It would ssem from this that topography bas something to du with taste. ‘The prices of furs remain the aame as last year, with the exoeption of mink, which has depreciated fully twea- ty per cent. Three causes operate to produce this effest: ®@greator catch of mink than ugual, the opening up of ‘now sources of supply, and the costliaess of the article, which tends to exclude it from the European marke}, aud Coasequently to overstock our own. ‘The preseut threatening aspect of public affsirs at home bas notas much effect on the fur business as on other manufacturing intorests more iatimately connect! with the South, for in those sunay rogious thore is not much demand for fara at aay time; thelr mtid, short winiers can be eutured without them, and any emporary intorraption of basioess with that avo tion of the country must fall lightly on tais branch of our industrial interests. Charleston is about the extrene Southern }im!t of the trade io manufactured furs sad outfs and victorines, the only gods ordored for the Southern market. The amount sent Soulh \s, therefore, greater in quantity than in value, and a falling off in the demand would not beof vital consequence Still |! would be foit, aad the present Crisis bas left its mark, slight though it be, on the fur trade of New York. The estimation fo whioh the different mpectes of furs are held i found by looking over the prices domanded for them. The market valve te the only real value, For what's the worth of auythtog, But jast eo muoh as it will bring? Taking this postical aud practical viow of the subject, and jadging by thinra!bor heterogenoun platform of pootry sable is the mort desirable of all possessions io the for way. It costs fromtro thousand to two thou. sand five bun ired dollars a ret, sai sometimes over that figure. Wo do pot wonder, therefore, that to obtain pos- seesion of such a very protty ploce of property should arouse the moet slamborire ambition. The most listicss lady might become energetio under the influence of such & potent stimuios, There is a possibility of procuring this {ur at a much more reasonable prico—say one thon. | sand doilars—but of course it is not tho firet rate article. | Hudson Bay sable rangos from two hundred to elght han dred dollara a and lea wory somoh admired fur. OF course we see more of the American varioty of this little animal than we do of its Siberian relative, the price of tho latter placing is beyond tho reach of all save the sithiers. Next comes the mink, tho most popular of all the diferent varictics of this iadispensadie winter luaury. To the rich, dark glioesiness of ite far, al- most rivaling the beauty of the sable, it joims the very important advantage of com- parative cheapness, @ set of this fur being procurabie for prices varying from seventy five to two hundred dol Jars The ermine, the regal and judicial far of Europe, can be bought for seventy five dollars, and from that up to one hapdred and fifty. Its color makes it more suita- bie for balls, operas and festive scenes than for the Street, from which, bowever, it is not wholly exiled. ‘Stone marten, job le pot so much worn as heretofore, varies from one hundred and twenty #ve to one handred anc fifty, and fitch from fifty to seventy five dollars. The mixed squirrel is a very pretty aad becoming fur, especially for children, to whom it seems by common consent a monopoly of this ani miniver bas been grant od. The gray squirrel is ry eover, sedate looking fur, ) aod we wore not at all astonished to dad that it ts in great demand and bigh favor among our Quaker population. It is juat the fur that a sense of the fitness of things would point out for them.
