In our advertising columns will be found a
notice from the Inspector General Of Fish Tor
this State, to which we would direct the atten-
tlon ofpackers Of smoked fish, particularly
those in the eastern part OF the State.
The complaints Of purchasers have been loud
and long in relation TO the manner In which
herring have been put up. These complaints
have proved SO just that the Inspector General
has deemed II his duty to notice them-the
standard Of putting up fish in some of the
eastern ports having so deprecated that he
deems It bis duty to strictly enforce the Law ip
regard 70 packing fish. 1t 10 TO be hoped that
attention will be paid 10 this matter by pack
ers andthe standard of Maineb again brought
up 10 what it should be. asfsa
The following extract from circular from
New York house, largely engaged in the
business Of smoked fish, to a arm in this city,
will give some idea of the depreciation Of the
standard Of packing in this State;d
"During the present month 10000 boxes
smoked herring have arrived, mostly Of very
inferior quality. We made large sales at AZ
cents for scaled, 80 cents for No. on condi-
tion that the quality should be good. Nearly
all were rejected because the boxes varied In
size, and were small and not full-in some In
stances not over two-thirds full--the herring
not cured, dry and hard enough to keep long
In stoFe-not properly inspected, and because
No. herring were mixed among the seated
Large lots were resold at 80 and 20 cents
Mdny tots Of good No. herring brought as
high as inferior lots of scaled. Our dealers
consider the proper size for box of herring
seventeen inches long, eight inches wide, five
inches deep, and will not in future accept at
full prices anything under this size.
Hereafter when we quote smoked herring in
this market we wish to be understood as
quoting herring packed in boxes seventeen in
ehes long, eight inches wide, five inches deep
The boxes to be solid full and proper dis
tinction made between scaled and No. her
ring"
All shippers are advised to conform to thu
above standard, as the number Of dealers, witt
will purchase no herring except the best, 4
increasing every day, and there viii. in future
be greater difference in prices between goot
and inferior qualities. sI sis s.iss IS
