Edward =. Harris and John Culin,
arrived home from Mayport, Florida.
last Saturday, where they have been
about a month buying shad for Phila.
delphia fish dealers. Shad are very
scarce on the st. John River, only a
few having been caught. The catch
will not average over half q dozen to a
net each day. The cause Of the search
ty Is believed to be on account Of the
government throwing SO many stone at
the mouth of the River to form ~jetties
and also the noise of o large dredge
which Is digging out the bed of the
River to make 1t navigable for large
steamers to Jacksonville. The prices
have been from $45 to S28 per 100
wholesale. Jacksonville consumes
nearly all the catch.
