In a version of 1846 W. STURGIS' Northwest Fur Trade in B. C. Busch & B.
M. Gough eds. Fur Traders from New England (1997) 96, referring to 1804:

"the first question was, if he had "clicks," (the Indian name for the
ermine skin) for sale"

I assume that's a Jargon word. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks, Alan
