Market

The continued receipt OF oysters
from southern Maryland waters,
coupled with the extremely warm
weather and the hazard In handling
them, has forced a continued drop in
the price, standards being quoted at
81 per gallon and selects at sl.2o.
The demand for fish continues un-
abated, with very light receipts.
Prices continue high and fishermen
should receive good returns for con-
signments coming on the market be-
tween now and the time the receipts
from the big nets begin to come in.
Eggs continued Weak, nearby be-
ing quoted at 33 cents and average at
81 cents. Prospects are that these
prices will continue to decline.
