MACKEREL AND sHAD UNUSUALLY CHEAP
Mackerel smacks stil come into the harbor ID
numbers greater than has ever been known oetoIe.
The fish that they are bringing are I9rgci anu nn1
than those brought two weeks ago. The prices are
merely nominal. 4 tWO-pound macKerei VIII ohIy
bring Is cents and common sized mackereI are
soil nj 70 cents dozen. The fish market mas Deen
knocked topsy -turvy this spring. Shad nave
especially felt the effects OF the mackelci CdVSH
North River roes have sold during the week LOT
o. cents and the bucks for Is cents. Connecticut
River shad bring about double the price OF North
River The catch of shad IN the latter stream ms
season has not been eXcelled IN the memory OIL the
! The season began ten days late7 said Fish Com
missioner BlackfOrd, but the lateness was amply
made good As high as $4,000 shad day have
heen caught this season in the Hudson. Those
caught this week in the upper Hudson snow thlt
they haze far advanced toward spawning, ana the
State Fish Commission Will probably Degln theIr
matching operations within ten days. This year
there will be the first attempt to ascertain accur-
ateiy the number of shad taken III the Hudson. At
fhe Tcouest of Professor Baird have employed four
men to collect statistics on this subject one III the
upper Hudson in the lower, and two IN tie
markets of this city," -,
a'To what do YOU attribute the increase of shad
this year n
think it is due entirely to the steady and per-
eistent stocking of the river by the Fish Comnis-
sioners since 1869. The Hudson is to-day the
greatest shad- producing river in the world; often
hear old men say they could remember when lhey
bought shad two-for-a-quarter and they seem 10
think there must have been more IN thOse DAYS IMAM
now but owing to the existing rapid transit iacil
ties for distribution, Hudson River shad ma a
market all over the country, even to California; so
YOU can easily see why they cost more DOW tnah
tity years ago.
