OYSTERS ON THE WANE.
But Few Cargoes Expected by the
Local Dealers.

From now on the arrivals Of vessels at
the wharf market with oysters aboard
even hundred bushels or less. will be
few and far between, although the deal
ers say that some oysters may yet be
brought here. In previous years when
oysters were brought to this market aft
er the first week in May the weather
was cool The hot summerlike weather
we have been having will make the de-
mand for oysters very light, SO that to
sell cargo would be difficult
Those who want oysters will be able to
find them in the fish houses at the wharf,
which obtain supplies from Norfolk. An
napolis or other points on the bay which
keep them on sale all the year around
CLAIMS are taking the place of oysters.
and along Chesapeake bay and the lower
end Of the Potomac clam diggers are taxi
ing the shellflsh from their beds in the
sand to ship them to the market here
CLAIMS are selling at the wharf market
from % cents to 81 per hundred In large
lots. and, according to reports. the de-
mand for them is fair. Hard crabs are
plentiful, but soft crabs are scarce and
are selling at high figures.

ceived his share of the dividends before
the refusal of the Georgetown company
to pay dividends to the Washington COM

pany and the ST. e as to the legality of
the holding Admission is made that no
