Board Of Trade,

Members OF the Board of Trade
who attended the meetings Of that
body regularly are trying TO de-
wise some plan by which a better
atte lance can be secured. Just
how to do this they do not kno ",
but it it desired to have a large at
tendance Of members this year be-
cause many matters Of Importance
TO Wilmington are to come before
the board.
There are a number Of men who
are interested in the work Of the or
ganizatIon and arc always willing
10 contribute 10 any cause which
the board takes up hut It appears
almost impossible to'get the IN 10 a
meeting. As a matter Of fact their
presence and their opinions on ln-
portant topics are as important as
their contributions, and II they
would attend other members Of the
board would be attracted to the
meeting.
There are some members who are
always present and the bulk Of the
hard work falls upon them. II is
believed, however, ha:the bus,ness
to come before the org ganization this
year will be sufficiently important
to attract a larger attendance, The
river and harbor matter alone will
require hard work on the part Of
the board.

sued Mrs. Thompson fell to the

NEEDS OF
THE HARB0R,

The Board of Trade and Congress-
man Ball held conference last even
ing relative to a hearing before the
Congressional Committee on Rivers
and Harbors.
There was large attendance and
Washington Hastings pres ided.
Mr.. Ball explained that be had seen
Chairman Burton of the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors, and arranged
for a hearing Of the Wilmington dele
CATION on Friday next, probably.
He desired the Board of Trade and
citizens to send committee to Wash
ington on that day to explain the
needs Of the city.
DR.. Ball explains that II Whining.
ton is to have an appropriation, 4
fight must be made tor it; therefore
he desired all assistance possible III
making a plea for q continuance Of
the work on the local harbor.
William Lawtou explained to The
member of Congress that q bill was
passed by the last Legislature, where
by the city must give ten per cent.
OF what the national government
gives for harbor Improvements. He
said this was an argument the city
never before had in favor OF getting
an appropriation.
Alvin X. Morrison considered the
best thing to do would he to ask
Congress for enOu. h money to main.
tain the improvements that have been
made. lie also advised having a new
project made for improving the har.
Dor by buIkheading both sides Of the
Christiana river, and putting in a
flushing basin up the stream to pre-
vent the stream to prevent tho wash
ings coming down and filling up the
harbDi.
e. II. Warner thought that it
would be advisable, before making
any definite plans, as to what to ask
of Congress, to hold conference
with General Smith, the engineer at
Philadelphia, who has succeeded Ma
jor Raymond, and learn his views as
to what the Wilmington harbor needs.
Mr.. Warmers suggestion was acted
upon and a committee composed OF
five appointed to hold conference
with General Smith early next week.
After the committee has talked with
the engineer another meeting Of the
Board of Trade will be held, a def
mite line of action agreed upon and
arrangements made for delegation
to visit Washington.
The committee appointed to con-
fer with General Smith is composedof
Il, II. Warner, A. II. Morrison, Sam
uel X. Smith, Charles W. Pusey and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--An increase
Of ovar e,O0O, 600 In the flsh and fisher.
los esst distributed by the government
throughout the country and marked
decline in lobster fishing are shown in
the annual report Of United States
Commissioner Of Fisheries Bowers for
the last fiscal year.
The total fish and eggs distributed
were 1,173,S33, 400, the principal spe.
cies being shad, salmon, lake trout,
whitefsh. pike, perch. lake herring,
cod. fattish and Holsters. In addition
to the regular work OH the great lakes
plans were natured to begin the prop
agatiOn of lake herring there. The col
lection of lake trout eggs In Lakes Su
perior and Michigan, which nearly
doubled that Of last year, aggregated
224, ,OO0,0 600, from which 19,O0O,OO0 fry
We're hatched. The report says the can
vass of the great lakes had been tnken
up only In 1890 when the yield and
value We're nearly equal to those OF
1890, the largest Oh record. The total
yield was 113,72s,0OO pounds, worth
$2.6l1.4OO. There We're 9,67S persons
employed in the fisheries, and $6,6l7,
600 was invested.
1t becomes each year more difficult
to secure lobster eggs along the coast
of New England. The continued steady
decline of this important fishing indus
try renders 1t the more important ef
forts should be made to re-establish IT
by artificial propagation. The decrease
Is most noticeable south of Cape Cod.
During the year there were hatched
and planted In New England waters
2O2,S7O.00O cod, 4,OO0,OOO tiattish and
00OO.0 900 Holsters.
In recent years the fisheries of the
Mississippi and its tributaries have de-
veloped to such II degree that in lS!'9
they exceeded In quantity and nearly
equaled in value the entire yield of the
remaining interior waters Of the init
ed States except the great lakes. Mus.
