The large dealers get their supplies almost
entirely from the Florida waters. Fish are
plentiful there, too, and the dealers are
having no difficulty in getting all they
want
Tbs dealers say that the price of oysters
is about 30 per cent higher this season than
last and that the supply is not as great.
Various reasons are given in explanation of
this. Some say the natural beds are be-
coming exhausted and that the city's
oyster supply will before long have to be
obtained outside of Chatham county

Lively Bidding for Unclai1n ed Express
Packages.


Lively Bidding for Unclaimed Express
Packages.
Yesterday was the ''ole horse" sale of the
Southern Express Company, and Auctioneer
Z. ID. Dorsett disposed of a quantity of the
accumulated valuablee. which the company
has been holding for consignees who never
came, to speculative purchasers.
The crowd ia attendance was not very
large, but it was eager TO try it's luck and
the bidding was lively. The sale was like a
lottery, and the bidder went on the theory
that every package might contain prize.
everything went, from an unclaimed
vallse to hand organ and package of cut
flowers marked for immediate delivery. to
ny fan. The character Of most of the ar
ticles was undistinguishable, but pntent
medicine, law b >oks and band boxes con-
talnlng last summers bonnets brought
good prices. Several peGdlers were on
hand laying in miscellaneous stocks
to be disposed of to advantage throughout
the country. When a package was put up
two or three parties would bid stem" and
up 1t would go to Fifteen, - TWENTY-FIVE"
thirty, forty" fifty" where, If it was a
small package, it would rest awhile, to be
finally knocked down at 65 or 20 cents
len packages were sold under so cents
Aatse packages usually ran up TO 81 ana 81,
without regard TO contents.
AS purchasers were not allowed to take
packages from the Office until the sale
concluded, the prizes were not
made known during the sale. and the crowd
continued to bid without learning the re-
suit of its investments. If any one secured
money, watches, diamonds or other valua-
hles with their purchases they kept it to
themselves.
The sale lasted from 10 to 2 o'clock A
large quantity of packages were left on
hand at the close Of the sale, which will be
continued to-day.

The Board OF Education Has Heard
Nothing from Elk 7resiGent Hayes.
1t is not certain now that ex-President
Hayes and DR.. J. L. NJ. Curry will visit
Savannah on their tour of inspection of the
schools of the south in behalf Of the Pea
body and Slater educational funds, although
it has been announced on their trip that
they would come here. Supt. Baker nor
Col. Mercer. president Of the board Of edu-
cation, have not yet resolved any notice Of
any intention on their part TO visit Savau-
nab. Though their visit is OF no especial
interest, the board Of education would be
glad to have them come here and
examine the workings OF the
public schools. Savannah receives nothing
direct from either the Peabody or the
Slater fund. If ex-President Hayes aud
DR.. Curry should visit Savannah they
might give the colored college favorable
consideration for place on their list of
beneficiaries.
