LOBSTERS AND THE WAR

The lobster business has been hit hard by the war, and ihis pi‘o\‘iiit‘e will feel the blow keenly. Olir average out-t pill of cniiiied lobsters is vzlllieil iii about a iiiiliioii dollars anliually; that is, ii million dollars gathered out of the

si-ii. wiiii all the t-iiipioyiiit-iii that such ii gathering in-_

The two voiiiiiries wliich have been ollr largest iimrki-is, Geriiiaiiy and l“i°aiici-_ are not buying lobsters or any miter luxuries this year and we niust look elsewhere for :J liiarlli-t. .\lui'lci-is for llixtiries-for lobsters are a lux- ury. far aiiole tht- ri-avii of the ordinary coiisumer-are ulif niiitle iii a day or at _\'ear, and ilie outlook at present is that there will be no profitable inarkct for lobsters t`or i=t.-vi=riii years to come. _

The v.-hole oi' this sf-asoii's output is still oil hand; the

I-ie favors a sliorier season. _-‘\ilother Prince Edward island packer says that it' the war is not, over by Janliary 1915 he would i‘ccoiiifnielill that all factories be closed. because a short- er scilsoii than the pres-ciii would be unprofitable for the patvlll-r owing to tlili overlieail expenses. and that anylow- t~r price to thi- fislieiwiicii than was cllrreiit in 1914 would be liiipmiifalile for ilii-iii.

'Phe probability at present is that willingly or uiiwill-

iiigiy the packers will be obliged to closc down next suin- nier. lt is clziiined by the fisliermcn that they cannot supply lobstlfrs at lower prices than they have been receiv- ing. The packers cannot afford to pay more than half wiiat they paid last year. unless a new market will have bt-on found. not only for next ycar's output blit t`or that now on hand, and this looks exceediiigly doubtful. Thcre is a probable market in the liiiited States for it limited iiuantityt also iii England-and also limited, but at bes

these would have to be thoroughly canvassed in the mean-

time. Lobstt-rs are not likely to becouil-i a geiierai article of diet to be bought and sold at regular i`ood prices; the i-ost at whicli they iiiust be procurod and plit up will iiet'cssarily plntre tltcnl iii the luxury t-lass, to be sold ill popltlolis cities and tourists' resorts aiili ai high prices.
