THE AUGUST STORM HAS RE
DUCHD SI1PRI.Y

THE AUGUST STORM HAS RE-
DUCDD SUPPLY.
The return of the oyster dredge boats
from their first weeks work in North
Carolina Sounds, says the New Bern.
y. c.. Journal, makes a. deDlorable
showing in results Of oysters secured.
Where 1t is usual for dredgers to get
one hundred bushels and upwards per
day, the result for the first week this
season shows but fifty to hundred
bushels of oysters and this with the
prospect that the rest Of the season is
likely TO be equally as barren in getting
oysters.
Never before have such preparations
been made in Eastern Carolina in the
oyster business.
Canncries have been built at all con-
venicnt points along the sounds, new
boats have been built and brought here
to engage I'm dredging, and all that was
needed was oysters, to cause the great
est scene of activity and. work for the
people of the scashore section OF this
State.
The outlook to-day is all changed by
the return of the dredge boats after u
weeks attempt in getting oysters.
That oysters had suffered severely
from the August storm, had been noted
in the Journal weeks ago, but 1t was
thought. that only in places, or along
the more shallow grounds would The
oysters be found dead.
Oysters received here during the
present season have all been found to
be sandy or muddy, and very careful
washing was needed to make them III
for use.
Now the dredgcrs report that the oys-
tcrs have been killed by being smoth-
cred by the mud deposits, which the
August storm carried in quantities and
spread over the oyster beds in the
deeper waters, thus practically burying
the oysters, at the same time killing
them
There will be places in the North,
Carolina Sounds where oysters can be
found, but the opinion OF oyster men
at present is that there will be small
business in oysters this season. while so
far as the canning business is concerned
the outlook is that there will be none.
Never in the history of the oyster trade
of North Carolina has the outlook been
so serious, with ruin staring the smaller
dealers in the face.

ECLIPSE OF The MOON.
WHAT THE ASTRONOMERS HAVE
PROMISED TONIGHT.

An eclipse of the moon practically
total. will be visible tonight, unless
the people have been misled by calcu-
lations similar to those which beguiled
them into spending sleepless nights
watching for the November meteoric
showers.
The moon will enter the shadow OF
the earth at 5:45 p. M. central time,
reach the maximum of obscuration at
7:2G p. H., ana will leave the shadow
of the earth at 9:04 y. m The shadow
OF the earth will cover almost the en-
tire disk of the moon. excepting a
small section, which. under certain con-
ditions, may be altogether invisible. If
the atmospheric conditionsnare favora-
bic for observation the obscurcd moon
will appear as n copper red disk at the
time of the greatest observation, owing
to the diffused light it receives from
the lyS of the sun refracted through
the atmosphere of the earth.
It will he visible over nearly all of
the United States, in Europe and in
