NBw BEDFORD, Jan. 15.-The past year

trouble. The fleet now numbers 125 yes
sels of all Glasses hsiling from Atlantic
ports against 1873 year sgo, and 10 from
San Francisco against eight last year.
The number OF vessels engaged in sperm
whaling has been considerably reduced,
owing to the low prices of oil, while on
account Of the volume OF whale bones

vessels to the Arctic ocean and other

The indications point to q steady In
crease in the number OF vessels sailing
from Atlantic ports, and perhaps small
