Lastspring the boats at Amhei-st made$300 each, which, divided among adozen men, means little for their herring caught are largely sold tothe Bankers (fishermen from theBanks of Newfoundland), or the trawl-ers (the steam fisliermen of the outerwatem), at eighty cents to a dollar abarrel, or to the smokers at fifty centsa banel. The lobster season continues for twomonths to the first week in July andagain for a month in the fall. The^Magdalen Islands are probably thebest lobster grounds in the world, duesomewhat to the enforcement of theclosed season by a Government tug,and partially to the dislike of theIslander for breaking the law or any-thing else that requires unusual ex-ertion. Out of season the shores arepiled with the lobster traps, conven-ient for setting out in the bottom ofthe ocean at the next season. Lob-ster factories dot the coast, all underthe control, as in the entire fishing. MKNDING LOESTRK TKAIS
