/ A local dealer sums UP the oyster
| trade as follows: THE mild weather
has resulted in all the craft being used
in catching up stock and the supply is
more than ample for the trade, which
is fairly active. The weather has not
been conducive to shipping of oysters.
| With cooler weather there will be
better demand and prices are bound to
advance. Later in the season the shar-
pies will suspend work and the catch
will not be as large. The stock is of
excellent quality, better than the
southern stock, and accordingly Fair
Haven ought to get the best part of the
| trade. Very little southern stock will
be brought here this month
