BLUE POINTS.
Something About These Aristocrats

Something About These Aristocrats
of the Bivalve Family.
A newborn oyster is a tiny heck Of
creamy substance, not much larger
than the point Of pin. Its advent in
countless numbers from the middle Of
July to the middle Of August is to the
oysterman Of Connecticut, where are
located probably the largest seed oyster
plants in the world, an event of the
utmost interest. Long Island sound
has some popularity of the water which
renders it especially favorable for the
raising of the choicest and most widely
sought oysters. Not only are here lo-
Gated thousands of oyster plantations,
but also immense natural oyster beds.
And here and there only is raised the
famous Blue Point oyster, the most
deIicately favored of its kind and In de-
mand the world over.
The Great South bay, on the outside
of Long Island, facing the ocean and
extending a distance of 30 miles from
the towns Of South Bay and Speonk, is
the headquarters of the entire produc-
ton Of the genuine Blue Point oysters.
The name is derived from a point of
land which juts out into the bay here,
called Blue point.
A combination of percentage Of salt
In the water, temperature, depth, con-
dition of bottom, together with some
indefnable quality possessed by the
latter which is different from any
other, gives to them their favor, which
has never yet been equaled by any Of
the various kinds of oysters raised in
America, and the oyster industry is by
far the most important fishing industry
in the United States. The Blue Points
are simply transplanted Norwalk and
Bridgeport seed oysters, which are TAX
en- from oyster beds and put into the
Blue Point beds in Great South bay,
where they attain maturity under the
most exalted and potent conditions,
which graduate them oyster aristocrats,
with regulations ready made, possess
ing the highest oyster valuation and
sought for as "Divine Points" in every
civilized Iand.-Hartford Times.

Designed to Be snow, Rain, Wind
and Sparrow Proof.
When man goes into his stable and
finds a bushel or two Of snow under
the ventilator shaft, he wonders If 1t
wouldn't be fully as conducive to the
comfort of his cows if he had less ven
tilation, and it is not essential that we
have snow to have ventilation, accord
ing to The Farmers Institute Bulletin,
which says the plan here shown will
solve the difficulty. A are windows
hung on easy working hinges. B is an
iron rod, not too heavy, connecting the
two windows and long enough so that
when one is closed the other will be
open, as shown in the large cut.
When there is no wind, the windows
will hang, as shown in small cut.
When the wind is in the west, the
pressure will close the window On that

NEW YORK, June S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
THE adjournment of congress, after q
successful session, the progress towards
peace in South Africa and the rapid ad-
justment of prices here to a more
natural level all tend to bring nearer
the day Of greater activity. But that
progress has not been rapid, and the
yielding OF prices affects many as a re-
action, cutting off part Of the profits sup
posed to have been secured. The i'm
preston grows also that no extensive
changes in business are now probable
until after the presidential election, and
the possibility Of trouble in China has
at least as definite an influence on
American affairs as any change In South
Africa The unsettled condition of labor
controversies, moreover, operates strong
" for the time to limit expansion of
domestic business; yet the volume of
business is so large that few months
of waiting could not excite any appre-
hensiOn.
1T is but a few days since an eminent
ironmaster overwhelmed doubts and
questions by the positive declaration that
any decline whatever in the price of
iron this year was simply impossible Yet
anthracite No. 1 has declined $425 per
ton, and this week the Bessemer asso-
citation has reduced it's price at Pitts
burg $3.50 per ton, and the Southern
makers 81 per ton, and the decline in
ratio of prices of pig iron from 1927 in
January to 1916 this week, and in the
finished products from 9S.O5 to 1901, does
not in fact show the entire change, as
the steel and wire companies guarantee
Of prices in case of further reduction re-
specting products not then shipped Is in
effect a concession. A few large con-
tracts are reported, but the new business
Is so small that many works are stopping

ciaI Situation.

ciaI Situation.
NEW YORK, June S-Bradstreet's
Financial Review tomorrow will say:
Dizziness and speculative hesitation has
increased to such an extent that the only
word applicable to the market this week
Is stagnant. The public is practically
out of the proceedings, and the trading
in stock on the New York board rep
resents in the main, an exchange Of con-
tracts between the smaller pro-
sional operators The London market
was slightly stimulated at the beginning
of the week by the news that the British
army had occupied Pretoria, but this in
huence did not last long or result in any
decided buying of American stocks for
foreign account. On the contrary. the
bullish news from South Africa was as
promptly nullified by the threatening as
pect or affairs in China and by the heavy
fall OF values and money market pressure
that have developed in Berlin, making
that city something Of a storm center in
the financial world.
In fact the foreign influences were
adverse, and seemed to have considera-
bic to do with the prevalent disposition
of our own market to wait the course
Of events. The fact that foreign ex-
change holds steady at its recent de-
cline is a favorable circumstance and re-
lieVes any danger Of gold Withdrawals
unless the pending complications at Ber-
lin should grow into panic-a rather un-
likely contingency.
Meantime the decreased activity or
trades In various lines and shutting down
OF manufacturing establishments in
fiuences the financial situation by caus-
Ing idle money to flow to and accumulate
