These Osh comprise halibut, rock, bass, mackerel, cod, had , stnelts, founders, white fish, lake salmon and lobsters. e A SHAD MYSTERY. Shad have been more plentifal every third year, which is accounted for the fact that it requires three years for them to attain their growth, and wuere they migrate to between seasons is & auestion which has never been satisfactorily ex- plained. So completely futile have been ‘a]l efforts to ascertain their whereabouts be- tween the seasons for spawning and the pe riod of full growth, that it has almost cease to be a matter of investigation, being regard- ¢d as among the things tare past finding t ont. Those best informed as to the habits of these fish predict an abundant barvest of sbad the coming spring. This will be good bews to the fishermen. The scores kept by our dealers show that about two-thirds of the sbad and herring which reach our markets are ship; to northern markets, tbe Sggregate e varying from $1/0.000 to $500, annually, according to the produc- tiveness of the seasons. HERRING commence running in March, but do not be- come plentiful antil April. Tne supply is always greatly in excess of the home de- mand and abont three-fourths of those caught are salted and ship) away. In th early season they are a delightful pan fish. THE OYSTER TRADE ta this city is of growing importange. The primary classification is into first and second qualities. The first quality embraces lve Cberrystones, York river, Rappahan nocks. Dismond creeks, Saint Jerome, Sea- sce, Pocomoker, Tangiers, Deep creeks, Di- vidiig creeks, Point Lookouts, Little river anc Cone river productions. ‘The second gvaiily inelndes the Machatoes, St. Georges, W-com‘co, Patuxent and Nominis. Of these the fx a8 to figvor @re the first four nemed tu the first quality, and are therefore much sovghtafter. The others of that qual- ity sre alto fine, and are generally soid in ov demand s2/coLs and botels, where the the baif oman Merer ceases. Those permed in the # quality are general eaten ccoxed. "The Cnerrystones, Pocomo! = aud Targiers always find sale, ecmmand scod | prices, as they are piomp ard sbuck more to the el the other kinds. The prices for these gener- ally rarge from 75 cents to $2 per bushel, and Jor those stated in the second quality from °0 to 50cents. In the winter the cnanges - ee oe cause fluctuations in prices o! ‘alves, a8, upon @ hard freeze, dealers, in anticipation of difficulty in get- Ung a supply, advance the price of their stock on band. WASHINGTON OYSTER EATERS. It is @ fact not generally known that more oysters are consvmeéd in the cities of Wash- ington and wR, emp age pu- lation, than in any other city in mived States, except New York. ie Baltimore receives bandics more in the way of packing ard shipping than most other citi: perbaps than any other, her actual home const mption is far less than ours. THE DEMAND FOR CLAMS is slight to that for oysters, and inspector aeianaton, from whom mucn of Unis information was obtained, states that the market is not often overstocked. The prices range from $3 to 5 per thousand. OF THE CRABS copsumed here about one-twentieth are soft shell. There does not seem to be a general fondness in this District for these shell-fish, which are so abundant in our river and bay, and the dealers say there is very little profit in the trade. The oyster dredgers only keep up the crab supply in summer to secure their customers for oysters until the jatter commences. The prices of crabs range for soft shelr#1 to $2 per dozen, and for hard shell 40 to 50 cents per dozen. FISH FIGURES. The score kept by Mr. Luddington for 1874 sbows that the number of shad brought here tnat season for consumption was 625,637, her- 240; tay lors, 69,841; bunches pee. 1,000; total pounds of of oysters, 569,372; 250; clams, 1,163,000.

They are not coming in much as yet. ‘he season for them comes on about the mid- dle of November and continues up to Jan- uary. There’s nothing better than a fat py gobbler roasted with plenty of stuf- ing; cranberry sauce is indispensabdie; celei ofcourse. The large game in our market supplied largely from North Carolina, Ten- Dessee, And the Dorthwestern States, espe- cially for grouse and turkeys. SMALL GAME. Partridges and pheasants come on with November, and as yet but few have made thelr appearance here. The latter are said to _be scarce this year. ‘Woodeock are very scarce, the cause of which is thought by sportsmen to be the big rub méde on them last fall. They sell for $3.50 to $5 per dozen now. Toere are other small birds in market, supplied through the sources already named. THE TIME FOR ORTOLAN AND REED BIRDS bas ed for the present year. Thi for these birds is from the middle of August to the last of September. Ortolan are never seen after the Orst frost ap; and reed birds disay With the barvest season. The habits of the former area ede! § to sportsmen, &s no one appears to know where ey come from, nor where they go, and as tbey are never seen to fly in flocks like other mm ory birds, the belief prevails that they travel in the night time, following through the marshes and low grounds bor- dering on rivers and streams, toward a warmer climate. In thesouthern states they are known as ‘aore,” and about morthero waters ag the “rail.” They somewhat re- semble the crow duck, in form, but are much smaller. Their fiesh, in season, 1s fat, tender and delicious, and for this mouch sought after, and in consequence are becoming scarce in our marshes. They bring in = markets from $1 to #2 per dozen very readily. Reed birds appear about the same time With the ortolan. They are a grainiferous bird and fatten on the seed of the wild oats on our river flats,and the seed of other grasses in the fields adjoining the rivera, and disappear with the harvest season. They travel in immense flocks; thousands are shot annually in our marshes, and dur- ins the season they are usually very plenti- fal in our markets. The price for them early sometimes is ag high as $2 per dozen, but as the supply increases the price de- creases to 50 cents or even less. ‘hen seed is plentiful they become very fat, sometimes bursting the skin when they drop to tie round &t the crack of the huntsman’s gun. ‘he double-barrel gun with small bird shot ig generally used in this sport, as, when Ubey rise in dense flocks, the nuntsman has @ reserve shot for them, which is generally the bestone. The.popular manner of cook- ing is by broiling, and they are served on toast. Another excellent way of cooking them isin pot pie—celery acco: niment, of course—and wnén they are well season and cooked make a dish ‘fit fora Ree The reed bird is thought to be the rice bird of the south and the boboliuk of the norta. ry The Fire Department. MEETING OF THE COMMISSIONERS LAST NIGHT. A meeting of the board of fire commis- missioners was held last night at their room in the Morrison Building; present, Mesars.
