Hard Crabs Appear in Market.

Hard crabs captured by dredges in the
waters of Hampton roads are on sale at
the nth street wharf at prices ranging
from 25 cents to 80 cents per dozen. The
crustaceans are in excellent order for
this season of the year and are in fairly
good demand. 1t has now been. about ten
days since the first crabs of the season
came on the market, but from now until
the cold weather of next fall they will
be on sale. In consequence of the cold
weather and the fact that the crabs were
taken from their beds in the mud at the
bottom Of the bay while they were spend
ing their winter siesta, the shellfish are
limp and look half dead when they arrive
here, but in a short time after being
placed in warm room they revive and
become as full of fight as in midsummer.
Winter-caught crabs are being shipped
from Hampton roads 10 points all about
