SOFT CRABS AT $2.75
ADOZEN RECORD PRICE

CRISFIELD. Nd. July 1.-The un-
precedented scarcity of soft crabs this
season has resulted in the highest
prices ever known in this market. The
highwater mark was reached Tues
day when three lots from the West
ern shore OF Virginia brought $2.75
a dozen straight through for primes,
mediums and culls. on the wharf here.
This price was exclusive of the pack
age, which brought the price up to
sass. when packed ready for ship
ment.
The extreme scarcity has prevailed
since the season first opened, early
in May, and from present Indications
will continue until late in July or
early in August. There have been but
very few crabs caught in the
waters near Crisfeld. and crabs that
have been shipped from here, totaling
perhaps less than one-fourth of the
normal shipments, are practically all
from the Western Shore.
