OYSTER FAMINE SEEN AS
POSSIBILITY OF FUTURE

oysters are higher now than they were
at any time last year and dealers pre-
dicted yesterday that the present scarcity
of the bivalve will be still more acutely
felt IL bad weather should set in at this
time.
Shell oysters can no longer be bought
by the bushel and the cost per barrel has
reached the 81 mark, while last year they
could be had for as cheap as S3.25. Shuck-
ed oysters show a like increase to the
dealers, costing them from sl.SO to sl5o
a gallon.

to sell to consumers at the same rates
which prevailed last year. This is said

ditions continue 1t is predicted that
oysters will Join the ranks OF high-priced
foods
