from Maine to to Flordia. The busineee
reached Its high water mark
ae long ago u 1884. and the profits
since have have nevgr been so great,
owing to the reduced price of oil

of other products. This la 4
true notwithstanding the improvements
that have keen made In the.
methods of Industry. . The annual
output la oil gad scra$ baa not varied
greatly from ' 7.0,000 tons of
scrap and 8S.OOO-barrels of oil during
the past 8^ years. There baay
been no growth In the recent past
wtaloh would warrant a belief in a ,'j
growth In the future. However,
there aeems every probability of a
steady demand, for this fertiliser. k
The great eopcese which fish-scrap
ha? met with aa a fertiliser is due In
part to the fact that besides confining
