The Oyster Trade OF Baltimore.


Tho difficulty Of obtaining data at the close OF the last
year prevented tho possibility Of giving an approximate
idea Of the extent Of the oyster trade for 1901 Before
the breaking Of hostilties between the North ana
south th1e were three hundred vessels varying IA size
from forty to hundred tons, engaged IN the r
portation OF oysters from the beds to this city Inc
best Of the stock then brought from the wa
ers in the vicinity of Norfolk the York river and the
coast OF Accomac the Eastern Shore Of Virginia From
the date OF the blockade the whole business from the
Western Shore has been entirely cut off, and vhat from
the Eastern Shore to about month ago From these
points the largest packers procured their CHIEF supplies
the oysters being far superior to those found FUR
ther up the Chesapeake At that time employment was
Furnished ON the vessels at the oyster beds and in the
cty the last named as handlers shnckers timers and
carpenters TO upwards Of three thousand persons the
whose Of whom drew their supplies either directly or in
directly from the city.
The enforcement of the blockade the withdrawal OF
large portion Of the population Of the West and North
west nearer to the Atlantic board curtaed in great
measure the demand in that section, besides which the
destruction Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the main
artery TO the markets. the upon the other
lines OF made the business too hazardous
to risk heavy stock with rtanty how long they
would be ON the way before reaching their points Of dest
nation The result that the trade fell ofuy thirty
three per cent The entire trade did amount TO two
millions Of dollars whereas 1860 overreached three
millions OF dollars Tho trade, anticipating such condi
on OF things did not venture TO make arrangements for
large business and for two weeks before the close Of
the year when the temperature would admit OF the con
sumption Of more time in reaching the West and North
west, were not able to fully supply the demands
The spring trade was quite up to that OF the trade OF
the spring Of the preceding year but the fall large
number of the vessels were Obliged 10 seek other en-
ployment and those engaged in taking oysters from the
Virginia beds were left without the OF support,
except 10 accept of such employment existing hos
ttes afforded tnem The trade the Eastern Shore
Of Virginia has been greater than before knewn
since the raising Of the blockade bit the supply from
that quarter will scarcely more than supply the mme
date wants OF the city tor immediate use that
paravely few oil them fall into the hands Of packers
because Of the enhanced prices which they command.
Within the past two months the number Of dealers has
considerably increased the year has opened
with more favorable prospect though it will be still i'm
possible for the trade 10 reach the point at which II stool
until the waters OF Virginia unobstructcd nd the
pressure the lines Of communication with the West Is
relieved considerable trade with New Orleans and
other Southern cities u.s. of COURSE entirely stopped for
the present.
