There are good prospects for the oyster
business this season. Generally speaking
they will be as plentiful 90 heretofore. A
letter received by A. L. Ainsoow from a
prominent planter Of Morris Cove, N. j.,
states that the oysters OF that name
"havs the promise Of being extra good
this season."
There is law existing, passed by the
Maryland legislature, that no oysters BIZ
dredged in the waters Of that state from
the 18th April to the let Of November.

lat OF September. The latter Ia slower
process than dredging and less dsstruo.
tive TO the seed and bed. This restrictive
action Of the Maryland legislature will
tend to make oysters little high and
scarce till November. Cove plants will
be run till the last mentioned date, being
better at the commencement Of the
season, until the frosts OF November,
when the Chssapeakss will come In and
hold their own till the end Of the season
In April. The old brands Of Tangiers,
Pocomokes, Cherrystonee, &c., will be on
the market as usual.
The Chesapeake and its tributaries are
the great natural oyster fields Of the
Atlantic coast, whereas the more north
trly beds trending along the coast as
far as Long Island and its northern
extremity are more or less artificial oyster
beds. The same. remark is applicable in
large degree to the Delaware bay oys.

extend 20 miles or so from Morris Cove
towards Cape May. At Morris Cove to-
day 1t ia positive that there are not less
than 100 boats engaged in dredging and
longing. They supply the markets OF
Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey,
and the interior OF Psnnsylvanis.
Outside of Baltimore, Crisfeld is the
largest oyster shipping point in Mary
land. The Tangiers, Pooomoke and
Potomac brands are all shipped from that
point.
II is stated that the consumption Of
oysters in Wilmington would rate about
l,200 bushels Of outings brought to
the local market weekly, the bulk of
them being shipped from Seaford.

Crisfeld. OF cove plants from Delaware
bay there is an average Of $4,000 shipped
weekly to the Wilmington market, and
$50 bushels of cove outings in boats.
