with its disapproval by his support OF

AN OYSTER DEMAND

The demand for oysters At present
is very heavy in the city. It is said
that local dealers are beginning to
wear that worried look for fear that
they will not be able to supply the
heavy demand. Probably more oys-
ters are consumed during the Thanks
giving season than at Christmas and
this year give promise to excel all
others in this particular. The local
express companies have been hand
ling large shipments into the city dur
ing the past few days and from now
kept busy.
