Reported for the Beacon.
Der 25th.

On Wednesday, September the 18th, "a
number Of ladies and gentlemen Of St
Georges Island went on a picnic, first
to Little Island and subsequently TO st.
Mary's City. The party left at Q p. m.
A more beautiful day we eonid not
have had The sun was shining brightly
and the breeze was delightful. Some Of
the ladies had strong inclination to be
frightened, especially when the boat
which was large one, listed much 10
one side. Their fears were allayed by
the Captain In whom we had implicit
confidence
Alter we were some distance out ia
the river we found the wind so high that
Il was difficult for the ladies TO keep
their hats on. Two OF them Invested
Themselves Of their hats and placed them
in seemingly secure place near the bow
Of the boat. The crowd was seated in
the rear, and were by no means quiet,
when suddenly our attention was, at
tracted by a noise In the bow and all the
ladies, especially, turned In the direction
of the hats and TO our utter astonishment
we saw one Of the hats profuscly trimmed
in feathers and wings mysleriously rails

men its flight was arrested before IL got
beyond the sides OF the boat.

The Oyster Law Decision.

Friday last, Chief Judge Briscoe rem
dered the decision in the Patuxent oys-
ter case, deciding against the local law
and declaring the fishery rights in the
river to be held In common The gist
of the decision was, that the general
oyster law repealed all Acts, general
and local, inconsistent with its proyis-
ions, and as tho general law was APPROX
cd subsequently to the local law, that
thereby the local law was repealed and
nullifed, Further, that although the
general law prescribed division OF the
fishery rights between the citizens Of the
two counties that this Court had years
ago decided that the fishery rights in the
river were In common and that decision
would stand until reversed by a higher
Court.

might not be let. but that the work might
be done under the immediate supervision

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
The FURRY in steel IndustrIRIs the
Feature of the Week.

cutuTt Oh Aht ~ cfh-
NEW YORK, April 2I-"Dun's Review
today says:
Formal reductions Of s. per ton in prices
of plates and bars and the closing Of mills
by the American Steel and Wire Company
to avoid reduction in prices have filled the
week with surprises. In the Stock Market
and in the market for steel and iron
products changes have begun, the end of
which cannot well be foreseen-
The depression in stocks extended to
railroad issues because Of strong efforts
to bring about reaction, doubtless aided
by the shifting OF loans made necessary
by the disposition of many bankers regard
ing Industrial securities Confidence based
on the heavy business Of the country md
the large earnings of railroads gave good
support to their stocks which declined
for the week an average of Ga cents per
share But the sensational losses of 81
per share or more in a day on some indus
trial stocks depressed that entire list to
point only about 81 per share above the
lowest average last year, that Of December
p. The street and gas stocks also averag-
ed decline OF SAB per share.
Apart from the disturbance in specula-
tion there has been produced a measure
OF distrust regarding prices that are main
tanned by the great combinations which
may for the present tend to deter buying.
In the iron business the formal reductions
were almost wholly anticipated in actual
sales Pig iron averages 6 per cent lower
than at its highest point, and finished
products average IA per cent lower.
There is a slightly better demand for
hides ar Chicago attributed to their i'm
proving condition but distribution of boots
and shoes does not keep all the factories
at work.
The textile industries have large orders
yet to be filed which keep many of the
mills busy, but there are many others less
fortunate and their hunt for orders with
out much regard for prices causes irregu-
larity in the lines not of established po-
sition.
Raw cotton is held at 9.s1 cents, with all
the more ease because there seems to be
nobody in this country impatient to buy
except in the speculative market. North
ern mills have taken with the stocks they
held last September enough for the whole
years needs.
Wheat has declined a fraction in price
and corn advanced a fraction, both mar
kets being rendered comparatively mac
tive by certainty that the remaining for
eign requirements Eill be easily met.
Money continues easy, Treasury payments
and receipts from the interior having add
ed about $4,000. 900 to the supply of New
York banks The volume OF business con-
tinues heavy, the earnings OF railroads in
April having exceeded last year by ia
per cent. thus far. o.
Failures for the week have been 1S4 in
the United States against 1874 last year and
IL IN Canada against % last year.
