The import of Scotch herrings to the United States is yet limited, but a few thousand barrels have been imported and sold at favorable prices; and as the Scotch are working hard to get their herrings introduced into the American markets, no doubt by continued shipping of the finest and best cured herring, they, atter a time, will gain markets and increase their export. A Scotch barrel of herring contains about 250 pounds of fish, exclusive of pickle, and from 700 to 800 large herring with milt and roe. I have been informed that Scotch crown full herring has been sold in New York at 9 and 10 dollars per,barrel, according to quality and packing. NORWEGIAN HERRINGS IN THE UNITED STATES. Tlie export of herring from Norway to America is estimated to be of late years from 15,000 to 20,000 barrels. The most of this is exported to New York. The demand is mostly for fat herring classifitd as and (respectively from lo| to 12|, and from 9^ to 10| inches in length). The prices vary from $8 to $10 "^ according to quality and demand.
