Oyster Boats Waiting for Thaw.

The ice-covered river has prevented
oyster-laden craft from reaching this
city. and this morning there was not an
oyster on sale aboard the twenty vessels
lying at the oyster wharf. They are al
light and will take advantage of the first
thaw that comes of going down the
river. AS soon as there is any probability
of the boats being able to tow through
the ice without injury 20 their hulls a
tow will star. from this city for Blak-
istone Island.
That there are no oysters aboard yes
sells at the wharf market does not mean
that oysters are not on sale at the
wharf The dealers there are obtaining
barrel stock by steamer and rail from
points on Chesapeake bay. and those
who wish oysters will find they can have
their wants supplied without difficulty.
