Record Rockfish Catch Is Stopped By Northwest Wind
A northwest wind halted the Potomac rockfish bonanza at Colonial Beach Virginia. Fishermen had hauled a 72 hour heavy catch toward markets in Baltimore and New York but were warned of possible enforcement checks on Virginia conservation rules amid reports some fish may exceed state limits. Senator Crowder urged both Maryland and Virginia to review the situation due to sport and economic impact. A large school near Westmoreland State Park sparked early hauls of 20 to 30 tons, followed by 80 to 100 tons with larger nets before fishing paused to load for market.

Food Prices Down But 34 Percent Survey Reveals
Retail sales show a slight easing while surveys note buyer resistance growing. The steel price hike is deemed inflationary by the American Bankers Association, yet Republic Steel president Charles M. White says prices are not high enough. Grain prices fell in Chicago and stocks drifted downward in New York as markets stayed nervous and near-term gains narrowed. Cotton rose modestly on China aid program news for 750,000 bales. Overall, margins of change remained small and a temporary leveling off is possible after a week of stabilization.
