BIG DEMAND FOR FISH
SENDS UP THE PRICE
Shad Selling at S1.50 and So
and Other Kinds Share in
the Advance in Cost

An unusually heavy demand for the
delectable shad-due to the Lenten sea
son, together with the fact that bad"
weather has caused an unprecedented
sCarcity-is responsible for the present
high prices of the fish. Today small shad
is selling for S1.50 and the ordinary ones
for 81. Shad could have been bought for
Is cents each last season.
"Philadelphians nre daily consuming
more than $500 shad n day in the city,
and other fish at the rate of three tons
day. It's n positive case of not being
able to supply the demand" said d. ID.
Lewis, a Dock street dealer, today.
The prices of haddock, hake, cod, perch,
bass, weakhsh, Spanish mackerel, floun-
ders and shecpshead have gone up a cent
or two a pound. Those who like lobster
will now have to pay as cents a pound, or
three times the price that was asked last
season. 1t was said today that lobster
was selling briskly at that figure.
There is n possibility very slight
one however-that the price of shad will
tumble. This may come about II the shad
catch In the Delaware is successful. In
order that there may be n chance for
this TO come about, plenty OF sunshine,
oozy weather and an inclination on the
shad's part to come up the river to spawn
are all necessary.
Were not getting any shad from the
Delaware yet" explained one fish dealer
ITS all coming from North and South
Carolina, and the amount we receive is
pretty small. Usually we got 500 shad
in one shipment; now we're lucky If we
get 10 of them"
Unsettled weather. according to dealers
which existed throughout the shad season
in the Carolinas, caused the bad catch
However, this fact may prove welcome
to the local fishermen, many of whom are
in Gloucester. If the good weather con-
tinues. the fish will come up the river
in schools, since many were unable to
spawn down South.
Fishermen down Gloucester way are
actually preparing for heavy shad catch
because of the extreme codness of the
last winter. According to several odd
timers" this has always proved to be tho
case,

METHODIST PASTORS
PROTESTS SUCCEED
Opposed Transfers With Sup
port of Their Con-
gregations

The Rev. Clarence J. BenjsfAin has won
in his protest against his proposed trans
fer to Pottstown, approved by Bishop
Berry, president of the Philadelphia An-
nual Conference OF the Methodist Epis-
copal Church.
This became known yesterday when
Mr. Benjamin preached at the Twentieth
Street Methodist Episcopal Church. The
change was made late Saturday night by
Bishop Berry, who also approved the
transfer of the Rev. A. L. Copper from
the Twentieth Street Church 70 the Seventh
Street Church after determined protest
by the members of the latter church.
Three former district superintendents
re.entered the pastorate and preached
their initial sermons. The Rev. Or.
Frank p. Parkin was greeted by large
congregation at Grace Church, Broad and
Master streets. He was pastor Of that
church 10 years ago and is a favorite
among the congregation. The Rev. Or.
Ell Il. Burriss preached in the Church
of the Covenant, and the Rev. DR.. Ed
win G. Grihlths began his work as pastor
at the Jenkintown Church.
