Traffic in Lobsters.
Portland and Rockland Now Control the
Market.


Market.
The Boston dealers are not feeling yery
much encouraged by the present condition
Of trade, says the Fishing Gazette. Stock
has been scarce and high, and the past sum-
mer has not been a profitable one Condi-
tlonS Will not improve until the Nova Scotia
Holsters make their appearance. At present
the dealers can hardly get stock enough to
fill their orders. They cannot compete at
this time of the year with the Portland and
Rockland dealers.
At Portland the dealers are not filling
all their orders, for the stormy weather has
kept the fishermen from bringing in stock
Fishermen are getting higher prices this
year by Sc. and &c. each than last year,
when they were 10c. and 12c. each. 1t is
thought prices will 60 lower with the ad-
vent of pleasant weather.
Loosters are late in shedding; in fact, are
still shedding. Last year they finished six
weeks earlier Even at present prices many
OF the pound owners are stocking their
pounds This has tendency to keep prices
up.
c. W. Marston & Co. are building a
pound of stone, with a capacity OF $4,000
Holsters. Some of the dealers think it is a
mistake to pound Holsters at present prices
Profs. Prince of Ottawa and Ramsay
wright OF Toronto, are touring Prince Ed
ward Island, with the object of selecting a
suitable site for lobster hatchery; which
1t is proposed to build next spring This
hatchery will have capacity of from 100 to
l5O millions of Holsters yearly.
The Rockland shippers are doing good
business. Stock has been scarce for two
weeks, owing to fogs and adverse winds,
high seas, etc. Some of the dealers are stor-
ing stock, but not to any extent They look
for lower prices if the weather improves

Operators Agree to Arbtrate. Miners OBJ
jact to some Details.
WAsHINGTON Oct. ID. The operators
have agreed to the appointment of il COM
mittee to be appointed by the President of
the United States to whom shall be refer
red all questions at issue between the COM
panles and their own employees whether
they belong to a union or not and the de-
clSlon of the commission shall be accepted
by the operators The commission is to
consist of an army or navy engineer officer,
an expert mining engineer not connected
with the coal mining properties, one of the
judges of the L. $. Court of the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania, man of promi--
nence, eminent as sociologist, and man
who by active participation in mining and
selling coal is familiar with the physical
and commercial features of the business
The operators also make a part of their
proposition that the miners shall return to
work as soon as the commission is CON
stituted and cease all interference with non
union men. The commission to name a
date when its findings shall be effective and
to govern conditions of employment he
tween the companies and their own en-
ployes for at least three years.
WILKEsBARRE, PA, Oct H. There is
every indication that the new arbitration
plan will not be accepted in its present form,
The strikers feel that the offer is not fair.
and that it unduiy limits the president in
making up the board. The miners, however.
will abide by the advice of their national
president.

No queen more careless in her state,

For other hands the work may wait

Put by each coarse, obtrusive sign,

And round her breathes a rest divine.
