Low FISH PRICES
IN OTHER CITIES
CONTINUED from FIRST Page,


skilled money sharks who prey upon
the public at every turn, and who
make a tremendous profit from the
fish OF the sea that rightfully belong
to the very people that they are i'm
posing upon.
A peculiar incident connected with
the Investigations mentioned here
was the stating to the people which
hsh were fresh and which were from
the cold storage plants; the main
reason being that the fresh fish
brought a few pennies pound more
than those that had been received
frozen. That it made a difference
could be plainly seen, as many of the
purchasing public were plainly of
the poorer class that took the frozen
article to save the difference in price,
which was quite az little when a
three to four-pound fish was taken.
Fish Taken from Jersey Waters.
Tire people of New Jersey would
think that the millennium had arrived
If such practise was in vogue In
this State, and still two-thirds of
the fish now being sold in the mar
kets of Baltimore and Washington
are caught right here at our very
uOOT5, ITOII1 the waters over WHICH
the State of New Jersey has juris-
diction, and fish that the courts have
stated are the property of the
people and of no particular set of
individuals.
While the investigators were gath
ering this data for The Evening Star
readers they saw a big shipment of
sea trout, winter weakfish of the
South, that had been taken from the
waters of Chesapeake bay, start north
ward, and the entire shipment was
for the wholesale dealers of the East,
especially those that have branch
offices in New York city The ship
ment price was three cents a pound,
the shipper to pay for the barrel and
the ice, and three days after this
fish was sold in this city at sixteen
cents pound. After deducting the
cost of transportation, which would
be exorbitant at two cents pound
(no exact figures being obtainable),
and then the cost to the retail dealers,
1t will be seen that the middleman
makes five cents a pound for his

name and influence, or a fraction
smaller than he makes on the fish
iakar from thu waters of New Jer-
sey
EndsSSs Esderzl oeas<ol Of Fiahsrles.
after gathering the above-men-
TONED facts several members of
CongTeas were interviewed on the
subject OF federal control o: the
migratory fishes. and they stated that
the article published in The Evening
Star, in which Congressman Linthi-
cum was quoted as favoring such a
move, and which was Endorsed by
him when he introduced two meas
ures covering the point, were read by
them and that they would surely be
remembered when the bills men,
toned came up for vote. The
difference in the price of food fish
to the middleman and then to the
retailer and then to the consumer
was discussed quite freely, and much
surprise was expressed by the Repre-
sentatives.
With them it is the same as with
many other men; they do not know
the price of the food that Is placed
on their tables, as all such matters
are left with the wife, who has seen
the cost of fish rise from seven and
eight cents a pound to sixteen and
twenty cents. They remember when
herring sold at penny piece, while
now ii is fifteen cents a pound. They
have seen shad go begging at a
quarter, but 1t is a luxury today at
fifty cents, and seventy-five If the
roe is not removed. They have seen
bluefish rise from ten cents pound
to twenty, and kindred other in
stances can be pointed out and easily
recalled, but in those days there was
no trust, no common combination of
interests. True there were men in
the wholesale markets of New York,
but they had keen competition and
there was no secret gathering of a
handful of men who stated what in
their opinion should be the prevail
ing price of bluefish, weakfish, sea
bass, blackfish, porgies, etc, for the
coming week. This is the influence
that The Evening Star is opposed to-
1t has been stated that the prices OF
fish to the consumer is lower now
than it has been for a year.
That is a true statement, but the
price is lower because the people are
buying poultry for the Yuletide sea-
son, and there is no demand for fish
with the possible exception of cells,
which are now in demand by
certain part of the residents of this
CITY, but wait until the holiday
season closes and then will come the
shuffling of the cards and the deal
ing from the bottom and the public
will again be the sucker, with the
middlemen of the fish trust dealing.
