Profitable British Fisheries.

The British fisheries yield about
$500, 900, 900 pounds annually, for
which the ultimate consumers" are
believed to pay at least 1926, 900 900.
In view of the part which herring
and other small fishes play in this
total, il may be within the truth TO
estimate the number of fishes caught
in an average year by the fishermen
of the United Kingdom, at two bill
lion or more. For all Europe this en-
ormous number may be multiplied by
three. perhaps By four.
