There seems to be no othor way to tempt the public appetite. 1 was announced today by the bizge steam trawler company operating be- tween the Georgia banks and New York that hundreds of tons of fish. mostly haddock, are going begging in the local wholesale market from 4 to 5 cents a pound rizht mid-lLenten scason. . The New: York houscholder pays from 18 to cents a pound for fr fish and the wholesale interests 3 the difference between these price and retail price of meat is not cnough to create a demand the seafood. The problem of marketing is being studied by experts called in by ihe stearp trawler companies whose cxisi- ence, it is stated, is jeopardized by the disinclination of the public to fish under present conditions. Retail markets are not equipped to handle fish in quantities, it is said, and unless this is done the net re- turns for the trouble involved is not attractive to dealers. As « result retail prices are high and the public demand notwithstanding the high cost of living remains inactive. Before the war there cxisted i large trade in residential sections from wagons, fish carts. and even baskets.
