OYSTERS AT WHARF MARKET
Supply Large Enough for Week
Despite Drift Ice.

Between 1880 and 1900 bushels of
oysters In the shell were added to the
supply aboard vessels at the 18th street
wharf market by the arrival yesterday
morning of three craft from the beds
in the lower Potomac. Last night there
were lying at the wharf about fifteen
vessels with oysters aboard, and it is
estimated their total cargoes will amount
to between 5000 and 1000 bushels.
This supply is large enough to meet
demands for week, and unless the ice
now coming down from the upper river
hangs on longer than it is generally
thought 1t will, other vessels with the
bivalves aboard will have arrived be-
fore the stock now on hand is exhausted
Prices range from about 60 cents per
bushei up to 50 cents and higher, If the
dealer can get 1t.

Charity Periodicals.

To the Editor OF The Star:
In the proposed amendment of the
law relating to second-class mail matter,
intended to increase the rate of postage
on periodicals, the publications issued in
the interests of charity should be ex-
empted from any ruling for advanced
rates Many charitable institutions de-
rive their chief support from the proceeds
OF such publications, and an increase of
postal rates would mean quite q reduc-
tion of income during the year where
the circulation is large and the subscrip-
ton small HENRY COYLE.

Rush From Upper River.

Today sailing craft have poor show of
reaching here unless good big tugboat
has them in tow. The warm weather
and rains of the past few days caused a
general thaw. and the big volume of
water pouring into the upper river from
small tributaries has caused a strong
current down the stream, and with 1t
came the ice. The ice started running
under the bridges across the Virginia
channel about daybreak this morning
but before noon 1t had reached almost
to Fort Washngton--a solid mass of
jumbled blocks of ice, in which are
many logs and debris of various kinds
Steamboats, can make their way through
1t, but for the present navigation Is
blocked for sailing craft.
The present ice condition on the river
may last for several days especially if a
beIow-freeAng temperature comes and
kni.s together the drifting ice.
