Exports of Prince County.

Wr publish, to day, the export statis- es of Pidice County for 1882.

These statisties sre as nearly accurate as they can be. Of course they neces- sarily ioelude some commodities which were ptoduced in Queen's County; but to off set these a large quantity of Prince County produce, such as pickled mack- erel, canned lobsters, canned meat, eggs, etc., shipped at Charlottetown, will necessarily be eredited to the other Counties, So that Prince County may fairly receive credit for the full sum of | the export given in the statement.

We congratulate that splendid County |

Bostoo Fish Bureau.

A cory of the “Eighth Annual Report of the Boston Fish Bureau,’’ has been received; and from it may be gather- ed much valuable information respecting the Fisheries for the past year, 1882.

To the fishermen and fish dealers of the United States the past season has been a prosperous one. At the opening, the leading varieties of fish appeared in large bodies. and the catch bid fair to be upprecedentedly large, asthe number of vessels and men eugaged in the business, with increased aud improved apparatus, had been considerably augmented. But, as the season advanced, the catch fell off, and as the supply from the British Provinces was the smallest for many years, prices advanced as the season passed, until the prices of some of the priucip'e varieties reached a height—cod

on the improvement which is thus made fish iu particular—not attained for years evident. Our readers will note with| previous. The price in June for mackerel

Business in Summerside is, we are informed,—as it is io Charlottetown—on a firmer—a better—basis than it has been for some years. Merchants—at least those who are active and prudent—seem to be pretty well satisfied with the past year’s trade; and the prospect of the future is encouraging. Better times are confidently expected ; and it is believed that real estate in Summerside will rise in value as a resulc of the return of con fidence in the resources, activity and enterprise of Prince County.

The Southern mackerel fleet was much larger in numbers than for some years. Many vessels made large catches South, taking the first fish March 31st. Two vessels evugaged in the mackerel cateh made large vet stocks. The ** Edward E. Webster’ of Gloucester, sailed March llth, aud hauled up November I1th, made a gross stock of $39,750 00, or a net one of $34,329.00, with a crew of seventeen men. ‘The *Nellie N. Rowe,” stocked nearly the same. The total num- ber of vesse!s composing the New England Mackerel fleet the past season was 342, the number in 1881 was 298, an increase of 44. Thenumber of men, 5.083. Inu 1881 the crews numbered 4,258. During the past year eighty-one vessels were built for the fisheries. The number of vessels engaged in the cod, halibut, and other ground fisheries was 692, against 604 in 1881. The number of men engaged in the business in 1882 was 7719 to 6402 in 1881. The total number of quiatals of all kinds of ground fish tak- en in 1882 was 898,904, against 775,027 in 1881.

Gloucester still maintains her suprem- acy as a great fish-catching community, having sent out last year 151 sail of mackerelmen, the total crews numbering 2325, and the catch of mackerel reported was 127,222 barrels. Boston ranks next. with a fleet of 29 sail, 485 men, with a pack of 83.175 barrels. Wellfleet is third in the list, having a fleet of 28 sail, 475 men, with a catch of 28,570 barrels. The reason that Boston reporis so many barrels, with so few vessels is, that many of the vessels of other ports pack oft there 'n the ground fishery, Gloucester is also atthe fore-front. Last year she sent out tothe Grand and Western Banks, 159 sail; on the New. England shore and Georges Bank she had 125 vessels engaged in the eateh of ccd, halibut, ete., making in all a fleet of 284 sail in that line of the business. The crews num- bered 3442 men; and the total catch of the Gloucester ground fish fleet was 479,.- 000 quintals. More than one-halt of the whole catch tor the season by the combined fleets. The report says: “The dark side of the business must yearly be noticed, the losses of life and property the past year have been with the exception of 1876, 1879, the largest for many years. Seventeen vessels and 117 men have been lost during the year all of which were in the cod or ground fishery, and nearly all from the single port of Gloucester; not avy vessels or lives were lost in the mackerel fishery.’’ The whole fleet of cod and mackerel vessels sailing out of Gloucester number 441 sail—a very respectable fleet to belong to one part, and is indicative of the business capacity of the people, and the thrift and prosperity of the whole commupity.

The report gives an ivteresting sum- mary of the fishing industry of the Atlantic avd Pacific coasts, and the great lakes of the United States, compiled from the advance Bulletins of the United States census for 1880, the statistics having been ccllected by Prof. Spencer F. Baird U.S. Commissioner of Fisheries. The summary gives the kinds of fixh taken, the quantities and values. The total value for 1880 was $41.603,659, and the number of persons engaged in the industry was 120,703.

Thinking that perhaps our readers may be interested in the food fi-hes wherewith our wveighbors of the Repnblic regale the inner man, we copy the following list of varieties :— Ale-wives, drum, bonito, butter-fish, cat-fish, cod, clams, (soft), clams, (quahaugs), crabs,

fish, pompano, red drum, sailors choice, shrimp, spotted sea trout, star fish, turtle, of various fresh and salt water species. Before closing we must observe that the report is singularly sileut on a sub- ject which last summer agitated the whole fishing world of the New England States. We refer to the syndicate, or ‘‘fish-ring,” as its enemies designated it, organized to control and regula‘e the fish business and prices. The orgaviza- tion met with much opposition and even vituperation, and the project was finally abandoned. We looked for a history of the affair ia the report, but have been disappointed at the omission.

“CGRRESPONDENCE,

Bay Fortune Debating Society.

T’o the Editor of the Examiner,

Deak Srr,— The first regular Debating Society in Bay Fortune, was organized in the Bridge School-room, on Friday even ing, 19th inst.

The officers elected for quarter were as follows, viz:

President—W. R. Dingwell.

Vice-President—J. R. Coffin.

Secretary--L. H Needham.

Financial Secretary and Treasurer—J. E. Morson.

After the usual business in eonnection with the Society had been disposed of, the fpllowirg subject was proposed for dis- cussion : “‘ Which is the most injurious to humanity, war or intemperance.

Mr. J. E. Morson, in opening the subject, on the side that intemperance waa the most injurious, gave evider.ce of having given the subject careful study. His arguments were convincing, and every point brought forward was concisive.

Mr. J. R. Cameron, respondent, then rose and witha ‘‘wait till I demolish yon” look at his opponent, proceeded to review and demolish the arguments and deductions of his predecessor. After an animated discussion on both sides, it was decided, upon division of the house, that Intemper- ance was the most injurious.

Judging from the very able speeches and the interest taken by each of the members, the meetings promise to be both pleasant and profitable to the members of the Society.

A man named Collison, of Seaton, in Holderness, died last week from the effects of the kick of acow. He was admitted to the Hull Infirmary on Sunday, when he was suffering from a compound fracture of the left leg, caused by the kick. Mortifica- tion ultimately set in, and death was the result.

Mr. Conklin, who wasa Grit candidate in Winnipeg in last June, denounced the Canadian Pacific Railway while the cam- paign was in progress, after the orthodox Retorm fashion. Daring the past six months the gentleman has reconsidered his opinions regarding the enterprise, and he now says:—‘ After two years’ experience under the Canadian Pacific contract, I am of the opinion that the railway policy of the Dominion Government, in the main, is calculated to promote the best interests of the city of Winnipeg.” This is what is a as sober, second thought.—Toronto saab,
