The general range of the bluefish
is wide but rather irregularly dis
tributed in the warmer waters Of
the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It
extends north to the Gulf of Maine
on the Atlantic Coast of the United
States. During the early Colonial
days the blueflsh were very abun-
dant off southern New England and
about Nantucket. Then they dis
appeared for several years. Not
since 1889 have the bluefishes ap-
peared in great numbers north of
Boston. For the past 30 years Cape
Ann has been the extreme northern
boundary for this fish.
The blueflsh travels in schools,
nearly always close to the surface.
1t is known as one of the most
bloodthirsty and ferocious fishes OF

There are herring, alewives, mack

NEW YORK, Sept. 26-The stock
market ran up against further COM
plicating foreign news today and
leaders generally backed away mod
erately
After a fairly steady opening
prices began to slip and, at the
worst. losses ran to a point or more
for steels and other industrial
groups
Dealings slowed appreciably on
the retreat and quotations Stiffened
here and there in the final hour.
While scattered plus signs were TO
be seen at the close, fractional re-
cesSionS were we'll distributed.
Transfers were around $50, 900 shares.
Trading forces inclined to tighten
commitments in the forenoon when
the White House announced an en-
barge on iron and steel scrap TO all
countries except the Western Hemi-
sphere and Great Britain. This, it
was feared, might widen the gap
between America and Japan, as the
latter has been the biggest pur-
chaser of scrap in this country. In
addition, the British withdrawal
from Dakar was interpreted as a
bit bearish
The domestic business outlook, at
the same time, retained sufficient
brightness, brokers said, TO keep
share offerings at a minimum. Rail
loadings, although up less than sea-
sonally last week. touched a new
high since last fall. according to to-
days official compilation.
