THE OYSTER SEASON

Oysters are more plentiful this year
than last and the catches are heavier,
the season has not been any more renum-
erative. There are several reasons for
this state OF affairs, chief among which is
the fact that the mussels on the oysters in
shallow water are so thick that they will
not average pecks to the bushel, after
they are scraped off. Then again the
oysters are in poor condition. 1t is claim
ed by some that the mussels feed on that
which the oyster would otherwise get,
and this seems quite plausible, in view of
the fact that the oysters are SO poor that
it takes bushel and half to shuck a
gallon, when in former seasons it has only
taken one bushel.
The season has been good one so far
as the weather is concerned, but this has
been more than offset by the low prices.
Buyers are not paving more than 4O or
so cents hushel on the rocks while at
this time last year they were paying 20
or so cents. There are numerous young
oysters on the bars, bespeaking good
season next year.
