DOVER. Del, Sept. delaware
oysters are fine. The Delaware Bay
oyster season opened this morning
long before daylight, when twenty
schooners and two steam vessels put
out from Port Mahon. and at least
that many set sail from Bowers.
II believe the market viii go up and
keep UP; for I've seldom seen oysters
in Delaware waters in such prime con-
dition." said Captain John +. Buckson
late last night, after a hard days work
inspecting his oyster grounds.
The oystermen and oyster fleets be-
gan 70 work for Philadelphia markets
and for the still larger market at
Maurice River Cove. Many of the
Delaware boats win 80 to the latter
place and lay out their cargoes for
purchase and shipment.
The number of boats and men is
more than usual. The oystermen are
catching these oysters or their own
plantations-the oyster grounds where
they are continually improving for
oyster culture.
There was much more encourage
ment to-day at the thought that the
market would keep up.
An inspection party which went over
the beds most recently consisted oi
