FISH, FROZEN. 
COLD-STORAGE HOLDINGS DURING 1920. : 
Beginning with October 15, 1917, the Bureau of Markets of the 
Department of Agriculture has issued monthly mimeographed reports 
of the storage holdings of frozen and cured fish and also a bulletin 
(No. 792) for holdings in 1918, in which the storage holdings are 
presented in diagrammatic form with discussions and tables. Brief 
summaries of holdings of frozen fish have appeared in The Market 
Reporter, published weekly by the same bureau. During 1920 the 
monthly mimeographed memoranda have contained the storage 
holdings on the fifteenth of the month by species, comparisons of 
holdings with other months, quantities frozen and quantities delivered 
since the fifteenth of previous month, comparisons with holdings at 
fifteenth of previous month, and storage holdings by geographic 
sections. 
Appended is a summary of the holdings by species and by months 
for 1920, including totals for 1918 and 1919, which have been com- 
piled from the reports of the Bureau of Markets:
