"The prices of soft-shell crabs are
governed by the phases of the moon,"
said Hiram Beecher of Annapolis.
"The sloughing season of the crab
is after the dark of the moon, increas-
ing as the moon nears it's full-operat-
ed upon by the unvarying law of sup
ply and demand, as the supply be-
comes more abundant at the moons

fancy prices of from 60 to 80 cents are
received. 1t is only at the season of
shedding its old for new garment
that the crab grows and develops from
the small crab at the opening of the
season to the 'channeled' at its close.
A grassy shore or fat is the favorite
resort for the sloughers, for there, to
a great extent, they are out of the way
