The New Fish Company Orders All Its
Vessels 10 Land at HOme Hereafter.
The most important move in the history
Of the fishing business in Gloucester,
Mass, was made Monday, when the newly
formed Gloucester Fish company decided
that hereafter all Gloucester vessels should
land there and not in Boston as before The
local men say that on account of this move
Gloucester will be the gamer by many
thousands of dollars, as well as by a mate
rial increase in population. More than 100
fishing vessels are affected by the order
This was expected by some of the Boston
men, but came as a shock 70 most of them
1t is possible that the CIV wharfmen will
meet the move by offering inducements 70
Gloucester shippers 70 continue landing
in Boston In default of this the Boston
men may decide to build fleet of vessels
of their own In this case competition will
be so sharp that there will be little money
in the business for anybody. This order
relates to the off-shore fleet which brings
in fresh fish. Gloucester has long been
the headquarters of the salt fish industry.
Arrangements have been made for sending
the fresh fish by fast trains 70 the large
