Residents Complain Of High
Price Of Shad---MiSSiOn
for Men

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE, April 1s-Residents Of
this city believe they are paying two
prices for their shad. Good sized shad
sold during the past week as high as
50 cents. While shad sold in New York
at $sS hundred New Castle people had
TO pay from 50 TO 30 cents each.
In Wilmington Delaware river fish are
selling at % to 60 cents each. They are
the same kind of shad that are caught
by the New Castle fishermen In former
years the hucksters were encouraged to
come here and buy the fish. AS high as
forty wagons would be in waiting. But
now the prohibitive price keeps them
away.
From Lancaster. West Chester Ken
nett Square and other Pennsylvania
towns the wagons came lor the shad.
The fishermen in those times had more
money coming to them than at present
when the shad are shipped to New York
