Again, in 1901, we find the market remarkably steady,, 

 exactly £1 per cwt. is the value of these fish "landed" at 

 Pwllheli. 



Turning to the year 1902, one finds the steadiness of price 

 and quantity of fish is maintained until the end of April, when 

 there is a remarkably sudden fall to zero, which is steadily 

 maintained until the end of the year. Now, it is practically 

 certain, that either the figures previous to or after May, 1902, 

 are incorrect, since such a sudden change cannot be due to 

 natural causes. From what one knows of Pwllheli and the 

 distribution of fish in the Irish Sea and Cardigan Bay, one is 

 forced to the conclusion that the figures previous to May, 1902, 

 are grossly inaccurate.
