Local lore has it that . warm weather scatters the fish, cold brings them in together. Thus the food fishermen have been bring ing in only a few mullet, trout, and flounders, a smaller emount still of snots, hogfish, and shrimp. Add to this a sudden slumn in the market which is expected to Inst till the holiday season is over, and you have n not-too-rosy pictura for the immediate future. , The menhaden, now, arc another mnlter. Ten million were reported by one factory for one day while one Virginia cupiain reports that he believes that "all the factories and all the boats around here could operate all year" on the amount of menhaden out there now if they could all be caught. Of the food-fishermen now ope rating their boats, most have gone to Atlantic and Ocracoke. Forty local boats are said to have been tied up in Atlantic at the begin ning of the week. Flounders are reported to be plentiful, but small. Carl Erlcksen is in charge of the "Malola." ( The really important fishing is over "till next fall" for Albert Lea, who is getting some .fish from sink-net fishing Outside and at the Cape mostly trout and sea mul let; and expects to get trout, puppy drum, larger drum, and spots, from haul-nets around the Eastern side and around the Cape if it gets cold. Black-fishing, he thinks, will pick up after Christmas, though not on a large scale. Blackfishing is good now at Snead's Ferry where a number of local boats are tying up. George Purifoy, for one, is down there now. Operating for E. C. Ballon of Morehead is Lloyd Lawrence on the "Princess Ann" and Charles Dozicr on the "Tommie." They, too, are on the trail of Ocracoke flounders. Some 1100 pounds of flounders are credited to Skipper Dave Bcvoridge as a recent record. Harold Simpson's "Patricia" and Captain Fowler's "Hazel L" were up in the Noe yards for general overhauling this week. They fol lowed several purse boats belong ing to Phillips and Harvey Smith, which had been worked on for leaks recently. Doekside dope is that Roy Eu banks plans to m;:ke a sports man's club out of the new bridge side building he is erecting. Which brings to Captain Noe's mind the time, in the 1890's, when the Queen City Club of Cincinnati wanted to buy Pivers Island for such a purpose and didn't solely because the owners couldn't de cide on a price. Listed on the tax books for $25, the price was lipped from three, tc five hundred, thence to a- thousand dollars, at which point the buyers did beware -and Science got a toehold here in the form of the government lab. Price Johnson is said to be opening oysters and appeasing the appetites of truckers at his spic and span new markct-and-catery building. ( onchs are selling for a dollar a dozen, dressed, at the Noe fish market, where Street Wetter ington doesn't look for things to pick up right away. i O. Holland, out at Quinn's, says their boats are doing "fair con sidering the weather, which is not too favorable." He expects to op erate till Jrnuary 15, then weather out a lull in activity until things 'iii The two trawlers operating for Puck O'Neal are bringing in croakers, trout, sea mullet, and flounders and "doing right well for this time of year," he says. Trout retail for 25 rents a pound, I sea mullet for 25, croakers for 20, flounders for 25 to 30 cents, and shrimp for 70. They are be ing brought in from waters around Hatterns.

Quinn, John N. Quinn and the Benson Riggin. Captain W. T. Glover has been confined to his home with "a chill." His market has been get ting only "a few trout" lately. Harvey Smith's "Sandy Hook" tangled with an old wreck on the reef, near Cape Shoals, and was extricated only after a tug had been sent out with pumps. Al C'ubbagc, who is now out of town for a few days, is being aid ed in the office by New Yorker Kennedy, who came here fi'6m Mississippi but has also lived in Florida and reports he likes il here "line." L. G. Hardesty snys shrimp are "oft"- bringing only (55 to 70 dol lars a box, and that good fish are holding on the flounder, and trout, while smell mullets can be sold in the state but only larger ones to northern markets. Three boats are operating for him now but things are "pretty quiet." lie says, though, that he got a fair quantity of fish and shrimp up until two weeks ago and got shrimp "till Christmas last year " Small spotted trout, a few mullet, red drum, and shrimp, are what he ex pects to get currently. A record spotted trout eight pounds and eight ounces lies in state in the Havis market. Caught by Stacy Davis at Mark ers Island, it dwarfs the usual one-and-a-half to three-pounders -usually brought in. Davis is sell ing flounders for 40 cents a pound, speckled trout for 45, and has a few shrimp and pan trout. A few hickory shad are being caught by Captain Stacy.
