that our location is such that we are
more accessible by rail and steamer to
the points interested than any other

be given to as many as possible to at
tend by selecting some central point
such as we believe Snow Hill TO be.

OYS|ERMEN COMPLAIN
ABOUT BAD SEASON
Very Few Oysters Shipped
To Market And Quality
Not The Best.

Oystermen all along Synepuxent bay
are complaining that this has been the
worst season they have had for years.
Owing to the bitter cold winter and con
tinual ice in the bay they have not been
able to get at their oysters. and even
when they did take up shipment the
stock was poor. The prices for oysters
in the northern cities was good and our
planters missed successful season sim
liar To that of last. when they made
money as never before. Some are wear
ing long faces now because of the dis
covery that the plants they bought last
fall and put in the bay have been killed
by being frozen over all winter. They
are just finding this out. and every day
reveals another planter who has discov-
ered.his money and labor of last sum
mer and fall To have been virtually
thrown away.
The shipments from Stockton, Girdlc-
tree. Box Iron, and Franklin City by
rail for the season now nearly over, is
not more than one-third as many bar
rels as were shipped last oyster season.
Tuesday marked the close of the
oyster dredging season in the CEesa-
peake bay and its tributaries II also
marks the close of perhaps the most
disastrous season, from the dredger's :
standpoint, for many years past. With
the bay covered with ice, the dredgers
were not only forced to remain idle, but
in many instances We're icebound i'll the
bay and had to undergo untold suffer
ing. In the language of one of the
dredgers in Baltimore Monday: we
have not only failed TO make penny
this winter. but we have been forced to
draw out of our hard earned savings,
and. on top of it all. we have injured
our boats i'm the ice"
Some weeks ago an effort was made
to have the season for the dredgcrs cx-
tended from Tuesday until the last of
the month, but the State Legislature
would not consider such a bill.
Ii is estimated that the oystcrmen
have lost just about three months during
the winter. The few oysters they did
succeed in getting to harbor cost them

tug fees. The supply of the bivalves is
practically equal to the demand at pres
cnt, and the price is ranging from 81
cents to 81 20 per bushel.
