Our Lobster Fisheries
Sir,-—I need no apology for addressing you on ‘Our Lobster Fisheries,” This branch of our fisheries is far and away the {most important, and worth all the rest | combined, the value last year of the quantity exported, reaching nearly half a million of dollars,
Nearly all the lobster canning ground in the world is in the waters of the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland. And if this ibe so, it is a matter of the first importance ‘to do all in our power by wise regulations |to preserve this valuable industry. Now 'we are doing the very reverse-—we are | allywing our waters to be fished out! | Professor Baird, the eminent American | pisiculturist, pointed out years ago, that as | the lobster was a creature of slow growth, ‘excessive fishing would eoon deplete any 'water in which they existed. | The lobster canning business was first started in the State of Maine, I think by ithe Portland Packing Co., probably about 'forty years since. By excessive fishing the waters of that state were soon depleted, and jas the American Government tcok prompt ‘action to stop it, the Portland Packiug Co. | moved. up to the Atlantic shores of New | Beunswick and Nova Scotia. Thess grounds igeted an ample supply fer some years; jand others besides this company took hold |of the business, | ‘The Nova Scotian and New Brunswick | Atlantic shores, under excessive fishing, |soon began to fail, and the Gulf grounds | were resorted to. I was one of the first in {this Province to engage in this business. About fifteen years ago l added it to my | deep sea fishing and general business at | Heareey Harbor. At that time lobsters
were so plentiful, that, after an easterly ‘gale, they were sometimes thrown up in ;winrows on the shore, and for several years we got more than we could put up of fine large Jobsters; we never thought of | using a small one. During the last ten |years factories have been put up all around the shores of the Irlind, and owing to the }excessive supply thrown into the European -inarkets, prices have ruled low ; but during |the last two years the supply has not ex- jceeded the demand, and prices have im- ‘proved. As we have the grounds in our (own hands we ought to preserve them. |When I first tcok hold of the business, about fifteen years since, on the averege, itwo ani a half lobsters filled a one pound ican. This year, when I c’osed any factory ithe first week in July, ittook from seven ‘to eight. Im 1882 —TI quote from memory— ithe average was four and _ three- ; quar ter lobsters to a* can; in 1883, five end a half; in 1884, six and jm qvarter; in 1885, sever and one- \third. Fifteen years ago Georgetown Har- | bor aud Murray Harbor were full of lob- isters, and the coast shores were swarming 'with them. At present there are none in ‘shallow water, and very few in the deep
,my opinion, short-sighted.

jand J hold that it will pay me and other packers better to put up only half the quantity we have been doing, and at the same time we will be preserving this in- valnable branch of our fisheries. Packers
ho are anxious for an extension of time (with a view, I suppose, of fishing out their grounds as soon as possible), are, in If the fishing season is extenied to all of September, the effect of the extra catch will be to depreciate the value from 5 to 10 per cent. This would be most unjust to those who have closed their factories in compliance with the law, as well as tending to the destruc- tion of the lobster fishery.
Your obedient servant, Dantet Davirs Ch’town, 13th August, 1885.
The Trade Returns.
——-~
The trade returos for the fiscal year ended June 50th give au import valne of $112,731,114, and an export value of $89,305,882, showing a balance of trade against Canada of wearly twenty-three aud a half millions. This adverse balance is more than a million dollars less than in the precedivg year, and more thirty-three millions less than in 1883. The tendency, therefore, is towards an improvement.
There has been no prominent pros- perity in business. Competition has been keen; prices closely cut, and profits small; but on the other hand, failures have been less frequent. Traders, as. a rule, have made ends meet—have learned and practised economy in their expenditure, and should find themselves at the opening of a new fiscal year in a generally sound position. The bearing of the trade of the last year upon the financial exchanges of the country is of little consequence at this time, because of the large amount borrowed abroad by the Government and the Pacific Railway Company, which will furnish an aban- dance of exchange for some months to come. Upon the whole the inference to be drawu from the trade returns is that business, broadly speaking, is righting
jitself, and that while caution gnd prn-
dence are still ess@ntial, avy change that may come will be in the direction of improvement. So says the Montreal Gazette.

FOR THE DEAD — MONTEFIORE.
In every synagogue and assemblage of
| water of these Harbors. I don’t think that lany further proof is required that our lob- | 'siers are being fished ont, and I venture to ‘predict that if the present wholesale de- | struction of lobsters is continued, in five _years lobster canning as a business will not | be worth prosecuting,
| Thereis a stringent Fisheries Act on our ‘Statute Book—very much a tran:cript of ithe American Act. Under iis provisions, } 'no person is allowed to capture and use \lobsters under nine inches in length. No | person is allowed to capture spawn lobsters carrying the ove. No p»son is allowed to jcatch lobsters before the 15th day of May, ,nor liter than the 20th day of September. ‘This act has not been enforced em her by the McKenzie Government or by Sir John’s |Government. Lobster fishing is a new in- | dustry, and I suppose it was not ¢ nsidered desirable to harrass it by enforeing the pro- visions of the Act. I submit that the time |has now arrived when its provisions shonld | | be rigidly enforced before our lobster fish- | teries are destroyed! By the law, lobster factories should close on the 20th of August. | Some of the kargest factories on the Island, including my own and that of 8S. Prowse
Hebrew worshippers special prayers were offered for General Grant and Sir Moses Montcfiore. As the body of the great American had not yet been consigned to the earth the “Kaddish,” an address of sanctification and glorification of the Almighty, and which is only repeated after burial, could not be repeated for General Grant at the morning services. The Hebrew prayer ‘‘Hashcabab,” the funeral prayer for the repose of the souls of both great men, was given in every Hebrew shrine, the congregation stand- ing, and facing the east. ‘The Mourners *Kaddish will be given at the early morning service for thirty days in all synagogues, In the absence of most of the leading rabbies, memorial addresses were omitted from the services. After their return in the fall special niemorial services are to be held.— New York Herald

Mr. Percy Wood, the sculptor, has

I | jfor one protest egriust any extension of | | time. I consider it suicidal, almost liter- | jally, a case ‘‘of killing the goose that lays) ithe golden egg.” Lobsters retire to deep water to cast their shells early in July, they | return to shallower water early in August. |

The judgment of critics is that in the memorial Brantford will have a fitting memento of the brave Indian from whom the town derives its name.
