How the Bivalves Are Treated at 1salti-
more for Export.
The shipment Of ten barrels of oysters
to London was the subject of much COM
me'!t yesterday among Baltimore oyster
dealers, says Il recent issue of the Sun
The oysters came from the lower Kappa
hammock river in Virginia and are of
particularly fine quality. James Cochran
Of .Urbana, Va, is the shipper. He is
an Englishman, who has recently moved
to Virginia to go into the oyster business.
His principal shipments, and particularly
those of his choicest oysters, will be to
London.
He does not regard his shipment as an
experiment. for he has been sending Oys-
tcrs abroad for some time past from
Long island. The oysters of the Chesa-
peake and it's tributaries possess keep
ing qualities superior to the oysters from
other waters, and Mr.. Cochran is conf
dent his oysters will arrive in London in
good condition. They were brought to
Baltimore On the Weems line steamer
Essex.
Mr.. Cochran uses a peculiarly con-
structed barrel for his shipments. and il
is said the barrel and the manner of
packing it tend to keep the oysters in
condition. Each oyster is placed in the
barrel separately and with it's mouth up.
When the barrel is filled tightly, Il strong
pressure is put OH it and the hoops are
frightened. This squeezes the oysters to-
gether as much as it is possible to do
without crushing the shells, giving them
no chance to open their mouths
Both heads of the barrel are double
and the barrel is kept with it's head next
to the mouths of the oysters upperinost.
The idea in packing the oysters so tightly
7ffd of keeping their mouths up is to
prevent the escape of their liquor OH
which they are supposed to feed during
transit.
Several years ago muzzled oysters were
shipped from Baltimore to London. The
nluzzling process requiring the muzzling
of each oyster by a piece Of WIRE which
passed around it and was frightened at
the mouth, sealing it. This was done to
prevent the escape of the liquor.
