LAKE ERIE FiSH HOLD TRADE Strike Cats Off Shipments From Moat of Other Districts. Lake Erie arrivals have almost monopoliz'd the local fish trade during tha teat few daya because of the railroad strike. Shipmeats from Chesapeake bay and from the south have practically ceased to arrive, but there are a number of reeeipta from Florida. Among the Lake Brie fish which came in are yellow perch. Jack salmoa, medium blues and No. 1 and 3 pickerel. The strike has cut off oyster shipments. Haddock are 2 cents a pound higher, but lobsters have dropped 30 ceuts a pound because of a larger supply. A dealer expect* to receive fresh turtle* from Florida next week which will sell at about 20 cents a pound. Fish prices are generally unchanged and the demand is slack since Raster.
