There is also prospect that this stock will be received in even larger measure nsxtiwin- ter, for if there should be g good set this coming summer it will be st least three years before the oysters are sufficiently grown for use Two vessels are now diecharging southern stock at the South Front street wharves, and they will leave again for an- other consignment.

In Connecticut the wheelmen will make similiar attempt before legislature next winter.
