SUSQUEHANNA FISHING.
Statements that the Fyke and Pound
Nets Have Been RuinOuS.

\ fishing trip in the upper bay in the
vicinity Of Spesutia Island rather discon-
certed Baltimore visitor recently because
OF the meagre results from locality where
a few years ago big white perch could he
caught by the hundreds.
What few were taken on the recent trip
were so small that the question was asked
what had wrought such wonderful change
in the fishing, There was IA ready answer,
and quite fund of information was elected
such as might attract the attention of tile
Game and Fish Protective Association.
1t is stated that hundreds of thousands
of small white perch-too small to be
marketable-as we'll as similar numbers of
other species, such as suntish, yellow perch
and other good fishes are yearly destroyed
by methods of fishing at the headwaters of
the Chesapeake. These methods are already
prohibited by an act Of the Legislature,
which seems to be without force or enforce
ment.
Several old Havre de Grace fishermen
who were questioned deplored the condi-
tions, and said the worst feature of the
detrimental fishing in their waters includes
the use of the hoop or fyke net, means
which is denominated lazy one and
wholly improper. The nets, which accord
ing to law should have meshes of not less
than three inches, have more often two and
half inch or smaller meshes. They are
funnel shaped and about eight feet long by
about five feet across the mouth, with a

The Philadelphia Stockholder Of yester-
day says: "The announcement that the
Steel Rail Makers association (Which is
pool to control prices and output of
steel rails in this country had advanced
prices to $4 per ton, to take effect on or
before July l, attracted favorable COM
ment on Saturday. 1t was generally con-
ceded that the advance was due to an in
crease Of railroad orders and an appreca-
tion in raw material The Cambria Iron
company was the first to be credited with
demanding the advance, and while officials
of the company declined to make any
statement regarding the matter, it is given
on good authority that s24 per ton is now
the ruling price for the company.
The new president, Mr.. Hopkins, of the
New York, Susquehanna and Western
Railroad company, is about 50 years old,
and entered the railroad business in 1867.
After serving as an operating officer Of
several small roads. he was made vice
president and general manager of the
Wabash railroad in 1876. From that year
until 1889 he served as an executive Of
hcer Of the various roads in what was
known as the Gould system He Is at
present the receiver of the Chicago and
Northern Pacific Railroad company.
Some idea of the decreased cost of rail-
road maintenance since the war can be
gained by a review Of the decline in steel
rails. In 1868, the first year of their manu-
facture, the average selling price was
$15S.50 per ton. During this time iron rails
average H07s. During the past ten years
combinations of one kind and another
have kept the prices proportionately above
the values Of other iron and steel products.
In the table which follows is given In dol

rails during each year over the period

Grangers, Vanderbihs. Louisville and
