FEW SHAD AND HERRING.
Receipts of Fish Here Since January
Extremely Light.

1t is legal, and has been since January
1, to offer shade and herring for sale in
this city, but SO far the receipts have
been extremely light, not hundred her.
ring having been received since New
Year day. The only shad that has come
was in a shipment received yesterday
morning from North Carolina, and it was
bought by an uptown dealer for So. The
dealers at the warf market look for ship
ments of shad and herring from Florida
and Georgia at any time, and few may
also be caught in North Carolina waters
and sent here this month.
Commencing about the first or second
week in February, the fish should make
their appearance in Carolina waters, and
the receipts here will then be good even
should no fish be received before from the
fisheries farther south. In the latter part
of March or early in April the fish ap-
pear in Chesapeake bay and the lower
Potomac, and generally by the middle of
April the fishing season is in full swing
Some few herring, it is said, already have
been caught in the Potomac, but they are
few and far between.
