oyster stews and fries bid fair 40
rise in price in September. Dealers
in this city are much excited over the
decision or the authorities at Washing
ton that oysters packed IN ice are
adulterated. Tho oyster Is said TO be
ono of the most thirsty animals in
existence. When packed in ice IL inn
bibes every drop Of ice water it can
get. As a result II swells often Ia
two or three times its real size. This.
say the Federal authorities. is adultar-
alton. Tho rule now is that oysters
must be shipped in refrigerator cars,
which win not allow them 10 come into
contact with the ice. This involves
greater expense in shipping.
