fitted for cotton, rice, snd sugar-eare. Green
ueas can be had in any month. Frosts are

THE BALTIMORE OYSTER TRADE The
trade in this city 10 oysters was once a very
heavy and important item, but it mas decreased
somewhat during thus far the present season.
1t is true that the extensive oyster exportin g
houses have given employment as usual to seve-
raj thousand operatives in the shucking, steam
ing and packing OF the delicious blvalveS Tor the
great Western and Southwestern trades, but
the retail business-that of the numerous pro.
prietorS of restaurants and other public houses,
has fallen eff considerably, Tor two reasons
First, that the quality of oysters brought to
this port are interior to those OF previous years
and second, that the prices have advanced
The advance is attributable to the fact that the
agents in Norfolk of New York and Boston
public houses pay the highest prices for the
best quality Of oysters taken in the waters OF
Virginia and Nary land, which are regularly
shipped in the steamers Of Baltimore and Rich
mond for those ports, and the freight charged
is but very little more than that charged for
transportation to Baltimore. And then it
should be observed that number OF wealthy
persons residing near the river forks of the
Empire State are paying liberal prices for the
best quality Southern water oysters for the pur-
nose of transplatng them near their own resi-
dences, which readily spawn and produce very
superior salt water article. The proprietors of
Baltimore restaurants who supply their Gus
toners with the best oysters frequently pay rs
much as one dollar and fifty cents per busheI
and sometimes at the rate of six dollars per
barrel. The steamers of the Bay line generally
bring up Norfolk oysters which always con-.
mand high prices.-B0N I'm.

PAPER CLOTHING AND ARTICLES OF USE
The Japanese paper haudkcrchiets are assur-
cdy coming, ii contemporary be right. The
paper collar manufacture now has been extend
ed to less prominent but more important gar
ments of great strength and feSibility, which
can be sewed with machine, giving seams
almost as strong as woven fabric. The lnven-
tor has particularly applied it to the produc-
ton of pctticoats, which are either printed in
imitation of the fashionable skirts of the day, or
stamped out with open work OF such beauty
and delicacy as no amount Of labor with Sos
sors and needle could initiate. The marvel is
that these really beautiful productions can be
sold at retail at fifteen cents each. Imitation
crctonncs and chiptz for bed furniture are also
made, Il set costing at retail about $3.50. The
lelted material is so flexible that curtain may
be twisted into rope and shaken out again,
showing as little creasing as chin'z similarly
treated. There are tablccloths embossed with
signs of great beaut y.-This fclted paper may
