Fur fashions rise as seal trade tightens demand and prices
In a London backed forecast and local notes from Indianapolis furriers, seal remains top tier despite a small catch this season.

Monkeys, astrakhan, mink and otter follow seal with capes leading, the mudoon scarf growing popular among young ladies. The trade outlook predicts higher prices next year amid brisk demand but ample stock.
