In conversation with a ~ ntlsman " h.

ascrioeo was that no quotations had
been asked from Virginia, IN view OF the
promised scarcity. and II was presumed
our people would ask the usual price

compete at this price with the North
nencs there was little market. - This
present oyster season has taught our
people good. but severe lesson. With
twice the oysters on hand there were
last year, and the tOpgers catching more
than formerly, Is was not until recently
slnee Christmas, that they hit the neces-
sity oil s'lliog at any pr.cC-;he ruling

beginning to move at % TO 40 cents. the
same stock that last year brought al
most double those figures Virginia oys-
ter people have got to face the music -
they must come down In prices 10 com

marketable oy sters than any State on the
Atlantic and we can. il we will, sell as
cheaply. Mature has favored Us the past
twelve months and the oyster officials
