There seemed an entire lack of interest
in the markets at New York and New

n great measure to the delayed teie-
graphlc communication. outside traders
were unwilling to make purchases while

ported so rreguary, and the spectators
in that market did not care to act ag
excessively on either side until communi-

SUPPLY OF SALT MACKEREL.
There has been some advance on salt

but local dealers are maintaining prices
announced early in the season, which are
about 500 loweC per barrel than last
year. In regard to the supply the New
York Journal OF Commerce says the New
England catch 10 date has been about 100
per cent greater than last year, and in
fact represents the largest catch in point
of the number of barrels packed since
1892 to the same date. Then the catch
was 1851 barrels, while this year the
output so fas as reported Is 1905 harre.s.
In the years intervening the catch for the
corresponding period was l7,SSS barrels IN
1895, 50, 9a2 barrels in 1894, and 36,Si, bar
rels In 1893. The number Of FISH sailed
so far this season is not evidence, 1t is
isfactory as In 1892, for the reason that
a large quantity OF the stock prepared
for market was this year composed OF
bulls-eyes and tinkers. while in 1872 the
fish were OF more desirable kinds.
