prise of every one. This is the first
time in many years that fresh shad
have been on the market New Year
day. Usually it is the middle or lat
ter part of January before the first
southern shad are on sale here. The
fish received were sold to uptown deal
ers at 1925 each for roes and so cents
for bucks. Reports received from
Florida waters indicate good and
early run of the fish in the south. Last
year shad and herring were both very
scarce in southern waters, and, 1T was
stated, il was the latter part of Feb
ruary before the first of the fish were
on the market here. Local fishermen
who have made a study of shad and
their habits say that a heavy run OF
shad in Florida waters early in the
season is a good indication of a sue
cessful spring fishing season on Chesa =
peake bay and its tributaries. They
believe that the Potomac fisheries will
be unusually good this year IL the
