Louisiana Oyster Trade.

One of our best State resources,
oyster fishing, says the Sugar.Bowl,
has heen too much neglected. The
oysters FROM some of our coast beds
tllke those on Bayou Cook, in
P%laquemine parish,) have a national
reputation. but no sufficient effort
has ever been made to fully develop
this industry here. Few realized
the possible magnitude o. the oys.
ter trade, until eaterprising Morgan
City merchants a few years since
began the packing business, and their
trade grew so rapidly with Western
Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico,
Colorado and even California and
our sister Republic of Mexico, that
large shipments are now made by
the cor load to points named. At
all times a perfect aeet of oyster
boats (called iuggers) can be seen
lying at their wharves, unloading at
the packing houses which line the
banks Of Berwick's Bay. and the
shells are carried off by the car
loads, probably to be used for street
paving or to he converted into lime
or fertilizers, being admirably adap-
ted for either purpose.
Since the celebrated Lynn Haven
and Baltimore oysters are not supe.
rior to ours il Louisiana, we soon
hope to see u oyster beds as fully
protected and as thoroughly cultiva.
ted as are the former, when the
revenue derived from this source
will add largely to the wealth of
our own people. There are many
packing houses in the city, and we
heard Of another large establishment
of tho kind near the Gulf, in Plaque.
mine parish, but we believe the
latter is not now operated. Capital
thus invested is certain Of a hand.
