There has been little variation in the
fish market from conditions heretofore
prevailing. Catches in southern waters
by the mackere1 fleet have been con-
spicuous by their infrequency, and it is
nearly time for the Cape shore season
to begin, which means that the maclzere1
seiners now on their fruitless cruise will
SIOFCly return nome TO pfepdfS 1OT Tie
campaign in these waters.
What few mackere1 have come to the
market have brought fancy prices. A
few have been shipped from Cape Cod,
and some have arrived from the south
They are all good, fat fish, running on an
average of two pounds apiece in weight
Fresh mixed fish have been in ample
receipt, footing up 1,168,S50 pounds for
the week. Quotations on cod and other
ground fish, therefore, have been more
favorable to purchasers.
Cured fish are steady and not ma
terially changed in value. Receipts
have been plentiful in some lines, and the
general tone of the trading is COM
Portable, with tendency to softness in
a few directions.
Advices from Ireland indicate that
! there is little encouragement to be
found in that direction for the salt
mackerel trade. In the New York mar
ket and here the few mackerel on hand
are held for good prices. Tt is reported,
however that some new Irish, to arrive,
have been bid for around SIG.
The receipts Of fresh mixed fish for the
week at Gloucester have been the 1arg-
est of the season, aggregating 100000
pounds, as against 1, 155, 900 pounds land
ed in Boston.
