OyStermen Consolidate.

New York. Nov. 2-The oystermen Of
Long Island sound are said to be prepar-
ing to consolidate their interests. Such
an attempt was made last spring, but
the movement proved unsuccessful. The
present movement is said to deal with in
terests capitalized as high as 10000 900.
Such combination will save about ST.
0OO, 900 year, it is said, and will protect
the seed men from the present downward
drop of prices. Ten years ago the rul-
ing price for oysters Of the first quality
was 20 cents to 81 bushel. Export oys-
ters We're then in demand at So to $6 a
barrel. Now the price paid for market
able oysters is only so to SO cents bushel
and $3 barrel is the top notch for those
shipped to Europe. One reason which
is given for this decline is that the mid
dlemen are making the money. These
middlemen buy the seed which develops
from oyster spawn deposited on the sub
merged lands of the seed men along the
Long Island SOUND shores and, taking
it to the Narragansett bay, New York
and New Jersey, they re'tant the seed
after the oysters nave matured. They
sell their product to the scow men as they
are called in New York city. The scow
men sell to the consumer.

The Dewey Wedding.

New York, Nov "A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says: The wedding of Admiral Dew
ey and Mrs. Hazen, society says, will be
performed by Archbishop keane or Car
dinal Gibbons. Some say the wedding
will be brilliant private affair, others
that it will be a brilliant church affair.
Some of Mrs. Hazen's friends say that
in all probability, Mrs. Hazen would pre-
fer to be married at the residence of her
mother, Mrs. Washington Mclean, and
that the officiating clergyman will be
Archbishop <eane. formerly rector of the
Catholic university. Mrs. HaZen was
received into the Catholic church by
Archbishop keane about six years ago
She was raised a Presbyterian but was
attending st. Johns Episcopal church
at the time of her conversion. The gen
eral impression is that by virtue of a dis
pensation from the pope, the wedding
ceremony be performed in a church or
whether it is performed a a private resi-
dence the affair will be as brilliant as the
high position of the admiral and social
prestige and wealth of Mrs. Hazen lead
society to expect.

In the Delavan hotel last night Tom

Sharkey, made one of the tiggest bets
recorded on the fight He wasered

the Jeffries end of the bet ORourke is
confident that his man will win and has
more money to wager at the same ouds.
Many smaller bets were made at 10 to I,
although in some instances the hackers
of Jeffries got 4 to for their money.
The indications are that the odds
against Sharkey will shorten rather than
lengthen. Already the impression that
Sharkey has an even chance or better
of winnig this battle is gaining and it
will be even money and take your pick.
Both men will come to town to-day. This
