OYSTERS PLENTIFUL.
Ample Supply at Wharf for Those
Preferring Bivalves on Ha Shell.

Late yesterday evening il looked as IL
oyster lovers who will go to the 18th
street wharf market today for a supply
on the half shell would be disappointed.
All day yesterday there We're but two
arrivals of oyster-laden craft, both power
boats that brought small cargoes one
came from the beds i'm the lower river
and the oysters she brought sold al 90
cents per bushe The other came from
Pocomoke sound, on the eastern shore Of
Chesapeake bay. She had fine oysters
aboard and they found ready sale TO the
dealers uptown at 81 cents per bushel.
The Potomac river boat sold out and left
early in the day and the eastern shore
boat had but a few bushels aboard late
yesterday evening.
After dark. however. the situation was
saved by the arrival of the schooner Sill
yer Wave with several hundred bushels
of the bivalves. and il then became
known that several other vessels We're
on their way and would arrive here this
morning in time to meet all demands
Those who go to the wharf today may
expect to pay more for their oysters than
they did last Sunday.
