Freight Rates Advanced.

The Trades League, representative of
the Grocers' and Importers Exchange
and the hardware Association IN Phila-
delphia has been investigating the recent
advance of minimum freight rates tc any
part OF New Jersey. 1t use to be Is cents
a hundred and for small packages II cents
but the rule makes a charge of nothing
less than Csc.
The Trades League Committee. which
took up the matter and visited the rail-
road officials, were informed that the
increase was ordered for the purpose of
making rates uniform with official clasi.
hcation all over the country. At the
meeting it was declared that the in
crease i'll the minimum rates was only
a %forerunner OF what was to happen in
the fall when the 10 per cent. increase
in freight rates would go into effect all
over the country.

Fishing Notes

Shad fishing continued fair this week
and the prices high. From 20 to 60 to a
net daily have been caught off Penn's
Grove, this week. James Sheets made
an extraordinary catch of 12O on
Monday. Richardson and Harris got IS
on Tuesday.
The net price at Penn's Grove has been
from $35 to $40.
The catch in the Bay has been good,
from 80 TO go a tide.
The heavy rains last week made the
river water very dirty 80 that the shad
have mostly remained in the Bay and
those in the river are not: of the best
flavor because OF the contaminate water.
Whitaker and Jordan caught the frs
roe sturgeon in the Bay last week.
