MISSISSIPPI NEWS
Oyster Industry Damaged.

Reports along the Mississippi coast
state that the oyster industry has sus-
tanned serious injury on account of the
recent equinoctial storm, and as re-
suit the oyster canning establishments
are being compelled to pay higher
prices for bivalves. In some localities
the oyster reefs have been covered 10y
mud and sand rendering the use OF tongs
difficult and, in some instances impos-
sible. In localities where damage OF
this character is reported the inevita-
BILE result will be that the oysters,
young and old, will be smothered to
death. The damage to the reefs, how
ever, is by no means general, for the
storm was not so severe along the Mis-
sissippi coast as in the vicinity of Mo-
