There will be 105 Norwegian whale catchers. This reduction in the number of whale catchers will not, according to the Norwegian Whaling Gazette, cause any reduction in total whale-oil production but may result in a prolongation of the season. Operating expenses will be cut because of present low whale oil prices. Norwegian Whale-Oil Production Almost All Sold: Practically the entire 1553/54 Norwegian Antarctic whale oil production has been sold at prices varying from Kr. 1,350 to Kr. l,430(US$190-200) per long ton, reports an October 15 release from the Norweg- ian Information Service. The prices average Kr. 1,365 (US$191) per long ton as com- pared with the average of Kr. 1,420 (US$200) a ton received in the 1952/53 season. British and South African Whale-Oil Sales Guaranteed: The British Ministry of Food has agreed to pay t,67 10s. (US$190) per long ton for the 1954 output of whale oil by British and South African whaling companies, according to the November 2 Foreign Crops and Markets, a U. S. Department of Agriculture publication. The price paidfor the past season's output was L76 (US$213) per long ton and for the 1952 production the price was LllO (US$308). Most of the British ships are expected to leave for the Ant- arctic whaling grounds in November. INTERNATIONA
