LUSCIOUS BIVALVES
SERVED ONCE AGAIN

but the bivalve usually recuperates
easily. and with proper care the beds
will produce well. The prices of the
bivalve have not varied greatly in years.
The enemies of the oyster are numer-
Gus. The startsh, the mussel. the drum
fish, the periwinkle. and the drill con-
stantly menace the beds, and great care
and considerable expense is taken to get
rid of these destructive species. Also.
as much care is taken in wedding the
plot as is taken in keeping weeds out of
the land garden.
The peoples of foreign countries have
found the American oysters larger and
more luscious than those raised in Eu-
ropean waters, and also devoid of that
coppery taste SO characteristic of the BIZ
valve grown there. The result is good
sized market in Europe for the Ameri-
can oyster. Shipments abroad will be-
gin about the middle of November
Arrival of First Boatload.
The first boatload of oysters arrived
in the city early Sunday morning in
the oyster boat Mary and Rebecca, of
Alexandria. The cargo consisted of
about 160 bushels, which sold at 60 cents
a bushel. which is considered fair
price. They were not of the large size,
having been taken from close to the
shore. Two boatloads are expected to-
day. and after that they will come in by
the dozens. Those landed yesterday and
tons Island. situated in the lower part
of the river
Speaking of the prospects of the oys-
ter season. the supply and demand for
the bivalve. and all other features con-
nected with the article, dealer said
yesterday: There will be only lin
tied supply of the market so long as
we have to depend on 'tongers.' On the
18th of next month the dredgers will be-
gin their work, and then we will have
plenty of oysters and much better ar
ticle. But prospects this year are nor
NAL and prices are normal. There is no
special demand for any particular brand
OF course, caterers and epicures always
prefer fancy brands. The Virginia oys-
ter is the better favored but the New
York brand is better looking than the
Southern product.
People Who Wait for Frost.
There are many people who do not
eat oysters until the first frost has sci
in. which. in my opinion, is very good
reasoning. Now. the oysters feed on all
sorts of vegetables and fish, either dead
or alive; there is plenty of everything.
and the oyster is not very particular
just now what it feeds on But when
the cold weather sets in. the oyster will
have to hunt for food; dead fish or

With Lovers of the
Delicious Oyster.
SEASON LOOKS PROMISING
Wholesale Dealers Expect the Quality
to Be Particularly Fine-Excessive
Rains Improve the Flavor and Allow
Oyster to Fatten.

Yesterday was the opening of the
oyster season, and there was unusual
activity in the various depots in this
city in consequence thereof. Notwith,
standing the warm weather. there was
considerable business done at the oyster
stands. and everybody willingly extend

The oyster is distinctive American
delicacy 1t might almost be called the
national bivalve. The American pro-
duct bears the palm over all others and
is exported to all countries on the globe
1t is as typically American as pork and
beans is typically Bostonese. Nearly
everybody in this country eats oysters.
In foreign countries 1t is the rare privi-
lege of those only who are better situat-
ed in worldly goods.

champagne and it goes we'll with beer

classes and being great favorite with

Promise of Fine Season.
The season is very promising, accord
ing to the wholesale dealers. Samples
from the various bays from which the
early crop will be gathered and reports
of the cultfvators indicate that the
crop will be of good quality and the
quantity will be substantially the same
as in other years. There is never any
appreciate change in the general con-
ditions of the oyster industry, dealers
say. There may be year when the
physical condition of the oyster is some-
what less satisfactory than normally.
