Prices of shad were much lower than Iast week, the roes being quoted at 45 and bucks at 35 cents a pound. Hickory jacks sold at 20 cents, while herring were offered at 15 cents a pound. Pike. white and yellow perch, carp and catfish, caught in Winter seines in | ks emptying into the Potomac be- | v Alexandria, claimed attention of retailers and consumers, some of the carp being alive. Small perch sold at 15 and large ones at 20 cents a pound. Other Fish Prices. A price of 35 cents a pound was quoted for pike, the fish being in de- mand and supplies being small. Carp brought 25 cents, the catfish selling from 5 to 10 cents a pound. Spanish mackerel and trout, received from North Carolina, found ready sale at 20 cents a pound. Speckled trout and rockfish were scarce, the former selling at 30 and the latter at 32 cents. Canadian smelts were offered at 35 cents. Crabmeat, received from Biloxi, Miss., and Crisfield, Md., was scarce and high, selling at 75 and 85 cents a pound. | Shrimp were reported plentiful from the | South, the green shrimp seling at 35 and the cooked at 65 cents a pound.

Lima_beans, product of Cuban grow- ers, and strawberries, fresh from Florida, were attractive commédities in the com- mission house district this morning. Limas. not very plentiful, were offered at $10 a basket, the high price of the season, while the strawberries, very plentiful, sold as low as 25 and 35 cenis a quart. Retailers were asking $1.25 for the shelled beans, a price, they stated, which enabled them to little more than break even. The beans were in splendid con- dition, presenting an appearance equal to that of the home-grown product dur- ing the Summer season. Eggplant, also & product of Cuban growers, soid around $5 and $5.50 & box. String beans and peppers were among other vegetables received from Florida, the beans selling at $2 and $2.50 a basket.

Receipts of chickens this morning were reported heavy, dealers also receiv- ing quantities of turkeys, geese, ducks | and keats. Capons also were reported fairly plentiful.
