Mackerel are rarely shyer than they
have been thus far this season. About
a dozen vessels have gone south, but
their quest for schools of new fish has
thus far been fruitless.
A few specimens have come to mar
ket from the traps on the southern
coast of New Jersey. The few thus
taken were good large fish, weighing
about two pounds apiece.
General trade in fresh fish is rather
light. Receipts of fresh cod and had
dock have been ample for all demands
since the close of the Lenten season, and
good-sized lots have been sold to the
splitters and curers at low prices.
Available arrivals are given as 1885,
800 pounds, about 100000 being haddocB
and 100000 Goldfish, from which it may
be inferred that other varieties have
been in light supply.
Fresh alewives are plenty from Cape
| Cod and have sold at fair prices.
In cured fish there is little animation
The market is about steady, with re-
ceipts of mackerel slim and quotations
rather firm, and salt cod and other
| cured ground fish just holding their
own. Smoked herring are steady and
| sardines and canned Holsters hold W
very well in values.
There have been no receipts of sal
| mackerel at this port during the past
| week. Usually some Irish mackerel put
in an appearance on the Atlantic steam
ers, but this week is an exception.
Sardines are firm. The combination
| or sardine trust, as II is called. is
| strongly intrenched and business in this
| line is quite good. For a oils the quo
| tation is S2.70Q2.S0 cs, while q mustards
bring $2.75.
