1t had been surmised that the fishery on
the Newfoundland Banks. which has just

cause OF the phenomenally high price of
cod liver oil last winter. But the Norwe-
gian season, which is earlier than the one
here, must have been very favorable, as
the market price of oil has run down IN
til now it is quoted as being only one-fifth
higher than 1t was this time last year
However stocks of fish are low the world
