At the Oyster Wharf.

Four or more vessels with oysters in
the shell aboard have arrived at the
11th street wharf oyster market since
last Sunday morning. bringing more
than a thousand bushels. The supply
aboard the fifteen or twenty vessels at
the wharf is ample to meet all de-
mands. but the market is by no means
glutted. The demand Is fair. and the
bivalves this morning were selling at
from SOC per bushel up to 81 and $l25
for selected stock. In consequence Of
the heavy current in the river It is not
thought probable that. other vessels
laden with oysters will be able to come
up the river for a day or two. This
will not. however. have any effect >on
the market. as the supply aboard the
vessels Is large enough to meet the de-
mand for a week.
The receipts of fresh fish from points
along. the river continue very light.
while the demand is good. A few yell
low perch. catfish and carp are being
received. and they bring good prices.
The demand for fish is being met with
varieties from the coast fisheries and
with coldstorage stock.
