OYSTERS BECOME SCARCE.
Not Over 800 Bushels at the 11thi
Street Wharf.

The supply of Potomac river oysters is
becoming very small at the oyster wharf.
and within the next day or two 1t will be
completely exhausted. The schooner Mag
gle Elizabeth was the only boat at the
wharf with oysters aboard this morning.
and she had not over $50 bushels in her
hold. Including that held by the dealers at
the wharf the entire stock is not over 800
bushels. With the ice SO heavy In the river
that 1t would be dangerous to tow through
1t, the prospect for oyster-laden vessels to
reach the wharf in the next week fs very
small. There are down the river about 5000
bushels in fleet of twenty-five or thirty
boats, awaiting an opportunity to get here.
This does not mean that oyster lovers
here will be entirely deprived OF the deli
cacy for the dealers are yet able to obtain
Lynn Haven Bays and other varieties from
Norfolk by the Norfolk. and Washington
line steamers, and they can also be OBJ
tained by rail from Baltimore and else

NEW REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.
President Heiskell Outlines the Ex-
pectations Of It's Founders.

Mr.. Jesse l.. Heiskell. the president OF
the Washington real estate exchange In
speaking to a Star reporter in regard to
that organization said:
'The exchange is fast being gotten into
shape for practical business There has
been some delay and a great deal OF labor
necessary to organize the machinery of
the exchange for practical use. We will
use the card system for indexing and list
ing property offered for sale through the
medium of the exchange. Our bulletin
boards are now being prepared. upon which
will be posted for twenty-fo or forty
eight hours the new properties that come
in daily. We will also have a bulletin
board for the posting Of wants of MEM
bers, and an auction board which all
auction sales pending and to take place will
be bulletned
AT meeting of the board of governors
last Friday evening We instructed the sec
retary to notify all auctioneers and real
estate men that the rooms of the exchange
could be had for auction sales without
charge until further notice. l see very
great possibilities that can be accomplished
by the exchange if the brokers generally
will consider the advantages 1t offers and
the material good that must result to all.
"The association and better acquaintance
among men engaged in the same business
is always Of great value. The listing of
property at the rooms of the exchange,
thereby making 1t accessible to all the
brokers is bound to promote the sale of
real estate and to stimulate prices. The
posting of wants by various brokers look
ing for investment which they may not
have, the Offering of special funds for
loan. the posting of special wants in the
way of loans. must all result in common
good. AS l have stated before. if the real
estate men will give serious thought and
hearty support to this organization 1t will
ultimately become Indispensable to us all
The exchange is organized upon broad
and liberal grounds. and no member has
any rights or benefits not enjoyed by all.
and il they will as individuals bring in
any suggestions and advice from time to
time they will find that the board of gov
ernors will use their best efforts to put
such suggestions into practical operation,
and when the organization Is, as It soon
will be, upon a satisfactory working basis
then We can take up and regulate from
time to time various customs and formulate
rules and regulations which we feel will
be acceptable to every member and will
operate for his individual benefit We must
perfect the organization, and 1t then fol-
lows as a matter of course that the rules
and regulations for the advancement or
the common interest of its members will
be inaugurated, but we want the member
ship complete and to have the best thought
and advice Of all it's members.

trary rules until the membership Is COM
plete and then each member will have
voice in making the organization what 1t
