OYSTERS NOT SCARCE.
Heavy Operating Expense Causes
Decrease in Dredging.

The heavy expense of operating the
larger of the fleet of dredge boats. the
vessels that in former years made
largely responsible for the shortage in
the oyster supply, not that there is an
actual shortage of oysters on the beds.
In one of the cabins at the oyster
wharf last night number of oyster
men were gathered about warm stove
when the discussion turned on the
present shortage in the oyster supply.
no real scarcity of oysters in the Po-
tomac beds, as the few dredge boats
and tongers at work are making good
catches, but, as the oyster-takfng neet
is much smaller this year than in for
mer years. the catch is light.
1t was stated by Capt. Keith Davis
and other experienced oyster men that
the high cost of operation has prevent
ed the larger dredge boats from going
into commission this year. Until last
season, it was stated. the highest wages
paid men was about $50 month and
board. Now the same men are de-
manding $50 a month and board. and
this, with the high cost Of supplies of
all kinds, three or four times what
they were two years ago, kept the
owners of the dredge boats from
placing them in commission, as they
could not catch enough oysters TO
make the business pay.
1t was stated that the only dredge
boats in service were those that were
operated by families or with crews
working on shares of the prohts.
Though the number of tongers at work
by no means meets the heavy demand
