 The shore and George's Bank fishery gears (Nos. 39190-2-4, 39185-7), are pro- 

 nounced to be the best ever manufactured and are coming into use quite 

 extensively. The lead being round at the bottom prevents fouling. This 

 style of lead also sinks more quickly than the ordinary kind. The patent 

 swivels used with this gear are very useful ; they allow the insertion of new- 

 hooks with little inconvenience or loss of time.
