OYSTER MARKET
BECOMES CLUTTED,
Several Boats Here That Cam
not Market Their Cargoes
Although h Prices Are Low

There seems to be a glut in the
local oyster market. The oyster men
coming into the city cannot find
market for their supply AMI they ara
worried. At present seven boats are
at Church street wharf loaded with
oysters which they have been unable
to put on the mlrket These b ats
have been here for two days an d if
the men do not soon find q sale for
their cargos they will be at a loss
how TO dispose Of them. Primes are
selling for 70 cents bushel and
seconds bring from 80 cents to 40
a hushel. Even these low prices do
not bring custom. Since the first of
the season the oysterinen have b cen
putting large quantities on the mar
ket and it is now overlooking If the
weather were cooler perhaps tho
demand would be greater.
