The hygiene OF the liver should oc-

POTOMAC SHAD
IS GIVEN 0. X.
Fisheries Head Says Rumors
of Scarcity Scheme to
Boost Prices.
RUN UNUSUALLY LATE
Fish Market Holds Firm During Week
Quotations Generally Unchanged.
Lamb Prices Advance.

Charging the existence Of a conspiracy
to disseminate falslfcations concerning
the poor quality and scarcity of Potomac
River shad in an effort to boost prices
on the fish. United States Commissioner
of Fisheries Hugh N. Smith yesterday
gave the lie to the statements and made
an official assertion regarding river con-
ditlons
THE fact has been brought to the at
tention of the Bureau of Fisheries that
statements are being made respecting the
alleged scarcity and poor quality OF the
Potomac River shad. These are entirely
false and seem to have for their basis
an attempt to maintain a high price to
the consumer at a time OF unusual
abundance, when the fishermen them
selves are selling at a low figure" he
said.
The Commissioner declared the run
of shad is unusually late, in fact, that
the season has just begun and will con-
tinue throughout May and perhaps
longer.
Shad were, quoted yesterday at 40 to 20
cents for buck, and 10 cents to 81 for
roe on retail markets
The fish market held firm during the
week, practically no changes being made
in retail quotations. Dealers announced
