Text Appearing Before Image:
ed action .among the producers and an attempt to bring about an agreement, onprices and also a limitation of the fishing season. Many factorieswere closed and the vessels laid uji, the owners i^referring to keepthem idle rather than to engage in unprofitable work. The diminished extent of the output and a better understandingamong the producers resulted in an improvement in prices, whichfinally reached 40 cents per gallon in the spring of 1893. Then, owingto unfavorable conditions, prices began to decrease until in the fall of1896 crude northern menhaden oil was sold at 18 cents per gallon, thelowest price ever reached. Since 1896 the business has been conductedwith much less competition and with greater economy by reason ofimproved machinery and increased facilities, and as prices have been ^somewhat higher a fair profit has been derived from the business bythose whose invested capital is not greatly in excess of the value oftheir respective plants. Report U. S. F. C. 1902. Plate 16.
