FISHERIES REPORT.
Some Interesting Figures Submitted
by Mr. George Nj. bowers.

by Mr. George Nj. bowers.
Washington. Nov. 1G.-The annual re-
port of the United States commissioner
of fish and fisheries Mr.. George NJ
Bowers, says that the present amount of
capital invested in the fisheries of the
New England states is Sf9,637, ,036 show
ing decrease Of SI37.75S since the COM
missions last statistical canvass in 1889.
his decrease. however, is stated 10 be
only apparent, beng caused chiefly by
the transfer Of the menhaden industry to
New York.
The New England food fisheries in the
aggregate have increased in quantity and
decreased only slightly in value. There
are 3j.445 persons employed in this work
ard 1,421 vessels valued, with their
equipment, at St224 ,339. The total prod
uct is 393,355,570 pounds, worth $9672,-
l02, the fishery for cod, cusk, haddock.
hakc and pollock ranking first with
value of S2,T9S.l09, followed by the oys-
ter fishery Of Rhode Island and Com
necticut, worth S1.910.GSi.
Tho lobster fishery is next in commer-
cial Importance. being worth $1,276900.
While the catch has fallen from 30.j00,-
600 pounds in 1889 to l4,5G0000 in 1898.
the price of Holsters has so advanced
that ,hc value Of the industry has in
creased corresponding degree.
On Lake Ontario, whore for several
years there has been decided falling off
in the commercial fisheries, there was
found to be material Improvement, the
yield being nearly three times as great as
in 1897, and il would appear that the ef-
feet of the hsh cultural operations which
have been conducted here are beginning
to be felt. The number Of persons en-
gagged and capital invested are also pro-
portionately greater. The yield in 1899
amounted TO nearly 100000 pounds,
valued at over 100000.
