Sealskin, now so fashionable, can hardly
go out of stylo or use, for notwithstanding
claims to tho contrary tho fur sail is by no
moans llablo to extermination. Tho number
taken in nny ono season is strictly limited to
100,000, nnd tho destruction of fcmnlcs is ab
solutely prohibited. Largo as this figure
may seem, tho number of seals visiting tho
islands in tho season is so largo that it in no
way endangers tho supply, anil merely thins
them down from year to year. It Is it fair
inferonco from these facts that sealskin fura
aro novcr likely to bo ns cheap ns many other
kinds aro. Tho supply does not greatly fluc
tuate from year to year, and tho 100,000
skins annually obtained have to meet tho en
tire demands of tho world's markets. They
may lie moro or less fashionable nt ono tlm
