it gorged by excessive indulgence of the

stocks not yet distributed to consumers
stand in the way of new orders, and
competition of producing force largely
exceeding the present demand puts
down prices, that decline retarding pur-
chases yet more. After the holidays
men look for larger demand. Whether
large enough to support all the produc-

abnormal rush of buyers last summer

The Oyster Industry.

The Philadelphia Press says: "A dis
cussion I'm the Connecticut Legislature Of
n bill for the protection of the oyster-beds
along the shores OF that State brought out
the facts that there are 1900 acres given
up TO the cultivation Of oysters along
the Long Island Sound front OF COnnec-
ticut, and that the land and plants are
valued at si,0oO.o01 The product when
sod must return nearly $1,000 annually.
This will give an inking Of the snor-
nous value OF the business Of oyster
raising in this country The Connecticut
oyster-plant is only fraction Of the
value of the Chesapeake bay plant. The
latter is probably worth s200o,000. and
produces WY year several million dol
lars worth of oysters. That such a bust
ness deserves and should have full pro-
lection and regulation is plain TO any one.
The loss that may be incurred by the lack
OF proper care was shown at the time Of
the typhiod-fever outbreak at Wesleyan
University, which was traced 10 the eat
ing of diseased oysters. The reports OF
this event temporarily destroyed a protita-
BILE foreign trade that was being built up.
For the protection of the planters, as
well as OF the public. the whole business
Of oyster-rlising and marketing should
be put under strict regulations"
