Fur trade means the market for pelts. Pelts are the animal skins with the fur still on them.
Beaver fur fibers, by itself, is used for making felt hats but that is a small portion of the overall trade. Sometimes the entire animal is utilized in some form so that nothing is wasted. For example, farm-raised mink also produce a very nice oil which is used in cosmetics. And a trapper will enjoy a beaver steak from the beaver he has hunted and caught. Otherwise they dispose of the bodies and just use the fur.
