Bridgeport, Aug. 26-Oystermen, and
especially the Natural Growthers"
who depend for their fall and spring
season upon the set accumulated on
the great natural beds along the Sound
from Greenwich to New Haven. have
been watching the storm Of today with
more than passing attention, as the
critical time of year has been reached
and a heavy storm from the southeast
or long continued northeasterly
storm win mean the practical ruin ~
their crop Of set for this season
when the wind yesterday afternoon
suddenly stopped blowing from the
south and began to come in gusty
squalls from the southeastward, the
oystermen began to look anxiously to-
ward the Sound. to note the condition
OF the water When the wind settled
down into a steady, stiff breeze from
the southeast, kicking up mean
choppy sea, they began to feel worried
about tho condition of the big natural
bed off this city and stratford, for the
water over the bed Is shallow for the
most part, and any very great surface
disturbance. with the swift currents
which sweep over the bed. would tear
up the sand and bury the set in It.
But fortunately when the blow be-
gan the tide was high, and Just after
the food the wind changed 10 the
northward, blowing from the north
east, so that instead of having the
long sweep across the Sound II had
from the other direction. II practically
blew off shore. and big waves were
formed and sent toward the Long ISL
and shore instead Of being piled up
I along the Connecticut coast. But with
/ the shift of the wind to the northeast
came a marked drop in temperature,
which Is also a cause for worry by the
! oystermen.
The set is remarkably big for this
! time of year. thanks to the unusually
warm condition OF the water but any
] sudden chilling of the water would re-
suit In permanent injury TO the set.

Wheat ProsDects.

Prospects for wheat are not as flat
tering as they might be in this sec
ton of the county, though if the prices
remain good, the farmers expect an
average year. 1t is likely that 35
bushels to the acre is all that will be
received in most places on account of
the unfavorable season. Land that
had been yielding about so bushels in
the best years will go about 40 this
year "a according to the present out
look,
