Secretary Wilson.
Under n decision last year oysters were

will properly mature" 1t is now held that

"rhe practice Of floating oysters ana

their aduteration by 'he addition Of water
II IS found also that floating gives TO the
oysters and other shellfsh a fictitious ap-
pearance. resulting in the deception of the
consumer. Moreover the water in which
they are noated being of lower salt con-
tent than the water in which they were
grown, is usually i'm the mouth Of streams
