NEW YORK HOTELS
CROWDED AND BUSY
Repeal Fills Restaurants and
Taprooms as Travel
Shows Increase.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 27.-New
York hotels are crowded and busy. and
the men who run them are wearing
broader and brighter smiles.
Repeal has filled the dining rooms
and tap rooms with joyful dtners-out
who no longer count every nlckel tney
spend, hotel men assert. But pesloeS
this, they say improved business condi-
tions generally have been reflected IN
the hotel business.
More people are travelling than year
ago. hence more hotel rooms are rented.
More employees have been added. Ban
Duets are becoming more frequent, ana
the after dinner speaker has replaced
the prophet of gloom.
David B. Mulligan, president OF the
Bowman -Biltmore Hotel Corporation,
which operates the Biltmore and the
Commodore. said the hotels were en-
loving their first heavy business In
several years.
The natural increase in business due
TO repeal has been shown IN the
restaurant and beverage departments
and IS splendid one" he asserted
PAY rolls in these departments have
have been added.
Senses Appreciation.
when YOU consider that the hotels
suffered greatly from prohibition and
we're rigid in enforcing it, l feel that
this business is not only their due, but
Is evidence that the general public ap-
preciates the hotels position"
Albert Keller. president and general
manager of the RitZ-Carlton, finds not
only more patrons, but happier patrons
in the dining rooms. They all seem
more ready to spend money" he said,
"and they appear to be happy. They
used to be gloomy when they came In
pick-up in business, even though our
main bar will not be finished fer
month"
taurant business of the Waldort-As-
toria was always good, says Oscar, who
has made a name for himself as
maitre d'hotel, but since repeal 1t has
been better Patrons are orderly about
drinking and "happy-go-luck about
spending. a beautiful combination.
Travellers More Numerous
Travellers, too, have increased in
number at the Waldorf.
Improved business conditions were
credited even more than repeal for the
pickup in business at the New Yorker
bv c. K. Swafford, vice president.
Our business had tremendous IN
crease in November and December. and
only a small part Of it was due to re-
peal" he said. 1T amounts to $4,000
a day more than last year. and only
50 O00 of this Is because OF repeal. The
rest of the Improvement is Just due to
better conditions and started last
August.
I'VE have 900 more guests this
Christmas than last year."
Hotel men agree that the hotels
which had established regulations be-
fore prohibition for good wtning and
dining are being favored particularly
by old customers. some Of whom have
stayed out Of hotel dining rooms for
years.

Figures, too, speak f1uently on this subject.
n. L. Fairbanks. as director, and w. S. Hamill.
assistant director, recently completed an
Exhaustive survey of Maryland's fisheries for
lhe Maryland Development Bureau Of the Balti-
bore Association of Commerce. In 1929 they
'ound that Maryland and Virginia produced
] total of 1880 ,o5s bushels of oysters or these
| nd 1885, $40 bushels were put in Virginia's
|ohmn Going further into the subject, Mr..
Fairbanks and Mr.. Hamin found that sos
)er cent of Marylands production came from
Ter rublic beds and that the remaining 9.5
per cent or 241. .141 bushels, were produced on
he States private beds. Virginia, on the other
hand, they found. got 65 per cent of her total,
pr l556 421 bushels. from private beds and only
per cent from the public beds.
Now, because Maryland and Virginia reserve

working, these figures mean more than they

4eted to show that the Maryland Virginia
yster crop fell from nearly 900 bushels
n 1880 to slightly more than $500, 900 bushels
.n 1881 1t should be pointed out here that
.he 1880 total represented natural crop only.
while the production attributed to the more
3ecent years included the planters produc-
lion as we'll as natures own. In other words,
the total production dropped from 17,437,3 800
bushels in 1880 to 4,930,059 bushels in 1929
the most recent year for which public and
private bed figures are available), the statistics
eally mean that the decline in the natural
3wster production was from 17437,3 800 bushels
0 1882 497 bushels. They mean that in Mary
land the natural oyster crop dropped from
