NINE DAYS And
THEN THE OYSTER

In nine more days-or on Monday,
September 2-the oyster season for
New Jersey will open. The oyster
season officially opens On September
1. but as this date falls on Sunday this
year there will be no business con-
Quoted.
While it is expected that the supply
will be shorter. the quality is expect
ed to be better than last year. This
belief is based on the favorable sum-
NOR weather The weather has not
been exceptionally hot. there has been
no drouth nor an over-abundance of
rain. The Virginia oysters which
have been handled here during the
summer. have shown better quality
than usual. and it is believed that the
New Jersey bivalve viii be equally
improved. In New York there has
been a drouth. and it is believed by
New York oystermen that the Blue
Point oysters win lack favor and size
this season.
