HEAVY FISH SUPPLY INLOCAL MARKET Exceptional Variety for Sea- son of Year—Turkey Prices Advanced Today. Dealers at Municipal Fish Market this morning had a wide range of offerings to retallers who were on hand for supplies for thelr Friday trade. A suiprising feature of the market was the receipt of plentiful supplies of gray trout, butterfish and croakers from the east coast of Vir- ginfa, supplies of such fish seldom being received in large quanties after the middle of November. Croakers were quoted at $20 a harrel of 200 pounds, while a price of $30 was quoted for the trout. Rut- terfish, not &0 plentiful and in gnod demand, hrought $40. Spotted trout from North Carolina, one of the lead ers in today's market, brought 20 cents a pound. North Carolina fishermen also sup- plied the local market with sea bass and black bass, plentiful supplies of hoth varieties being on hand at cents a pound. There were plentiful rockfish, small_ white perch and catfish from Potomac. Rockfish were 25, perch at & and catfish at pound. - Fresh Spanish and king mackerel from Florida were quoted at 25 cents, frozen Boston mackerel being offered at 15. Fresh haddock, not so plentiful, sold at 8 cents, while the filet of the same fish, also less plentiful than last weelk, was quoted at 22 cents. Smelts, prod. uct of Canadian waters, were in de- mand at 25 cents, Whitingand ling fish, about which consumers are said to know very lit- tle, were quoted at 5 cents. Dealers av they are ag good as some of the more expensive fish. Oysters continue plentiful and in good demand at prices quoted last week. Possibly due to decreased receipts and a steady demand, prices of tur- key have taken a jump, prices of the live hirds advancing from 40 to 43 and while prices of chickens took an approximately corresponding drop.

Upon_completion of these two proj- ects Guif Oil will commence develop- ment of two additional wells. Buy- ing of Lion Oil and Refining reflected the highly favorable earnings state- ment for the first nine months’ oper- ations made public today.
