Stews and Frys Soar as Harbor
Strike Cuts on Supply

There is temporary oyster scarcity
in this city as result Of the harbor
strike in New York and the high winds
along the southern Jersey coast which
prevented oyster men from venturing out
to the oyster beds in their frall craft.
The harbor strike has made 1t dithcult to
ship Long Island oysters.
The scarcity has az usual caused an
increase in prices in many neighbor
hoods. In some localities stews and
frys were put up another nickel. while
neighborhood oyster shops, which supply
family trade, also added five cents a
hundred on various grades of oysters.
