OYSTERS PLENTIFUL.
Prospect for Ample Stock to Supply
Thanksgiving Trade.

A fleet OF about fifteen oyster-carrying
boats are lying at the 18th street wharf
market, with plentiful supply of oysters
IN the shell aboard from the beds in the
lower Potomac. as well from those of
the Chesapeake. The supply aboard the
vessels is of excellent quality. and the
stock is selling at prices ranging from 40
cents to 20 and SO cents per bushel, but
the demand for several days past has
been light. Yesterday and today trade
was somewhat better than earlier in the
week. With the approach of the Thanks
giving holiday the market is expected to
awaken, and those who cannot afford to
pay the price that will be asked for tur-
keys can get a supply of oysters at a
figure that will not strain even a moder-
ately well filled pocket book.
The feet OF oyster boats leaving here
this wek will hasten to the dredging
grounds down river to get cargoes aboard
In order to return to this city in time to
be on hand for the Thanksgiving market
There is no probability of scarcity OF
oysters In the coming week. unless the
buying is much heavier than any one an
ticipates.
