Not according to the Wealth rules of HW, specifically based on bartering.
"The normal way of trading is to barter goods (or services) for items of equal wealth, rather than selling them and accumulating the wealth." HW:RiG p. 37.
Wealth is produced by farms, herds, mines, distilleries, thievery, beggary, and other such sources of income. Pelts and beads hardly qualify IMO.
