 In consequence Of the recent da,na- ges by the hurricane to the natural oyster beds it is estimated that the damage by the storm will reduce the catches for the remainder of the sea- son to less than one-half, and it may be several years before the beds are ir | good condition again. The spawn had 1 attained a good growth and some not ! buried too deeply in the sand may be 1 gain the surface. It is expected that the catch hereafter will not aver age more than thirty or forty bushels g day, although some boats may go as high in their catch as seventy-five. Be | fore the storm catches were 175 or 200 l bushels, The price of spawr, will rise 1 to some extent and to help cover the damage to the beds and the loss to the oystermen. A large number of the | fishermen who were thrown out of lu- crative employment by the ruin of the I Bridgeport natural beds have returned l and are working or their private cul- l tivated grounds preparing for the mar l kets. The Rotons Point and Fish Isl and natural beds are practically unin- jured and about 175 craft are still al work on them. Many of the Long Isl and buyers have gone home, however and it is believed there will be no mate i rial advance in prices because of the present scarcity of seed from the 1 Bridgeport beds. Great damage has been done during the past summer by ! drills and starfish along the oyster beds between this city and Bridgeport
