ScafOrd Notes.

SEAFoRD, Del, Dec. 4.-The oyster
packing industry here is a very clever
business. Barometer indicating the con-
dition of business in the West, East and
North. Oysters are shipped from Sea-
ford as far north as Canada, and west
beyond the Mississippi. Our packers con-
cede that the demand for oysters is
double that of last season, and report the
trade as giving satisfactory results in the
matter OF a profit and prompt payments
by their customers. For the past three
seasons this branch of trade has been
slow and operated at little or no profit
to the packers. The present outlook is
very encouraging.

Plttsburg Jan. 1zzThe special commitz tee appointed at the last meeting of the American Bessemer association to fig ure out plan by which the defunct pool may be again placed on it's feist as the great dictator of prices in the iron and steel world has eompleted it's report which will be presented at a meeting of the msfnbers to be held Monday next. probablys in Pittsburgs. but possibly in New York. The identify of the commit- tee is not known. The report prepared by them will, however, astonish the iron and steel world beyond doubt.
 The plan is that the larger concerns will buy up the allotment of the older and smaller mills and pay the owners to turn the keys in the doors and prac- tically retire from the billet msnufac- turing businesstWith1 1the expectation of pocketing the dividends that they will re- ceiVe from the conceTrs that will then make the bil1ets for the whole country. In this respect the bilRt pool will emulate the methods lof the bail pool but with more hopes OF success
 The contamination of the project means that the trade in biliets and finished pro- ducts would be confined to larger produc- CTS, or concentration of production placed in the handspfya few large firms who will then conHol production, set the price and share with the idle mill owners.
