SCARCITY OF OYSTERS.
Bringing So to 60 Cents Bushel in
Large Quantities.

Although two small oyster-carrying
boats arrived at the wharf market yes
terday. they relieved the shortage but
temporarily, and unless other vessels get
in today there will be no oysters at the
wharf to meet the demands of the throng
that visits there each Sunday for feast
on freshly shucked oysters on the half
shell. Yesterday afternoon oysters were
selling at from 30 to 60 cents per bushel
in large lots, and to the small buyer the
price was from 10 to 10 cents per bushel
higher.
A fleet of eight or ten vessels is at
doWn-river points waiting an opportunity
to come to this city, but with the heavy
current in the river making it almost i'm
possible for anything but steamboats, or
tugs to make any Roadway against the
downfiow, the question as to when the
oyster craft will begin to arrive is one
that is very hard to answer and de-
ponds largely upon conditions on the
river. The current will run itself off
within the next day or two and the
oyster boats will certainly come in then.
