minister from Peru to Washington. will
be interested to know that he has taken
a leading part in the organization and
operations Of a f1ve-million dollar cor

lean manufactures direct to consumers
in markets not heretofore reached by

has long been an advocate of the de-
velopment Of closer business and more
friendly commercial and political rela-
tions between the countries Of South
America and the United States. His
acquaintance among bankers and bust
ness men In this country is large, as
he has frequently appeared before busi-
ness organizations in the interest Of
the broadening of the foreign trade Of

poration is headed by Joseph Osler.

LOCAL MARKET is SHORT
OF SEA FOOD SUPPLIES
Dealers Ascribe the Scarcity to Pres
ence Of Sharks in Coast
Waters.

Sea food Of all kinds has been scarce
for the past month, but this week the
supply at the wholesale market at the
wharf is shorter than 1t has been in
many years. The dealers in the early
part of the shortage laid 1t to the
storms ! that prevented the proper
working of the nets along the coast.
Recently. however. there have been no
storms. but the scarcity of fish has
grown greater until now the supply is
much less than the demand. The only
reason the fishermen can ascribe for the
shortage is the presence of schools Of
sharks on the coast. They say as soon
as sharks appear the market fish make
haste to get away. Fishermen say that
even with only the small dog shark
about the other fish leave and fishing
has to stop. Fish sold today on the
wholesale market at prices much higher
than are usual at this season, and the
dealers see no hope of lower prices un-
til the cold weather sends the sharks
to southern waters. This morning gray
trout sold at SIT to S1S a barrel; but
terfsh. at S17 to s1s a barrel; houn
ders. which month ago sold at less
than IS barrel. are today bringing $13
a barrel: bluef1sh. 10 to 20 cents
pound. and seabass, $1s a barrel.

INDICATE NEEDED REPAIRS.
Hull Inspectors Make Survey Of the
Steamer W. L. Davis.

Hull inspectors from the United States
steamboat inspection service were the
greater part Of two days examining the
hull Of the old steamer W. L. Davis. out
on the marine railway at Alexandra,
marking repairs that are necessary be-
fore she will be licensed for excursion
work on the river. 1t is estimated that
two weeks and longer will be required
to do the work. When the Davis re-
turns to service she will have practf-
cally a new hull.
The Davis was formerly the steamer
Angler, and under that name was en-
ployed in excursion work on the river
for several years. About eighteen
months ago she was sold to Alexandria
and Washington parties and placed on
the Mattawoman creek route. The ven
ture was not a success financially, 1t Is
stated, and a few weeks ago she was
again sold to local purchasers. who are
having her fitted up for excursion work.
