FISHEEY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 181 



Monthly holdings in 1930 were largest from July to December, in- 

 clusive, being, in some instances, three to nearly four times those for 

 certain months from January to June, inclusive. A maximum of 

 91,872,000 pounds were held on November 15, and a minimum of 

 25,357,000 pounds on April 15. Holdings during the year averaged 

 62,430,000 pounds monthly. 



On the average the monthly holdings in the New England section 

 were largest in 1930, amounting to 17,914,000 pounds. Large quanti- 

 ties of frozen packaged fish were held in this section. Monthly 

 holdings in the Pacific section were second largest and amounted to 

 14,551,000 pounds. Monthly holdings in the Middle Atlantic section 

 were third largest and amounted to 13,497,000 pounds on the average. 

 The large holdings in this section are due to the imports from other 

 sections, where they are stored pending sale in the large consumption 

 centers in the Middle Atlantic section. The monthly holdings in 

 the other sections averaged between 1,003,000 pounds and 8,322,000 

 pounds.
