Comparing this Sep- tember with the same month in 1956, the index for the sub- group increased percent due to higher haddock fillet and fresh shrimp prices. Oysters were priced the same as in September 1956. Wholesale prices for frozen processed fish and shellfish declined 11,0 percent from August to September 1957 be- cause of a rather sharp seasonal drop in frozen brown shrimp prices at Chicago. Changes m frozen fillet prices were slight--flounder and haddock fillets prices were lower by only | to 1 cent a pound. The September 1957 index for this subgroup was percent higher than in the same month in 1956, due principailly to higher frozen shrimp prices (up percent) and higher frozen haddock fillet prices (up percent). Both flounder and ocean perch fil- let prices were down about 2 percent from September a year ago. Canned fishery products prices in September this year were about unchanged from the previous month except for a further decline ( percent) in the price at New York for canned Maine sardines. The canned salmon market continued firm due to a short pack both this year and last; canned tuna and California sardine prices were unchanged from August to September. Comparisons between this September with September a year ago show a firmer mar- ket for canned tuna, an unsettled market for canned Cali- fornia sardines (production was light for the first month of the open season in Southern California), a firm market for canned salmon^ and a pronounced weakness in the market for Maine Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may hav
