The vagaries of feminine taste in furs were mentioned at the monthly meeting of the South Canterbury Acclimatisation Society, when a letter was received from Mr. F. Cain, Peel Forest, suggesting that black and brown opossums should be killed out and blues and greys introduced into the district. He said that the price of the black and brown skins gave a poor return to the trapper. The chairman. Mr. J. McDonald, said that the blues and greys were in demand just now. but otic could not say how soon the women’s taste in furs might alter and theblacks and browns would again be in demand.
