The Traffic in Sea Shells,

A reporter of the Los Angeles (Cal. }
Telegram recently interviewed the sea
shell dealers in that city and obtained
many interesting facts. One of the deal
ers said:
"The Tahiti shell, or the 'mother-of-
pearl shell, are brought to California
from the island of Tahiti, where the ma
tives dive for them and bring them to
the surface of the sea for barter with our
traders. You have little idea of the
value of these shells (taking down one
about the size of tea saucer.) This
one is worth $1.50 at wholesale, and this
(taking down one as large as dinner
plate) is worth 81. sold pair in San
Francisco the other day not much larger
thanI these for $50. A few weeks ago I
received an order from one of my cOrre-
spondents in Paris for lot of mother
of-pearl Shells I was in San Francisco
next day, and in three days filed an order
for shells amounting to $40, ,O92, which
was shipped direct to Paris"
'tThat basket you see there is full of
pearl oyster shells from La Paz, on the
Mexican coast" There was, perhaps,
half bushel of the shells which were of
the size of the "second size eastern
oyster" sold in restaurants. These
pearl oysters are more fiat and regular,
and upon the outside have radiating
rows of grooves from the thick portion
of the shell. "That little basket of
oyster shells is worth $75, " continued
Mr.. Levy. "What for?" ''Oh, for
button-making. They are used for the
surface of pearl buttons, and sometimes
are more valuable than at this time.
The blue-green abalone shells are
found upon the coast of Mexico and
Lower California, and are gathered by
trading and fishing boats. They are
larger and more beautiful than the Cali
fornia abalone shells, and command a
high price. The black California aba
lone shell is the next most desirable of
sea shells in commerce. This is gath
cred principally by Cinnamon along the
coast, who dry the meat and sell the
shells. These are used for inlaid work
upon boxes, furniture, knife-handles
and jewelry, and bring about 81, 900 per
ton., Europe is the principal marketfor
them. Then there is the common gray
abalone shell, which is annually gath
cred all along the coast, and has q mar
ket value of 800 per ton. Another i'm
portant branch of the shell trade is that
Of "small shells" which are sold at the
rate of $50 and $75 per 100 pounds.
These are gathered upon the shores Of
the southern coast and the islands in the
Pacific Ocean and shipped from here in
sacks to various ports in Europe, where
they are used in the manufacture oi
various kinds of ornaments. ~.
