Arrival of Soft Crabs.

The steamer Queen Anne yesterday
brought up one small box of soft shelled
crabs. the first that has come from the
route of tire steamer this season. On the
last trip of the steamer Northumberland
of the NJ. D. e. V. line from landings in
the mouth of the river to this city. she
brought ten or twelve packages of soft
crabs to the local dealers.
From now on it is thought that the
catch of soft crabs in the Potomac will
be on the increase and the coming month
the river line boats will be bringing them
here in quantities. So far this season the
crabs have been rather small. and this
morning they were selling at prices rang
ing from - cents to 81 cents per dozen,
according to the size and quality of the
crab. With warm weather the dealers
look for a sharp advance in the cost of
the delcacy. Soft crabs from Chesa-
peake bay points have been on sale in
the local markets for several weeks past.
