As showing the importance of the whitebait industry in this district (sta^ess the Greymouth Star)* it may bo mentioned that during two days last week Mr. J. Steer, who has «rected a canning factory at Cobden, bought approximately 300 kerosene tine full, which, at the rate of 12s per tin, represented £180 in purchase money. As there are two can* ning factories in Greymouth, it may be fairly estimated that from the factories alone close on £400 has been paid out to fishermen. By on© Hokitika train some 40 tins of the fish were consigned to the canning works, which employ , a good number of hands and have been working at high pressure during- the past few days. As regards the earnings of individuals who do tho netting, it was stated to a reporter that one fisherman had netted £111 and £!12 respectively for two days, but this average, of course, cannot bo spread over any lengthy period.
