SCARE WORKS HAVOC
WITH OYSTER TRADE

LONDON, Jan. mo matter how
London may work TO throw of the ex-
element of its Christmastide some
thing extraordinary always crops up
to keep people awake. This year the
excitement is over oysters. The IA
tai mayoral banquet at Winchester
has caused no end of sensation. The
postmortems which declared the
| deaths of many prominent victims to
be due to typhoid from swallowing
| diseased oysters, followed by the
death of the Dean of Winchester, also
| from having eaten oysters. have had
glish oyster trade.
Mr.. Gam, one of the largest whole
sale oyster merchants in England, in
an interview said the sale of oysters
had fallen during the week by about
rs per cent. MY own books" he
said. SHOW that have taken in about
CT, 900 less during the last three
days than | should have had this ty-
phoid scare not occurred. | estimate
that during the present oyster season
this outbreak will cost the season
hpout sovVsVVu "OItH Ol DuSlDtSS.
A worse feature, however, than the
loss to the large merchants will be
the falling Off in the employment of
those who get their daily bread in
the oyster producing districts. For
Instance. along the Kent and Essex
shores there must be 500 or 600 men
employed on the oyster beds. The
scare means shortage to 500 or 900
familes--several thousand persons
The extent of Emsworths loss is best
set forth in the following statement
by Mr.. Foster, one OF the largest mer-
chants In London.
In the week before Christmas we
reckon to sell 100000 oysters. but
what has happened is that in the week
before the scare we sold from 35 900
to 10000. on Monday. the day pre-
vious to the first publication OF the
typhoid outbreak. We sold 5000; on
Tuesday the number was 5000 Since
then we have not disposed of 1000 a
day On Saturday we did not get rid
of a Single oyster. On Monday 10000
arrived by smack. They are useless
This week 10000 more are due; they
will be useless. have at present in
the beds about soc. 900 oysters valued
at between $1,000 and $4,000. but |
they cannot be sold.
Again. | have oysters laid in 9th |
sx parts to which no suspicion attach |
es. but the present scare will render |
their disposal exceedingly difficult"
