one, of the two New York houses that
have refused to join the loan pool and
continue to do business independently.
The expectation of American grain,

turn out a hundred bags an hour,

The whale fishery ON the coast Of
Maine has come to an end. 1t not only

the stencil from the factories at Booth

with bomb lances. While the blubber
Of an Arctic whale is generally two
feet in thickness, that of the hump
backs, which is the species found on
the Maine coast, rarely, if ever. exceeds
three inches. The yield of a hump
back is some twenty to thirty barrels
and is a low grade oil. During the eX-
istence of the industry nearly one
hundred whales have been shot. Three
steamers were employed and nearly
q hundred men. The capital in
vested in steamers, factories. etc, was
100000.
