Washington has not been compelled
TO do without shad all winter The
Southern market has kept local dealers

from Florida in January, and within
the past few weeks North Carolina shad
have replaced the Florida produce.
North Carolina shad were selling today
at 10 cents a piece. This price it is
said. will hold until the supply from
the Potomac warrants a material drop.
While the scarcity of the season s
most popular fish is noticeable the other
stalls In the market are so beautifully
stocked with good things that one may
find ample and material consolation.
Greens of the freshest kind and sug-
gestive of a good, healthy spring are
banked high on the shelves. Other pal
atable things are exhibited in profusion.
Vegetables Reasonable.
Considering the weather conditions
and the high prices which prevailed
through the inauguration season, one
may buy vegetables and meat at very
reasonable rates.

Fancy Prices Now Being offered for
Spaces to Display
Machines.

That the 1905 automobile show, to be
held at Washington Light Infantry Ar
mory next week will greatly excel all
It's predecessors in every respect is a
foregone conclusion. Every foot of
available space has been contracted for,
and many exhibitors who waited too
long bef6f& applying are now offering
fancy prices for bit of space in which
to display their machines.
Many of the most prominent automo-
bile manufacturers in the country will
be represented at next weeks show, and
Washington enthusiasts will have an OPP
portunity to see the finest collection of
cars ever brought together here. The
great advance the American manufac-
turers have made within the past year
is very noticeable, and will be reflected
in a measure at the forthcoming show.
The public is now more interested in
automobiles than ever before, fact
that was demonstrated during the ma
tional automobile show held In Madison
Square Garden, New York city, early in
January; the Western show held in the
Coliseum, Chicago, and the several
shows held In Philadelphia, Buffalo,
Cleveland, Boston, and Detroit. The at
tendance at these shows exceeded by at
least5 so per cent that of a year ago, and
the reports of sales made were in the
same proportion. The local show will
undoubtedly witness the greatest out
pouring of automobile devotees in the
history of the sport.
In addition to representative display
of automobiles, there will also be sew
eraI fine exhibits of motor boats, BIZ
cycles, tires, lamps, etc Music will be
furnished each evening by Haleys Or
chestra, while souvenirs, free automo-
+. bile rides, and other entertaining fea-
lures will be provided in abundance.

Let not the hawking cry of Fresh
roe shad' from the throat of the street
vender entice the Shekels from the in
nermost parts of your purse today. For
there are shad and shad. And mayhap
the huchster will induce you to believe
1t is the Potomac output he offers you.
Believe him not
The fish market today had much in
the way of shad about its counters
Although the first installment of Po-
tomac shad came up the river yesterday
the supply was so small that exorbitant
prices were asked. Consequently, few
sales are made.
Only a Few in Market
According to the report about the
market today but forty-fve fish. aver
aging between five and six pounds each,
were brought to Washington yesterday.
None came into the city this morning.
Rarely in the history of other early
shad seasons has the local fish market
experienced such a dearth of Potomac
shad. The extreme cold winter, through
which Washington and vicinity has
passed Is of course, accountable for
the scarcity. Now that the weather is
fast becoming warmer the fish mer-
chants expect the supply to increase.
Even by Monday there may be plenty
Fish that sold to the dealers yester-
day for $1.10 were disposed of at a loss
of 10 cents to customers. It was impos-
sible for the dealers to get more thar
81 apiece for them. They are, how
ever, fine-looking specimens, and sug-
gest mighty good dinner for the Len
/ ten season.
Full Supply Monday.
