The decrease in the number of boxes sent to Billingsgate con- 

 tinues. This decrease is, however, primarily caused by the 

 growing practice of sending Scottish salmon to markets other than 

 Billingsgate. In 1907 only 11,107 boxes of salmon were marketed 

 in Billingsgate, showing a decline on the total for 1906 of 1175 

 boxes. Totals are given in the following Table : —

 salmon at Billingsgate in each month of 1907 from Scotland and
