THE OYSTER TRADE OF Barr,nop

The OYSTER TRADE OF Observation-Disclosures
ding to the Baltimore American, the oyster trade
OF the city is equal to greater than the product
of all the wheat and corn raised in the State of
Maryland. The whole shores of the Chesapeake
Bay andts tributaries are adapted to the growth
of the oyster, and as but year is required for
their full growth, an immense profit accrues TO
those engaged in the busnees-a profit which is
estimated at some three hundred to six hundred
per cent. There are $50 vessels engaged in the
business, which average about 900 bushels to the
eargo and require nine or ten days for the trip
These vessels, making in the aggregate 5000
trips during the eight months in the year in which
they are engaged, give total of 4,s0o,000 BUSH
els per year sold in the Baltimore market, The
oysters bring an average price of fifty cents per
bushel, which gives grand total of 90, 400, 900
per year paid for oysters By TIE doalees IN the

The city Council of Pittsburg have passed
resolutions requiring the Ohio and Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to extend their track into the
city, with view to its connection there with the
road of the Pennsylvania Central Company This
will enable goods to be sent directly through
Pittsburg without transhipment and yet we find
the Council of the city sanctioning the connec-
ton, and the press urging its speedy completion.
Pttsburg does not seem to be afraid of through
travel and freight. We should be pleased to sec
the liberal and enlighted example of Pittsburg
generally followed. Ii will be remembered that
the President of the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad, in his last annual report, suggested n
convention of those interested in the connexions
from the Atlantic to the Mississippi river, with n
view of uniting in a concerted effort to liberate
the tonnage, which is destined to pass over the
line of roads now in process of construction be-
tween those limits, from all unnecessary charges
of transhipment. As yet we have seen no re-
Spouse TO the suggestion, and yet it is one which
well merits the approval and adoption of all who
are interested, land who is not y in the produc-
tions and commerce of the country. The petty
interests that feed upon the accidental drppngs
OF trade are not worthy of protection. Every
such leakage is loss without compensation,
and positive and unnecessary abstraction from
the profits of the producer or an addition that
could and ought to be avoided to the costs of the
consumer. The economy of trade and the inter
ests OF the country demand that the tonnage and
travel shall be conveyed at the very least charge
that may be renlunerative to those engaged in it,
transportation. All beyond this is levying q
tribute upon commerce but little better than pi
ratcal. The whole country is interested il
bringing all such piifering and peculation to al
end.
