SHAD COST MONEY
Prices for h Fish Remarkably High
This Season Compared Viii Pre-
vious Years.

The present season has seen a con-
tinuation of unusually high prices for
shad in this market. The catch has
been small up { the present time, and
buyers have been active competitors
for each days catch. The result has
been high prices throughout this sea-
on. yesterday bucks selling at 10
cents. and roe eighty cents, against -
and 80 cents last year some time, and
six years ago ID and p cents.
There have been so few consecutive
days, that fishermen could do any
amount of fishing, and the constantly
changing weather, has made the shad
run small and irregular. Last Tues
day was probably the best days re-
ceipts in this market, most Of the shad
being shipped north, the price being
too high for up the state Shipment
