Almost all the fish sold in the olty comes through the Ful ket, at Fulton Street River, At the wharves fishing smacks from the ‘and Jersey coasts unioad, and trawlers bring in their catch from sea, The market is a great distribut- Ing center to the thousands of small detlers and careful ty could eastly avail themselves of wide choice of fish, and the cheaper prices prevailing there. It is primarily a wholesale market and no fish orders for less than ten pounds are taken, ; but with such prices as 6 and 6 cents the pound for whiting and 12 and 15 for flounder a big saving could be made. Forty dealers and about 126 fisher- men comprise the market. Each dealer has his separate stall, his clientele of retail dealers and his list of fishermen for whom he acts as middiems:), reciving a 12% per cent. commission on the sales. There is in- tenze competition, and although this is a fine thing for the fisherman who gate his *7% per cont., it is a poor thing for the retailer who finds prices varying widely from minute to minute, The fish market greatly resembles the curb market, it is a gamble in the price of fish, High demand and low supply at once force up prices— oversupply and low demand cause tremendous. sudden drops in prices. There is a different price list for each of the forty-two fish dealers’ stalle— and the retailer, coming in perhaps once a week for Thursday and Fri- day's supply of fish, doesn't ever know where he stands. is butterfish may cost 15 cents a pound at one stall and 10 cents at the next. And by the time he has gone back to thé first stall it may have the price there to 20 cents, It's shrewd buying on @ gambling chance with the stall- owner, but that isn't good for the housewife who may buy the fish. She will pay for his loss—a fact quickly shown by ‘a comparison of Fulton Market prices with the prices in up- town retail stores. What is lost one week must be gained the next, and the retailer keeps his prices up. RETAIL MARKETS BARE AND PRICES UNDULY HIGH. An Evening World reporter who to-day visited fish stores in Harlem, Washington Heights and Morningside Heights found everywhere the same conditions of a small supply of only a few well known varieties of fish demanded by the hdusewives. Com- mend prices in cents per pound follow: riees ate, but they show plainly the condi- jon of a market that permits a re- tail sale at less than wholesale prices, Dealers explain that perhaps the 38 cent bluefish ‘been held over from the lower prices of a few days ago. it rhows also that while such good edible fish as bonita, sea bass and cod are offered at low prices in the wholesale market they cannot be had at retail. Retailers to-day were unanimous in their condemnation of the “tele- phone buyer” as being responsible for much of the profiteering on ,the part of unscrupulous dealers. “They take what they get, and they don’t cure what price they pay,” said one dealer, “Ig it any wonder that they are cheated? They ought to remem- ber that our fish don't wait till Thursday to be caught, that the fish in season are cheaper than some fan- ey fish that's come out. of cold stor- age. Right now the whiting are run- ning off Cape Cod. A fine fish, firm white meat and lots of flavor. ‘They are selling for 6 cents @ pound whole- sale, and 10 and 12 retail. But we have no. demand fog them, as the peo- ple buy bluefish and halibut at high prices.” neice tala GERMANS PLAN FOR TRADE. Will Send an Army of Experts to Fereign Lands.
