Los Angeles. — Although Los Angeles is about 25 miles inland from 

 the ocean, it handles the larger part of the fishery products taken by 

 men of the several seaports of the county. The wholesale business has 

 grown yearly and in 1904 there were nine firms with a total investment 

 of $339,700; 178 persons were engaged, and received $75,623 in wages. 

 The products handled amounted to 1,851,160 pounds of fresh fish, 

 220,800 pounds of spiny lobsters, 71,432 pounds of crabs, 254,400 

 pounds (31,800 bushels) of clams, 59,709 pounds of abalone and aba- 

 lone shells, making a grand total of 2,457,501 pounds of fresh fishery 

 products, valued at $134,526. In addition to the above $99,238 worth 

 of sardines, mackerel, lobsters, albacore and abalone were canned, the 

 total value of products handled in 1904 being $233,764. 



These products were shipped to various parts of the country, includ- 

 ing interior towns of California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada.
