Bl FLOUR Setting 0i Lobster Gear _ln Full-Swing While proqaects for lobsters ap- peared good in Sourlg and vicin. ity, reports yesterday from Tig- nish and Alberton ‘were not so encouraging. All fishermen agreed however. that the traps already set and belted had not been in the water long enough to be fish- ing well and that it was too early to make predictions. - The setting of lobster gear was in iuil swing yesterday all along the north shore from North Cape to Sourls. The rough weather since the opening of the season last Thursday had prevented the north shore fishermen from get- ting more than a small part of their gear out though the fisher- men on the east coast had been able to make more progress. Bait, too, had been a serious problem but with the coming oi the herring off the west shore last week, North Cape, Tignish, and Alberton fishermen became more hopeful’ Those hopes were realized Ytsterday when Tlgnlsh and Albertcn fishermen reported the herring more plentiful. As -"et no herring have appeared off Sourls, Mr. Paul Gallant said last night, but the immediate needs of the Sourls fishermen had been looked after by the arrival from the Magdalen Islands oi a. vessel load of freshly-salted herring, Mr. Gallant said. Present prices at Souris and immediate vicinity are said to be $8 for canners and $15 for large lobsters. It ls understood the price for large lobsters at Tig- nlsh and -Alberton is somewhat higher. The first lobsters were scheduled to appear on the, Charlottetown n» tail markets today. It was forecast 1 our film" price points“ ilw-"lllfirw. matcly s5 cents oer pound. The price to the fishermen ls alive at tihe boat-side. There is some loss of weight when the lob-. siers are boiled.
