4 Crab FAMINE !.
! IN TEE CAPITAL
Soaring Price of the Shellfish
DelicacieS.
Scarcity Due to the Severity Of the
Past Winter.
Heat and Humidity Fatal to the Suc-
culent Crustacean-Surplu Ex-
pected Next Month.

Washington is suffering from scarcity
Of crabs. The Wholesale oyster and crab
dealers report an inability to fill all their
orders. The delicacy does not appear upon
the hotel menu as frequently as in other
season. The restaurants which make a
speciality of serving crabs in various styles
cannot get sufficient quantity of the crus-
taceans to supply all their custom. The
delicacy does not appear upon the tables
Of private houses and the public generally
Is passing through a crab famine.
The prices of crabs have risen 800 per
cent During an ordinary season the price
per dozen is in the neighborhOOd of 25
cents. This year crabs bring from GO to 10
cents per dozen. From 81 barrel
the price has scared to So, 81, and even So.
AS a usual thing. Washingtonians consume
about twenty-five barrels of crabs each
day. For the past few months. since the
ers have been compelled to be contented
with whatever they could get Some days
not more than four barrels would be re-
ceived. The supply has varied from that
amount to fifteen barrels.
a number of prominent oyster and crab
dealers, when seen today, stated that the
famine at the present time is due to the
severe cold weather of last winter. II usu-
ally occurs that after exceedingly cold
weather the supply OF shell FISH becomes
scant. Five or six months time is requir-
ed to get the sources of supply back to
their normal producing condition. The
very cold weather of last winter had the
effect of driving the crabs to hibernate in
l. Ii,
water. The alternating crabs have not
yet made their way out OF the mud, and 1t
will remain for the next change OF tide TO
uncover them. The shell fish men say that
the next moon will bring a change of the
tide which Will make the supply of crabs
plentiful.
During the winter months the crab sup
ply is received from Norfolk, few from
Annapolis and from the lower points on
the Chesapeake Bay. In the summer the
Potomac River supplies the crabs used in
the city. The fisheries are located all
along from Marshall Hall down to tae
mouth OF the river. Owing to cold wealth n
last winter the supply is still being re-
ceived from the deep-water points. and
crab fishing in the Potomac. although the
season is well advanced. has thus far prov
en- very Improbable. The fish caught in
the Potomac this year are small and their
condition altogether unsatisfactory.
The dealers say that by the LIST of July
there will be more crabs on the market
than are required to supply the demand.
During hot weather it is exceedingly di-
ficult to keep crabs alive. thunder
storm is as destructive 10 a barrel OF crabs
as ii is to pan OF milk. After shower
about IS out of every 100 crabs are found
dead. The frequent thunderstorms OF last

the restaurateurs in town have given up
handling crabs until the scarcity is passed.

rotary, and that one of the agents of the So
ciety shall make daily visit 10 the refuge, and
report to the office.
1t was further recommended that meas
ures be taken by the society to procure q
permanent place where these animals may
be humanely put to death. after the 1st of
October.
Agent Rabbit. having stated the great
advantage that horse and buggy would
be in increasing and facilitating the work
of the agents during the summer months,
when so mucn building was being done,
especially outside of the city limits, and
having offered to provide teams. without
expense to the society other than the pay
ment Of $3.50 per month for the feed Of
each horse, an appropriation of that
amount was made for that purpose until
the Isl of October next. A vote Of thanks
was exterded to Miss Emily Lindsey, Of
Poughkeepsie, n. Y, for her offer to pay
for the next drinking fountain for horses
needed in this city.
The following appropriations were made,
viz: For the American Humane Associa-
ton, of which this society is a member.
$50; for expenses of the refuge for small
animals for two months. $101.60; for hu-
name literature $40. and for lady agent
to devote her time to the establishment of
Bands of Mercy in the schools and Sunday
schools of the District, $50 per month.
