The following interesting statistics in ref
erence to the Oyster trade Of Baltimore, we
take from the Sun:
The oyster trade within . few wears Fast
has become one of the most prominent OF
local business interests, and there are probs-
bly, few who have any idea Of its extent
The establishments engaged in it are gene
rally somewhat remote from observation,
and do not attract that attention which the
trade holds to the general business Of the city.
Ii now gives employment to three hundred
vessels, and commands the services of nearly
nine thousand persons. There are upwards
OF seven thousand persons engaged in catch
ing the oysters and bringing them to mar.
ket, an occupation confined exclusively to
the Chesapeake bay and it's tributaries. AZ
ter they reach the city about four thousand
men are employed in shocking, and about
five hundred in packing and preparing them
for transportation to the South and West.-
There are two hundred timers employed in
making the packages, and the work Of fifty
laborers is required in the conversion Of the
shells into lime. The whole quantity OF oys-
ters brought to the city during the wear, IN
TO the close OF the season, the 18th instant.
reached up to about l,75O,000 bushels. OF
these about 10000 bushels are packed in
the raw state, 50o,0O0 bushels preserved, and
the remaining $4,000 bushels are consumed
in the city. The cost Of the oysters to the
packer is about fifty cents per bushel, or an
aggregate Of $sT5, 900, the principal part OF
which is retained in the city Tor supplies, and
the amount paid to the shuckers Is about
VI 900, besides all other expenses incur
red before the ARTICLES shipped. The bust.
ness was begun only about twenty years ago,
and viii in the course Of few years, as the
market at the West increases, become one of
the most important branches Of trade. Con.
nected with this trade il that Of shell lime.
~hicn now goes up TO about 800, 900 bushels
per annum. large amount Of capital il
invested, and there is probably no other sin.
gle branch Of business tina, gives employ
ment to - many persons. Baltimore is ia
vorably located to absorb almost the entire
trade, having equal facilities for transpor.a-
ton, and with every arm Of the Chesapeake
filled with the stock, and procnrable at a
cost much less than to any other city.
