New Castle, May 16.-Several shad
fishermen, on taking drifts on the Della
ware River yesterday morning, decided
that they had iished enough during the
season and retired from the work for the
year. Some will probably fish until the
latter part of the month, or as long as they
are able to catch any fish John Jacob
son hung up his net and will return 10 his
work in one of the Wilmington shops.
Harry Wilhelme, who has been fishing
with J. Schultz, also quit and Mr. Schultz
will secure another man and will continue
and later fish a sturgeon net. Some of
the boats caught as high as IL fish on
tide yesterday, while the majority ranged
from FIVE to nine. The prices remain
firm and the New York market is clamor-
ing for the fish at the highest figures ever
known as late as this is in the season.
