RICHMOND MARKETS

focal dealers are preparing for the
opening of the oyster season on
Thursday, August 30. Reports from
Baltimore are that the Chesapeake
bay oyster beds were never in such
good condition at this time of the
year Dealers say that indications
are that opening trade will be the
heaviest ever known here, and they
are making preparations to handle
from one-third to one-half more oys-
tiers the coming season than they
handled last season.
Demand for fish continues so heavy
that the small supplies coming to the
local market are scarcely large en-
ough to fill all bills. Richmond people
are eating more fish than in any pre-
vious summer, and supplies are ac-
tually smaller than for some years,
at this time. The combination has
made, and continues to make very
firm market. Dealers have been noti-
fed that, by the beginning of next
week certain kinds of fish Will be
even scarcer and general advance
of &c to 1c pound will be made
at that time.
