Potomac Fisheries,


The arrivals OF fish reported by MIR. j. SUIT
ton, inspector o; marine products for Monday
were 300 bunch fab, %, 33s shad, and 4so, s74
herring. Yesterday there arrived ], 900 bunch
nsh, 13, PSI Shad, and 403 929 herring. The sue
cess OF the fisheries thus far has far exceeded the
expectations OF fishermen. The arrivals thus
far of herring, for this season, amount 10
$50, 455, against S5S $50 for the entire season
last year. The increase OF shad Is ab 1ut 10 the
same proportion. Some of the fishing shores,
however. have not been so fortunate as others.
the prices have ruled low In proportion to
the increase. and after the costs OF
running the shores are deducted, there
Is but little margin OF profits for the
owners or lesSeeS. Many shad are being
packed IN salt and sold to the farmers, bat only
north with the fresh shad. Packing In Ice and
sending to other cities has become quite a
profitable business but the unusual number
caught this season has made the price too low
to afford the profits Of past seasons Ia this
branch. No sturgeon have thus far been
caught. The owner OF the fish wharf has
arranged with farmers this year to cart off the
offal for use as fertilizer. One dollar per load
Is paid for this offal and 1t is said IL Is the best
and cheapest fertilizer that can be got for q
good corn crop. The gill and trap METERS
across IN the Georgetown channel are reported
as doing coed business.
