MARINE PRODUCTS
MEET READY SALE
Crab Supplies DWindIe at D.
C.. Market-Trout Is
Plentiful.

There was the usual increased Friday
morning demand for marine products
evidenced at Municipal Fish Market
this morning. Receipts were not so
heavy, dealers reported, the change in
weather conditions having affected
catches.
It was reported that the season for
soft crabs is about over, very few OF
them having been received the past
few days. Hard crabs also are not
coming in such large quantities, and
dealers this morning quoted them at
So and 81 barrel.
Trout, more plentiful than other fish,
sold from to IL cents pound. Very
few white perch were to be had, the
few reaching here the past few days
having been very small.
Rockfish were quoted at 90 and Is
cents. bluefish at 20 cents and found
ers at Ia and Is cents. Halibut sold
at 25 and 80 cents, and salmon at
30 cents.
Cool weather had the effect of in
creasing the demand for oysters, prices
returning to $225 for standards and
$3.50 for selects, prices that prevailed
during the earlier cool spell.
Dealers along the country line learned
of heavy frost in the nearby country
last night. In some sections, accord
ing to reports, much damage was done,
tomato plants being the hardest hit.
Commodities of all sorts were plenti-
full enough this morning to meet de-
mands, prices being substantially the
same as prices quoted yesterday.
