SCENES ON RIVER FRONT
AST0NISH WESTERN MEN
Inaugural Visitors View Expanse O
Water and River Products
With, Great Wonder.

Visitors to the city, particularly those
from the western states where nothing
like a river exists, have been numerous
along the river yesterday and today. and
the little vessels lying in harbor unload
ing oysters, lumber and cord wood were
objects OF interest to many who had
never enjoyed as much water in one
body as they saw in the harbor. Some
when informed that the Potomac at just
below this city was ten times as wide as
is the harbor could hardly grasp the idea
that SO much water could spread out in a
body. Some went to the steamboat
wharf to take a trip down river.
The oyster and fish wharves were CEN
tiers OF attraction, and the sight OF the
fishcutters skinning cataesh attracted
much notice, as did the piles. Of shad.
herring and other varieties OF fish lying
on the floors Of the fish houses. The fact
that oysters came inclosed in a hard shell
seemed to astonish a number. They said
that all the oysters they had ever seen
were soft and came to them in cans, and
1t was only after several oysters had been
opened for them to taste that they were
satisfied that they were really and truly
oysters.

FISH PRICES DROP,
receipts Of Shad and Herring al
Market Here Are Heavy.

Receipts Of shad and herring from
North Carolina and the lower Chesapeake
were heavy enough yesterday at the fish,
houses on the 1lth street wharf to cause
drop in the wholesale prices, and this
morning shad were sold at 80 to IS cents
each for roes and 40 to As cents each for
bucks Herring dropped from $3.50 and
s. per hundred to s. per hundred. These
are the lowest prices that shad and her
ring have brought SO far this season.
Not only are good catches of shad and
herring being made. but the nets on the
coast as well as those in the river show
the effect of the warmer weather In the
Increased catches they are making of
other fish. For the past two days the
receipts have been larger than for some
time, but they are not yet heavy enough
to overstock the market.
While no shad or herring to amount to
anything have been caught in the Poto-
mac this season, the fishermen are look
ing for their appearance In the mouth of
the river at any time, but 1t will be
about a month before any heavy catches
will be made. Those who watch the
southern fisheries say that the coming
season. will be light one on the Potomac,
for shad and herring will not be over
plentiful.
