THE LONG I8LANU OYSTER BUSINESS.
'.'S
An Industry tbat Yields a Good Revenue
but Ocmandi Hard Work.
[From tho New York Sod.]
The oyster market at the foot of West
10th street is one of the sights of the city.
From a distance it looks like a very compact
row of two-story wooden buildings,
modelled like cross-road groceries.
? Ifrom across the street the buildings arc
seen to float on big square boxes tnnt
rise and fall with tne tide, so that while j
the main lloors of the buildings are oc- |
casionally on a level with the street they
are usually some distance below it. The
houses are moored a few feet away from
the bulkhead, and arc reached by wooden
bridges with cross pieces nailed on
them so that people will not slip when
passing up and down.
The houses contain two rooms and a
basement. The first floor is the salesroom,
the second room is the place
where no end of tongs and dredges and
dunnage for the oyter boats arc stowed,
and down in the basement, or what a
sailor would call "'tween decks," is the
Ktnrnrnnm for fhr? ovfitp.rs ivhiln fiwniHno
a customer. Each building is the headquarters
of a wholesale dealer. Behind
these buildings lies the oyster fleet.
The oysters sold in the murk et usually
come from the shores of New York Bay,
or from the coasts of Long Island and
Connecticut. They are brought here
Irom the beds in little sloops that will
hold from 400 to GOO bushels each, but
there are a good many schooners in the
trade, and many Bteam tugs. The oysters
from Virginia waters which find their
way to this market arc brought in smart
schooners and by rail from Baltimore.
These vessels are packed so closely in
the slip that a Stranger would find it
difficult to get enough dear water to
flnof o vnitrl in o clnnrl r* mnefc
stand up like poles in a hop yaid, only
much closer together. And yet it is no
uncommon thing to see. a fleet of a dozen
sloops arrive, and without creating any
disturbance worm their way through the
compact mass in waiting.
A well-dressed'business man stood on
a big timber stretching along the bulkhead
before the oyster market yesterday
and contentedly watched the driver of a
cart dump a load of empty oyster shells
on the bulkhead, while two other men
in blue flannel shirts carried baskets of
oysters from one of the buildings to a
two-horse wagon, to be carted to some
customer about town.
\ In answer to a question the business
man said:
"Those oysters in the wagon are from
Freeport, Long Island."
fe. "Natural beds there?"
"Not that I ever heard of. They are
obtained from beds that are cultivated
about as carefully as market gardens.
Jones' Inlet sets up in behind a long
range of land dunes off Freeport, and
from the dunes to the main land there
is a stretch of salt meadows that are cut
up in all directions by natural ditches.
Where the bottom is good the inhabitants
of the village stake olf patches of three
acres each, and sow their seed oysters.
About everybody in Freeport is engaged
in the oyster business, but ther-is ulentv
of land thereabouts for others to rent for
that purpose."
4'Rent?"
"Bless you, yes. TTiey pay bigger rent
for land under water than for choice
furming lands in some places. The price
is $5 an acre.
'Where does the seed come from?"
"A good deal of it from New Haven.
The Newport people buy of the oyster
farmers who own the beds near New
Haven, which are sowed every year
with oyster shells like those just dumped
out of the cart. The spat from the
,<<| oysters in the proper season falls on the
shells, and after a time the little oyster
shells are developed. Thus it sometimes
happens that two or more oysters
are brought up adhering to each other.
The New Haven people charge 50 cents
a bushel for the rakings from the bed,
old shells and new,Jjust as they come up
with the dredge. The freight to Freeport
is about 10 cents a bushel more.
Some of the oystermen get their seed
up the Hudson. Little sloops nan be
seen at anchor gathering them during
the season all the way from Spuyten
Duyvil to Tarrytown. They have the
flavor of sludge acid when taken up, but
they lose that after a year on Freeport
beds. The New Haven oysters are
usually transplanted in the spring v hen
two or three seasons old. The oystermen
usually expect to take up from 500
to 600 bushels of oysters from an acre,
aitnougn the average is rather less. As
oysters sell from $1.25 to $2 a bushel
the skilful oysterman is pretty sure to
, make $1,000 a year or more oil of his
three acre farm under water. He has
to hire a man to help him get up his
crop when the season comes on, aud he
has some expenses for his boat and tools.
. , Then he has to pay for watchmen who
j, I guard the bods from pirates day and
'/ night. The work is very hard, for the
t oysters arc not marketed till cold wea\
ther comes on, and if there is any place
I - where the wind is piercing it is out on
I those meadows. James Bennett and
! Thomas Bcecham of Mount Binai nar|
rowly escaped being frozen to death
I while fishing in the Sound last winter.
They got caught in the ice and had to
I pass the night there."
k "Are the oysters taken up by men on
I the decks of the sloops?"
I 4'No; the oysters are taken up in duckI
breasted yawls, carrying from tea to
I twelve bushels. The yawl's cargo is
? /? dumped into the little fresh water
S.stream called Mill Creek, and allowed
W to remain over night. They would be
I too salt if taken from the beds to market,
I but for use raw 1 much prefer the oyster
ft from the bed to the one that has been
W\' freshened.
^"The oyster planting industry is
giuwiug jujuuijr, wuiib iui; pruuucuveness
of the natural beds that supply
part of New York's trade is decreasing.
Tho oystermen do not live in peace with
each other. There are plenty of pirates
cruising around ready to dredge up the
oysters from private beds. Last winter
the oystermen at Glen Cove fired on the
"V'A pirates with rifles several times, but no
one was hurt. The trustees of the town
of Huntington leased sections of the
natural beds in the waters of the town,
and those who had taken leases objected.

The matter got into the courts, and 1
Justice Bartlett settled it by sustaining
the course of the trustees. The planters
spend $800,000 a year in seeding the
bay, and gather a crop worth $700,000.
During the past year Great Paconic Bay
lias been seeded, and the Suffolk Board
of Supervisors have passed an act making
it a midemeanor for any person to
throw overboard a starfish or periwinkle
.in Gardner's or Peconic Bay, or their
tributaries, under a penalty of $2t?or
each offence. Those and the mud coial
insect are the worst enemies of the Long
Island Sound oystermen. In New York
Buy the trouble is with the men who are
dredging out harbors. Hundreds of
acres off beds along the Jersey shore
liavo been smothered under tho mud.
irom the dump scows. Some indignant
oytermen followed a tow, in a'schoor.er,
not long ago. The captain of the tug
threatened to run them down if they
did not sheer off, but when he failed to
scare them, he offered to dump on beds
located in another direction if they
would let him off. Maryland has an
armed oyster fleet to protect her oyster
beds. Jersey ought to have one swift
steamer armed with a howitzer and commanded
by a man who is not afraid to
shoot."
"The export trade in oysters," said
another dealer, "is about fifteen years
old. A Fulton Market man began the
trade. It has had its ups and downs
like other export trades. Blue Points
hold the first place in the English market.
They are packed in barrels hold
ing about 1,200 each, with the deep
shell down to hold the juice. It costs
about $1.25 for freight and packing, and
the barrel sells on the other side for a
little over $5 on the average. They
have sold foi $2. England consumes
about 180,000 barrels of oysters in a
year. Our total export to foreign countries
runs from 80.000 to 100,000 barrels.
A great many oysters are shipped
to England and planted on English beds,
where .hev get the copper tast' eculiar
to English oysters. American oysters
reach the market over there about ten
or eleven days after they are shipped,
and they are generally in prime condition.
The heaviest shipments arc made
in the spring. Last spring a Norwalk,
Conn., dealer shipped a quantity to tho
order of the Queen. His neighbors are
laughing at him yet 'for having sandpapered
the shells."

How Conscience Honey was Paid.
The St. John (New Brunswick) Globe'
says:
A clerical gentleman called at a ticket
agency in the city and asked the price of
two first class tickets for Halifax. The
agent said that the cost would be $15.
"Then," said the clergyman, "how
far could I travel on a $;> ticket?"
"To Point du Chene orMemranicook,"
replied the clerk.
"I will take two tickets for Halifax,
also a ticket for Point du Chene," said
the divine.
The tickets were handed over to the
reverend gentleman, who, after paying
$15 for them, immediately tore up the
two first class tickets for the trip to
Halifax. The agent naturally looked in
astonishment at this proceeding. After
the pasteboard had been scattered in
pieces and deposited in the scrap basket,
the clergyman turned to the agent and
said:
"I suppose you wonder at what I have
done?''
The agent answered: "Well, yes, sir,
I do."
"Well," said the clergyman, "a man
with whom I was talking told me ho
had cheated the railway out of $15, and
his reinorBe was so great that he gave
me the money to pay it over to the railway
department. I do not know of any
better way of squaring the account."

The Last of His Race.
A good story was told us the other day
about a purse-proud nobleman who was
travelling through the rural districts of
Sweden. Over >u the country the people
do not have quife as much respect for the
title aristocracy us in some other localities
on the Continent.
One day this nobleman came rolling up
to a country tavern, and as he stopped his
carriage, he called out in an imperious
tone,?
"Llorscs, landlord, horses here at once 1"
**I am very much pained to inform you,
my lord, that you will have to wait something
over an hour before fresh horses can
be brought in," replied the landlord.
"How!" violently exclaimed the noble
man; "this to me? my man, I demand
fresh horses, and at once!"
Thon nlwi>rvin(r two frpsli find slf^ek
looking animals, which were being led uj
to another carriage, he said,?
"For whom are those horses?"
"They were ordered for this gentle
man," answered the landlord, pointing tc
a tall, slim individual a few paces distant.
"I say, my man," called out the noble
man to the slim gent, "will you let m<
have those horses if I pay you a libera
bonus therefor?"
"Not much," answered the slim gent
"I intend to use them myself "
"This to me!" exclaimed the haughty
nobleman.
"That's what I said," replied the slin
man,
"Perhaps you a-rc not aware who ]
am?" roared the now thoroughly agitated
and irate nobleman. "I am, sir, Field
marshal Baron Geo. Sparre. the last and
only one of my race."
"1 am very glad to hear that, said th<
slim man, stepping into his carriage. "II
would be a terrible thing to think thai
there might be more of you coming. I air
inclined to think that your race will be t

The plan worked wcH. The old ,gcn
