PRICES AT HIGHEST LEVEL.
Scarcity of Most Fish in Market
Forces Up Quotations.

Dealers in sea food at the wharf mar
ket report fish of all kinds very scarce.
AS a consequence prices have ad-
vanced on many varieties to the high
est level of the season. Spanish mack
erel is the one exception. While there
has been no big supply of this choice
hsh there has been an increase in the
supply that has caused a lowering in
prices. Practically all the fish offered
for sale are coming from the coast
fisheries. the nets in the bay and river
having sent but few to the market in
the past week.
There is excellent demand for all
varieties and the market this morning
ranged about as follows: Spanish
mackerel. Is cents. blueflsh. 20 cents:
rock. IS to 20 cents: carp. to IL cents;
