GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

\ fleet of ten vessels. laden with oysters
in tho shell from the beds in the lower
Potomac and from Chesapeake bay, ar
rived in port here yesterday and last
night with fun cargoes of fin" oysters TO
meet the heavy demand looked for in the
coming week.
Today and tomorrow more vessels VIII
arrive II is estimated that by Monday
night twenty-five or thirty vessels with
bivalves in their holds will be lying at
the 18th street oyster wharf waiting to
sell their carSocs to the Christmas trade.
For several years practically all the
oysters on sd at the wharf market dur
ing the Christmas week were from the
beds in the river. If Tansicr or POGO
make oysters were wanted a fancy price
had to be paid for them up town. Today
there are lying at the wharf mere nan
dozen vessels with bay oysters aboard
and the best are selling at 81 per buShei.
The heavy Christmas demand will cause
a slight advance over this price. it Is
thought. The stock of Potomac oysters
on sale at the wharf market is as fine as
could be desired. The oysters are plump
and of excellent flavor. and they can be
bought as low as ~ cents per bushel. and
each buShel will come close to shuchlng a
gallon of fine oysters.
