NORWEGIAN WHALE OUTPUT.

One of the few bright spots in the world’s markets to-day is that of the Norwegian whaling industry. The production for the 1929-30 season was 1,720,775 barrels of oil, an increase of 55 per cent, on the previous year. This season the Antarctic whalers have sailed unusually early, and owing to recent enlargements of existing floating factories and construction of new ships, a substantial increase in whale oil production is anticipated. Nevertheless, all except 500,000 barrels of this season’s oil has already been sold at a price of £25 per ton.
