Show Varying Prices of Lobsters. I-overs of lobnter ought to get a lot of comfort out of a recent paragraph In the famous old Kennebec Journal, which says that the crustaceans are "dirt cheap." However, the Journal adds, "they are not as low In price as In the old days, when they sold six for 23 cents, but tho price bai fallen to 10 cents a pound, which la decidedly different from the figures that were being quoted early in the spring. Then they were being bought alive for 60 cents a pound from the fishermen, and the price In Boston and New York soared to 80 cents a pound and, !n some caHes, beyond." |
