1t Is ample to meet the demand a day
or two ago there were one or two oyster
laden vessels at the wharf market, and the
bivalues were selling at from 90c. to 81 20
per busnel. Today good oysters can be
bought for 60c. per bushel and even lower
This will be the last heavy run of the sea-
son on the oyster market as most OF the
vessels now here with oysters aboard will
engage In the running of fish and ether
cargoes from the lower river to this city
The demand for the oysters by the uptown
dealers is fair.
Reports coming from the natural oyster
grounds on the lower Potomac state that
the oyster police Of Maryland and Virginia
relaxed their vigilance in a measure during
the past few days, and the oystermen took
advantage of this fact to resume dredging
in violation of the law, which prohibits the
taking OF oysters with dredges from the
18th day OF last month. 1t is stated that
the oyster police officials have been notified
of the violations Of the law, and the police
boats have returned to duty on the river.
