WARFIELD “SIMPSON, Expert Tailor, 1208 F st. “Fishtown” presents a scene of business activity just now that is probably not equaled in any other line of business. Cer- tainly there is no complaint of business depression and dull times, for there has been a good market for shad and herring all this season, and the weather has been exceptionally good. Concerning the out- come of the season, fishermen differ. Some say that it has been the best season for years, while others say their profits are smaller than usual. But even with smaller profits than usual, some of the dealers are satisfied, for there have been seasons when Bode 00 05b0S0000 0S" D8 GOS tHave You Secured a supply of Canvas, Brashes, Oil, Water gnd China Colors for eae | there were no profits, but when the keep- ssoss can ec peat eke oe aes ing of a crew down the river was an ex- plied. — Studies, as as articles for pense which the sale of the fish would not ee on hand.

But the dealers have ten days ad- ditional in which to dispose of the stoc hand, so that in reality the season clo on the 10th day of June. Aft the dealers t care to ha so they say, the reason that the salt water fish, spots, Spanish mackerel, trout and others, are arriving, and also for the reason that there is no longer any de- mand for the fresh water fish.

Fishermen thought that the early run of fish in March would last only for a few days, and that the high March winds and cold weather would come as usual and put an end to the fishing, for some days at least. For this reason some of them would not go to the expense of starting their seines until late, and there- by lost the advantage of the big prices during the first run.

Thus, the shad and herring trade gave employment to several thousand persons, men, women and children, and furnished free food to hundreds of others. The trap nets were set in the river all the way from Hunting creek to the capes, ana although the seines have now been in opera- tion for several weeks, many of these small traps are still there, and their own- ers are doing a good business.

A local dealer, speaking of the shad and herring season, said he thought this had been a very successful season so far. It is true, he said, that rone of the fishermen have made any great sums of money, but they have all made something. When there was a sign of a glut in the market early in the season some of the seine haulers became uneasy because the market was low and sluggish. But after that the mar- ket became firmer and higher prices pre- vailed.
