Canadian wheat sales for Great Britain, including Ne. 8 northern from Pacific ports, materially aid- ed advances 0d more than a. cent at the start. Borne selling near the close resulted in final prices 1 to 1-8 cent higher. Dec 1.31 5-8. May 1.18 1-2-5-8 and July 1.10 7-8.

Good demands for grades of cash wheat brought further indi- cationsof scarcity when only sales resulted from sharp price advan- ces. No. 1, northern gained 1 cent to 25 cents above the May future while No. 2 northern went to 19 1-2 cents premium, an advance of 1 1-2 cent. Durunls eased a cent.

Exporters were credited with purchases of barley but other trade in coarse grains was quiet. Final prices were fractionally to 1 cent

higher for May flax.

Lobster Men Have “ "More Dollars

ADIAN CATCH

Signs are that when figures forv ‘ the year are complete. 081100835 lobster catch for 1937 will have exceeded the 1936 landings fairly substantially .

When lobster fishing came to 1t close early in October, pending i=- reopening of the season on part of the coast at mid-Novcn-lber, the lobstermen of the four Atlantic. provinces, the Dominlons produc- ing area, had landed a catch of 287,500 hundredweigllls since Jan- ualy 1 or about 20,000 ilundreri- weight more than the traps had taken in the corresponding period of 1936. As a matter of fact. the

January-October catch, as silowll

by unrevised statistical reports, made to the Dominion Depart‘ merit of Fisheries, was slightly v

larger than the total catch of last} year. Revision of the reports may make some downward change in the '37 figures but no great changc is iikcly_

The only part; of the coast when: l lobster fishing is pemlitted in tile last two months of the year is a comparatively small section of the southwestern part of New Bruns- wick, where this year, as last year. the season opened on November i5. The catch in this area in Nov- ember-December. 1936, we", ap- proximately l5,600 hundrcclwelghts.

With gain in catch in the Jan- nary-October period there came, loo, a very tidy gain ill the land- ed value of the catch or. phrased a l bit differently, in what the lobsters i were worth to the fisherman at‘ point of landing. In January- October of last year the lobster catch was worth 33.117000, round-i iy stated, at points of landing. For the first ten months of 1937 the landed value total ivas $3.436.-' 000, using unrevtsed figured again‘ and stating them roundly, or an? increase of about $319,000.
