NEWS AND GOSSIP FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
AN IMPORTANT PORTLAND INDUSTRY.

hSh business In 1873 the fish trade almost
at stand still. Almost every body dscourag
ed, and it feared that Portland would lose
what II had gained by the hard work of years, and
that she would sink to the level OF fifth class
port Since then, however, the trade has revived,
and now Portland takes rank among the leading
fish ports Of the country. The business that
formerly belonged to Salem Beverly, NeWburv-
port. Cape Cod. PASSPORT, Swanboro and many of
the ports east. has been absorbed here, and the
dealers have been compelled to seek additional
room for their largely increased and daily growing
trade Perhaps one thing n relation to this trade
thar strikes the observer more torcibly than an
other is the gradual taking up of unused wharf
property The firm Of c A Dyer on Custom
House wharf, is an example ct the growth of the
business. Mr. Dyer is comparatively young man
tie was cooper, but wanted to go into the fish
business His father tried to dissuade him and
would not advance him any money. Dyer had
300, and lent 500 OF that capital to somebody
else to 20 lEto business. With the S290 he started
iish packing on small scale, and now his build
ings on Custom House Wharf occupy some 800
feet of land in length and 10 feet in breadth Last
wear he packed % 900 barrels of lnaekerel, and
probably will tar exceed that number this year
which will end in November His fleet q fishing
vessels number sixty sail, with crews averaging
eight to nine men each. 1t is said that this one
firm does half much business Gloucester
Mass. Besides their maekerel packing IN barrels
their canning factory is great institution and the
pay roll of the canning factory alone is 5000 a
week An order for their mackerel was placed in
New ork last week amounting to SO 0e0 in value
This fish finds ready sale at the west whcr, there
IS a great demand for it The Nova Scotia Usher
men send most OF their catch nov over the Inter
colonial road west. and not via Boston.
The firm of Charles y. Themes d Co have late
" given up their old quarters on Commercial
wharf and taken the three large Stores nnOccupied
"e believe since the fire on the wharf some years
agO-tor their business If fish packing they
pack some 5000 or 900 barrels Their old QUAR-
lers have been taken by th, firm Of L q Willard
A 60, II addition TO their spacious buildings on
the same wharf The sales of fish hy this firm
this last year Will probably amount to S7jU.00o
