Oyster Dealers
Unable to Tell
Shortage Cause
Also Unable to Explain Cost
Say Tins of Inferior
Quality.

IS the big oyster combine Of the
Atlantic coast organized to keep the
price OF oysters high, or Is II a sea-
sonal fluctuatiOn that compels the
householder TO pay high prices for
cysters? That is the question South
Eeud oyster dealers have been con-
Iuring up in their minds. and while
no answer is forthcoming from a
definite source. IL is whispered the
present scarcity OF oysters is due to
the big combines holding back on
shipments and by creating an arti-
fetal shortage, making 1t possible to
maintain a high selling price.
Standard Baltimore oysters are
sold TO local dealers at $3.50. with
q cents for express. The select
oysters cost S2.75, and New York
Counts $3.25. Bluepoints are ship
ped only in the she'll.
Some South Bend oyster dealers
have been unable to obtain ship
ments from Baltimore and Atlantic
coast points for two weeks and have
placed orders for the week with
Chicago firms, despite the fact the
quality is not as good as that OF the
Baltimore product.
Inferior Quality.
Large shipments of canned oys-
tiers have been made 10 South Bend
by wholesalers. in lieu OF the real
article. In making these shipments
wholesalers have rid themselves OF
their old culls at the expense Of the
retailer and considerable dissatis-
faction has been expressed.
south Bend dealers declared We'd
nesday that the canned oysters that
come IN pint and ha.f pint recep-
tacles have been found 10 be OF an
inferior quality. with a peculiar
taste and containing shells, wood
and various other foreign sub
stances. one local merchant, in
opening a case OF canned oysters,
discovered many cans in decom-
posed condition. the result OF poor
soldering OF cans.
Letters and wires from Baltimore
wholesalers telling they are unable

shortage very carefully omit 20
