the fishermen will fix their nets to-
day and no boat will 60 out until
Monday morning. This is for a
double reason. The men are tired
and the law prohibits fishing on
any part Of Sunday.
The catch of shad yesterday was
much smaller than any other day
this week and the supply about
equaled the demand which still
keeps up at phenomenal rate.
The New York and Philadelphia
agents and dealers are clamoring
for the fish and local buyers keep
hunting the fish especially the bucks
or melts as fast ashley are brought
in. Several double teams took from
$50 to 400 fish each and others pur-
chased from 100 to 200.
The price of the fish remained
unchanged and many Wilmingt ton
dealers were left without fish on ac-
count of their unwillingness to pay
the price and the fish were readily
disposed Of to other men.
