PENOBsCor.
The annual meeting of the Maine Unita-
rian Conference will be held AT Castine, Oct
End. Sd, and 4th.
Prospects for next winters numbering on
Penobscot waters are already being discussed
by those interested, and that includes thou
sands. The cut of 1928 was large-about
l60, 600, 900 feet-which with 40, 0OO, 600 feet
of old logs, carried the total stock, at the
beginning of the season, up to about
2OO, O0O, 900 feet. OF this, about $50 900
900 feet or l55, 600, 600 will have been
shipped before the opening Of another
season, leaving 4 reserve stock of about the
same proportions as that Of this year. The
demand for manufactured lumber has been
generally steady this season, and prices have
ruled shade higher than those of 1882.
The operators and manufacturers have nearly
all been successful "a few of the latter were
somewhat crippled by heavy fres) and will
probably conduct business on a generous
scale next winter. Some of the Provincial
operators think that the cut on st. John and
ArOostook waters will be much smaller than
for several years past on account Of serious
depression in the United Kingdom and Con-
tinental markets.

AT LARGE.
There is a decided improvement in the fish
trade. Orders for mackerel have been com.
ing in quite freely during the past week, and
notwitbs landing the increased receipts stocks
in dealers hands are materially reduced. The
shore feet landed II, 900 barrels at the various
outports for the week closing Saturday, but
all were quickly disposed of at an advance
on previous prices. The fishing season is
rapidly drawing to close, and there is little
prospect of a much larger catch, though the
vessels which arrived early in the week
brought in large fares. At the high prices
now ruling the lucky vessels are doing we'll,
and some Of them will realize large sums for
the seasons work, but the great bulk of the
fleet are still without a catch and the average
earnings will be very small. The quantity
of mackerel landed by the New England fleet
L oil ports for the week was IL, 1903 barrels
against 5000 barrels for same week in 1882
and Il, 23s barrels in 1881.
There has been q short supply of nearlv all
kinds of fresh fish during the week, and deal
ers found considerable difficulty in filling or
ders.
