OYSTER VESSELS ARRIVE.
Good Demand for the Bivalves.
Fish Stock Light.

The southerly winds Sunday and yes
terday morning brought into port twelve
vessels with oysters aboard, and this
morning the fleet at the 18th street wharf
market numbered about twenty vessels.
While the fleet is large in the number
of vessels composing it, the supply OF
oysters they have aboard Is less than
1000 bushels. Oysters are selling at
prices ranging from 45 cents per bushel
up to 81 for the choice stock. The up
town dealers are laying in large supplies
in anticipation of the coming OF cold
weather, which always makes the de-
mand for oysters very brisk.
At the fish market, 18th street wharf.
the receipts continue light, and consid-
cradle frozen stock is being used to meet
the shortage in the supply. There has
been no improvement in the catch In the
nets along the river, and many OF the
fishermen are taking up their nets ana
securing work ashore for the winter.
The catch of fish along the potomac
this fall and winter is said to be the
lightest ever known in the history OF the
Potomac fisheries.
