a great demand for the oils that once made New Bedford famous. It is gen. orally complained that, although the catches of late years have been some what more satisfactory than formerly, the price of oil has ruled at so low a figure, namely, from 50 to 53 cents per gallon, that results have been far from satisfactory. Whalebone, on the other hand, has continued in good de- mand since no effectual substitute for 1t has ever been discovered by the cor set makers: One man now controls most Of the whalebone output and he keeps the prices well up.
 It is thought that the importations of oil and whalebone will be consider ably larger in 1905 than in 1904, when the pounds of bone brought in amount ed to 123, 300; barrels of sperm oil. IT, 005: and barrels of whale oil ,2,75O.

the popular Long Island Sound services between New York and Boston-go al- ways with intense interest to the two wharves at which whatever vessels are left of the Atlantic fleet discharge their cargoes and repair for the next voyage into seas full ow wonder and peril. It is one of the picturesque sights of America, the removal of thousands of barrels of oil and great stacks of whale bone from the black holds, and the pro- visioning of the craft for another voy- age of two or three years Since the barque Morning Star arrived at the Central Wharf the other day filled up with 1,25O barrels of sperm oil and a considerable quantity of whalebone, the crowd of sightseers have been greater than ever, especially as the barque Jos ephine, another of the fleet, has not fin : ished unloading. While waiting to go over to Fairhaven and take a train for the Cape resorts they look over the gaunt whalers, rubbing up against the greasy barrels, peering with shudders into gloomy forecastles, and asking the fool questions that only the very wise can answer. And often there are elic- fted from grizzled authorities who have wintered in Hudson Bay and in the Falkland Islands the stock but thrill ling tales of the exploits of other days, together with the usual criticism of the writers of whaling stories, such as the author, who. as one veteran mariner expressed 1t, tells a pootty good story, but there want no whale ever built that leapt clean out O the water
