Correspondence New York Post.
    The Hudson’s Bay Company, during the season just past, have made their shrewd and abundant preparations for a successful winter’s trade, and the coming spring, no doubt, will show a corresponding result in a more than average catch.
    The first in point of value is the pine marten, or Hudson’s Bay sable, of which about 120,000 skins, on average, are exported every year.
    The fisher is much like the pine martin, but larger. About 12,000 are annually exported from the territory.
    About 250,000 mink skins are exported every year, most to Europe.
    About 520,000 raccoon skins exported each year.
    Demand for Beaver pelts is low and only 60,000 were exported this year.
    Many hundreds of thousands of muskrat furs are exported each year.
    About 15,000 wolf skins are sold annually.
    About 17,000 Land otter pelts are exported every year.
     There is little demand for skunks but 1,000 are sold per year.
    The skin of the bear-black, brown, and grizzly-is always in demand, and is used for innumerable purposes. The number of bears killed annually is not easily determined, but at a safe average, it may be estimatd at 9,000.
    Buffalo Skins.
    An immense annual export, which cannot properly come under the head of fur, is made by the Company in the shape of buffalo robes. In the Autumn of 1870 the line of forts along the Saskatchewan River, in the plain country, had traded 30,000 robes before the 1st of January; and for every one traded fully as much more in the shape of skins of parchment had been purchased, or consumed in the thousand wants of savage life. The number of buffaloes annually killed in this territory seems incredible; 12,000 are said to fall by the blackfeet alone. The forts of the Company are yearly filled with many thousand bags of pemmican, and to each bag two animals may be counted.
