FISH ToWN.-Times wore lively and business
brisk at Fish Town this morning. Purchasers
from the country we're numerous, and the arrivals
OF vessels from the landings frequent. Packers
have also commenced operations, and many
fish have been put in tho salt watts. The glut
herring arc beginning to arrive, and the catch
OF branch herring at the lower shores is conse-
quently diminishing.
Notwithstanding its bad beginning, the fab
cry Of 1868 will, it is now thought, have a
successful termination. For quotations see
fish market. "
In reference to the North Carolina fishery,
the Norfolk j ournll says:
Eve learn from an entirely reliable source;
that up to this time the fishermen of North
Carolina have done poor busienss The in
sessant rains and the high winds have interior
ed With their operating, and up to this time
but little has been done. 10 give our readers
some idea of the practical results 30 lar, we
would state that the largest fisherman on the
sound took more herrings at one haul last sea
son than he has caught in tho forty five days
he has been fishing this season. A short crop
generally brings high prices, and with this
fact the North Carolina fishermen must console
themselves. - - .....-., +; |!
TO show further the scarcity of fish, We
would mention that eight hundred shad and
four thousand herrings we're considered a good
haul. But rs they still have some working
days left them We trust that ''luck" may turn,
and before tho season ends give them plenty or
fish,"
