_
faVour of the—latter.
This is somewhat less (by 8â—0Z.) than in
1893.

'
(ls. 6d. more than in 1893), the trawler 233. 7 01. per cwt. (2d.
less than in 1893).
Both had the same “price for the other
‘
kinds of - shes, viz. 458. 1001. per cwt. The disproportion in
"
regard to the price of the at shes has always been a marked
‘
feature in contrasting the two classes of shermen, and—' is
”_
.
probably due to turbot and lemon—dabs.
