NEARBY FISH HIGH
IN MARKET TODAY
OYSTERS and Crabmeat More
PIentifuI-Advance in
Fowls Reported.

Anticipated drop in prices of shad,
herring perch and other fish from the
lower Potomac failed to materialize this
morning. fishermen not having fully
recovered from the effects of the storm
earlier in the week.
While the prices OF the Potomac River
fish continued high. dealers were able
to offer fish from distant points at
prices considered remarkably cheap.
oysters and crabmeat were cheaper
than usual. giving patrons of Municipal
Fish Market plenty opportunity to
avoid high prices for other marine pro-
ducts.
Retailers were out In usual large num-
bers getting supplies for the Saturday
trade and wholesalers had plenty Offer
ings for them. There was no scarcity
of any foodstuffs, according to reports,
and prices of most commodities were
the same as prices quoted yesterday.
An increase in the price of fowls was
the principal increase reported. Prices
advanced. it Is reported, because of tn
heavy demands and only fairly light
receipts.
