HOLDINGS OF CURED FISH 



Only cured herring and mild-cured salmon are reported held in 

 cold-storage warehouses in the United States and Alaska. Other 

 species are also held in cold-storage, but no report is made on them to 

 the Government as their volume reaches but small proportions. Dur- 

 ing 1930 the monthly holdings of cured herring varied between 

 12,115,000 pounds in April and 19,067,000 pounds in October. 

 Monthly holdings of mild-cured salmon varied between 2,464,000 

 pounds in May and 7,516,000 pounds in October. The average 

 monthly holdings of cured fish held in cold-storage in 1930 were 22 

 per cent less than the average monthly holdings during the year 

 1929, and 15 per cent below the average normal monthly holdmgs.
