A memorial, addressed to congress,
signed by twelve hundred or more bust
ness men and firms of Boston, urging
action on the joint resolution reported by
the House committee on foreign affairs,
April 2S, 1880, for the appointment of
commissioners on reciprocal trade between
the United States and Canada, is about to
be sent to Washington by the Boston
board of trade. This memorial rehearses
the persistent action of the national board
of trade and the local boards, and shows
that. Notwithstanding the urgent appeals
thus made, no vote has, during all these
years of effort to secure it. been reached
upon the subject matter of the resolution
and that the business interests, in asking
simply that congress will authorize
commission to investigate and report upol
this great question. ask only that informs
ton be obtained for the commercial an
public good.

The Chilli. Peruvian war is practically
closed by the capture of Lima. The

THE OYSTER BUSINESs-THE CAPITAL

IN BALTIMORE, The recent extreme cold
and Indictment weather says the Baltimore
SUI, has probably affected no interest
more than that of the oyster business.
Oysters selling at present for 80 cents to
81 IS per bushel commanded only 70 to
70 cents last season. 1t is estimated that
1000 dredgers. on 700 vessels, with AS
many captains, 5,l4S longs men and SOC
men engaged in ''soraping," are employed
in Chesapeake bay in gathering oysters
The amount of capital invested in dredging
boats is Sl,250,000, and the amounts in
vested in other boats, namely, scrapers
| runners and canoes, is nearly $l,0OO,00
Men who work at dredging probably suffer
more than any other working men in thi'
country. Their labor is onerous, exposing
them to all kinds of weather. rendering
. them liable TO disease. Notwithstanding
these hardships, there are men who hav
: followed the business for years, and prefe
