End of Swordfishing Season Brings High Prices At Sea Market
Stray trips persist as dealers offer top prices since opening. The Motor and Mabel E Leavitt report 25 and 21 fish with prices from 13 14 to 14 cents per pound. Total landings include 558 200 pounds of mixed fish and 925 700 pounds of haddock with varied prices for haddock cod pollock and hake. Several vessels list cargoes of haddock cod pollock and hake with notable figures for each ship. The Matiana begins its first trip under Captain Fred Chapman, moving well off Long Wharf, while the Alice M Lawrence sails to Newport News for coal and returns to Portland. The Puritan sustains hull integrity after a fire near Spec tacle Island, and the Toronto reaches Mystic Wharf after sailing from Hull. Coal-shipping concerns near Philadelphia face shortages and consider sealing barges hatches to reduce loss.
