts, the lowest I price in years, it is said. g For a great many years, the average I 9U pelt was around $1.25, and last J: yeer as high as $4.60 a pelt was given by fur buyers. . ' jt Expect Fur Shortage j The prices fit other furs are accordIngly Mow, and veteran trappers are predicting a fur shortage next winter as the result. Some of the early quotations in this district give skunk a pelt jrice of $1.60, while $6 was a common price last year. . I Coon pelts,- it is said, will bring around $2 this year. Last year, $8 and J $10 were, looked for at least One of i the farmers of this section was fortuni ate enough to receive $18.75 for a black mink pelt last season, and the price for the ordinary mink as quoted f bo far, is from $1.25 to $3.50. I However, with the advance of wlnter, prices are expected to react to 'i somewhat higher levels, but the high prices of last year are gone for a long time and perhaps for ever, it is felt. t The muskrat in this section has become one of the most sought after fur

bearing animals. Owners of many 1 tracts of marshlands around here do ' not allow hunting or trapping on their j land, unless for the purpose of rounding up the little rats in numbers for I the market. ! . I Muskrat a Delicacy ! In some localities, the muskrat was i so plentiful last year that even busiit ess men in the towns- would close I shop and spend a few days making some of . the easy money for the highpriced pelts. The carcasses of the i rats are sold in numbers to clubs and i lunch stands and bring from 15 to 25 v. cents each. When properly prepared. j the muskrat is looked upon as a most desirable delicacy. f The volume of business made annur Ally by muskrat trappers is surprising in northwestern Ohio, along the shores , ot Lake-Erie, and Sandusky Bay and 3 the rivers. It has been estimated that Ottawa county alone last year gave up an or than $750,000 of the pelts for the markets. The low prices, which are expected to discourage hunters going in great numbers as for the last few years, is looked upon favorably by many, who figure that trapping next year will be , just that much better."
