The census statistics relating to American
| fisheries are interesting reading. The hgurei
show fisheries To have been worth in the Valut
| OF products the very handsome sum OF $500
UC0 in the year 1880 This was the price, more
| over, that was paid to the producers simply. a.
wholesale prices the pecuniary return for the
same products reached the neat little fortune o.
| 500 600 600. The products included dried coo
and pollock, smoked herring, halibut and null
let picked and spiced fish, salt mackerel canned
salmon, Holsters, clans. o. sters crabs, shrimps
cod and sardines. The consumption of these Ii
constantly increasing abroad and very proh.a
BILE sale for them has been built up in England
France and Germany. As yet ii appears how
ever, The picked fish Of American waters arg
but seldom sent abroad, although great quaint
ties of picked fish are consumed in Europe. !
is recorded that since the Berlin exhibition O
1880 American fish have become popular on thu
continent and agencies for their sale have beer
established in very many of the leading cites II
Europe. Another fact of interest is that bone
less American Goldfish has been adopted as {
standard article Of food by many regiments
the German army. Proof of this great GROWING
popularity of our fish is afforded in the statistics
of exports to Europe. In 1869 the exports OF ilsl
reached only 1874, 7S3, according to local com
mercial journal Last year there was shippet
abroad Sl,02 100 worth OF fishery goods. y
this amount Si0S go was received from the eX
ports of oysters to England alone.
