From The Baltimore Gazstte.l
The oyster trade OF Bsliim0re during
the year that has Just closed was one Of
the most imDottant-if not the most iule
p0FJaDt-ia the city. The Eivalves Of
the ChesapesEs bay are recognized
throughout the country TO be the best,
ana they always find a market waer-
ever they go. 80 great has the demand
for them becOme that il is estimated the
trade Of the past year alone reached fOar
millions o. dollars. Under 2 law OF the
State Of Maryland ali vessels engaged in
dredging f3r " sters Ia any part of the
bay, y h.u the limits Of the State. are
required - frat obtain q license. There
are now working under license four hum
dred vessels, all OF which bring their
oysters 10 Baltimore. Sesides these ves-
seis W6.yn Icedge, there are many Others
which purCEa { from those who gather
oysters with tODgs In the creeks, cOves
and sounds where the dredgs boats are
prohibited from operating. Tha soar

are EN- mpiOye0-as shuckers, timers and
packers about five thousand persons.
one fiftb Of whom are females, who are
found quite servieeable in thoss estah-
lishmeuts where the oysters are steamed
before opening. AIost Of the oysters pre-
pared Ia B3ltim0Fe grs sent to The West
over the Baltimore a. d Oaio, and North
ern Central Railroads, each OF which
transport several tons a day, though
there sre many sent to Solih America,
California and Australia. The oysters
used 10 the restaurants Of the city are
prime pslly those taken from the creeks
and c9ves, and command much higher
prices than those taken by dredging
AnOtherfs feature connected with she oyster
trade is the conversion OF the shells into /
lime, which Gas become quite popular
40r Building purposes. There are several /
OF the packing establishments which
have kilns attached, and they burn the .
shells as fast as they can 0e disposed Of I
The smaller establishments give their 1
to others who burn kilns, and there are .
some eight or ten line yards, with from
one to six kilns, which are kept con-
atantly at work. The oy ster trade for the
past year was larger than ever before
known, and it promises to still increase.

ded in the above summary. These are
nOg in general use in all considerable
cities, and IN numerous instances in
places where population Is less dense.
Their economical bearings are fully re-
cognizsd, and their popularity Is iacress-
ing. Boston, New york, Brooklyn and
PniiSGelphla count their street railroad
tracks by hundreds Of miles. Probably
the total is not less than 1000 to 2j00
miles.
Nor have we Included in eur statement
any account of the second tracks with
which most OF the leading lines are sup
piled, nor the sidings and turn outs on
All the lines. These may be estimated
at twenty-five or thirty per eent OF the
length OF the road, and are being added
10 yearly. Adding these supplementary
tracks to the tsbula.ei mileage, we lnd
the total length OF equivalent single
trace In use is from 81 500 to 55 coo miles,
and il we add to this the equivalent for
the city passenger tracks, to nearly co.
00) miles. 1t IS now forty years since we
began TO build railroads, and in that
time We have built greater leEgth than
is to ps found ia the whole of Earor-,
Progress leads but to new demands and

THE FagIish papers assert that the
people OF India have not adequately
taken advantage Of the opportunities ar
fordsd them by the civil war IN the
United Statss TO acquire pre-eminence in
the cultivation Of cotton. To Improve
the quality of cotton, to increase the
production, to open or remove al exist
Iug obstacles, to provide better roads and
ample means OF Irrigation, and, in short,
to make diligent use Of all the appliances
which exist, in order to retain and in
crease so valuable trade, it is stated,
should be an object Of constant solieitude.
The new Governor-Generalo Ct India, it
is believed, will exert simself in the pro-
motion Of the cotton interests in that
country.
