FISH AND OYSTER NOTES,

Maryland fishers up to Monday
had been doing nothing in the shad
and herring line, but this week has
seen the biggest catches ever known
there.
Saunders & Webster and w. f..
Northam, firms of Solomons Island.
Nd, who have been packing herring
heavily at Ocran, Lancaster County,
have "cut out" on account of the
demoralized state of the market. The
glut oyer-stocked them as we'll as the
market. Prices got down to $1.5O
per thousand. A few smacks
have visited Lancaster during the
past fortnight and paid $3.50 per
thousand for herring for bait.
Sometime ago law was passed
taxing crabbers $l.25 license. The
aim was to levy tariff or the scrapers
of the eastern shore, but 1t is held
by the Board of Fisheries to apply
to all persons Grabbing. The bare
foot boy of the eastern shore has
been paying the tax, aud this season
the inspectors and police captains
have been ordered to enforce it in
waters elsewhere. The boys here
are squealing.
The Virginia oyster season having
ended, the vessels of the State oyster
navy will now keep close watch in
the rivers to see that all fishermen
operating pounds pay the required
tax of So a net to the Common wealth.
The steamer Rsppanannock, with
Captain Hudgins in command, is in
this section on the lookout. Last
week Capt. Hudgins found Maryland
dredgers working in the Potomac
and he put them to rout. He gave
them overnight to clear out, and
when morning dawned they had dis
appeared.
Capt. Geo. p. Squires has been in
Baltimore some time having extern
sive repairs and over hauling done to
the steamers of their menhaden fleet.
The boats have also been inspected
under the new maritime laws. The
new laws are stringent; owners and
masters stand around with gaping
mouths, sometimes emitting sulphur
GUS words, while the inspectors de-
cree. Owing to the SIocum
disaster, which forced the new regu-
lations, the fishing fleet will be put
to many thousands of dollars extra
expense.
