Hake, Haddock and Pollock : — Hake have been in light

 qtl., from first hands. Hake, haddock and pollock have

 $5.25, medium from $3.25 to $4.00. Pollock from $2.75 

 to $3.50. 



Herring : — Pickled herring, owing to the light impor- 

 tations as a result of the war, have been in light supply, 

 and receipts have sold at unprecedented high prices. 

 Canadian and Newfoundland packers have put up her- 

 ring in the Scotch style that have been in good demand. 



The imports of herring into the United States for the 

 ten months ending October were 51,404,992 lbs., valued 

 at $2,017,686, compared with 65,343,563 lbs. valued at 

 $2,141,884 for the same period in 1914. 



Salmon: — Pickled salmon have been in light supply 

 and sold at good prices as the amount cured on the 

 Pacific coast was only one-third as much in the previous 

 year. 



Alewives: — Although the catch of alewives was good 

 the amount cured was light and the end of the year finds 

 these fish in short supply. Five hundred fish were taken 

 at Edgartown on Feb. 25, the first catch at that place 

 during the season, and was earlier than usual. 



SMOKED FISH. 



Box Herring: — These have been in good supply dur- 

 ing the year and prices have ruled low. The supply that 

 comes to this market is small in comparison with past 

 years. 



Bloaters: — Smoked bloaters have been in good supply 

 as the Newfoundland fishery that supplies the fish for 

 this article was quite successful. The receipts from the 

 fleet the winter of 1914-15 amounted to 47 cargoes, 41,619
