LUSCIOUS BIVALVES
SERVED ONCE AGAIN
The Depots Are Crowded
With Lovers of the
Delicious Oyster.
SEASON LOOKS PROMISING
Wholesale Dealers Expect the Quality
to Be Particularly Fine Excessive
Rains Improve the Flavor and Allow
Oyster to Fatten.
Yesterday was the opening of the
oyster season, and there was unusual
activity in the various depots in this
city in consequence thereof. Notwith
standing the warm weather, there was
considerable business done at the oyster
stands, and everybody willingly extend
ed the glad hand to the "R."
The oyster Is a distinctive American
delicacy It might almost be called the
national bivalve. The American pro
duct bears the palm over all others and
is exported to all countries on the globe.
It is as typically American as pork and
beans is typically Bostonese. Nearly
everybody in this country eats oysters.
In foreign countries it 1s. the rare privi
lege of those only who are better situat
ed in worldly goods.
It Is a cheap and wholesome food
here and is prepared in a dozen different
ways. An oyster feast goes well with
champagne and it goes well with beer
or water; it goes well under any and all
circumstances. The oyster is decidedly
democratic, mingling as it does with all
classes and being a great favorite with
the masses.
Promise of a Fine Season.
The season is very promising, accord-,
ins to the wholesale, dealers. Samples
from the various bays from which the
early crop will be gathered and reports
of the cultivators indicate that the
crop will be of good quality and the
quantity will be substantially the same
as in other years. There is never any
appreciable change in the general con
ditions of the oyster industry, dealers
say. There may be a year when the
physical condition of the oyster is some
what less satisfactory than normally.
but the bivalve usually recuperates
easily, -and with proper care the beds
will produce well. The prices of the
bivalve have not varied greatly in years.
The enemies of the oyster are numer
ous. The starfish, the mussel, the drum
fish, the periwinkle, and the drill con
stantlv menace the beds, and great care
and considerable expense is taken to get
rid of these destructie species. Also,
as much care is taken in "weeding" the
plot as is taken In keeping weeds out of
the land garden.
The peoples of foreign countries have
found the American oysters larger and
more luscious than those raised In Eu
ropean waters, and also devoid of that
coppery taste so characteristic of the bi
valve grown there. The result is a cood-
stzed market in Europe for the Ameri
can oyster. Shipments abroad Mill be
gin about the middle of November.
Arrival "of First Boatload.
The first boatload of oysters arrived
in the city early Sunday morning in
the oyster boat Mary and Rebecca, of
Alexandria. The cargo consisted of
about ICO bushels, which sold at 60 cents
a bushel, which is considered a fair
price. They were not of the large size,
having been taken from close to the
shore. Two boatloads are expected to
day, and after that they will come in by
the dozens. Those landed yesterday anJ
those expected today are from Blackls
ton's Island, situated in the lower part
of the river.
Speaking of the prospects of the oys
ter season, the supply and demand for
the bivalve, and all other features con
nected with the article, a dealer said
yesterday: "There will be only a lim
ited supply of the market so long as
we have to depend on "tongers." On the
15th of next month the dredgers will be
gin their work; and then we will have
plenty of oysters and a much'better ar
ticle. But prospects this year are nor
mal and prices are normal. There Is no
special demand for any particular brand.
Of course, caterers and epicures always
prefer fancy brands. .The Virginia oys
ter is the better flavored, but 'the Xew
York brand is better looking than the
Southern product.
People Who Wait for Frost.
"There are many people who do not
eat oysters until the first frost has set
in, which, in my opinion, is very good
reasoning. Now. the oysters feed on all
sorts of vegetables and fish, either dead
or alive; there is plenty of everything,
and the oyster is not very particular
just now what it feeds on. But when
the cold weather sets in. the oyster will
have to hunt for food; dead fish or
vegetables won't be so plentiful, and
the supply of the oyster will then con
sist of cleaner and healthier food.
"Oyster boats will from now on come
daily in and bring ail the oysters we
need. There is really no reason why
there shouldn't always he plenty of
them: there is nothing to stop them,
only frozen rivers, -vhich make dredg
ing almost impossible. The oster sea
son never creates a special boom in our
business, though it does with the res
taurants and eating places. We sell
oysters all summer; of course they are
shucked. That trade will considerably
fall c!T, and the shell product will take
its place- to a very great extent.
"Washington people arc great oyster
consumers and are good judges of the
article. They are very fortunate, as
they receive their supply directly from
the growers and are so near to the
grounds. This latter fact always insures
a fresh oyster ns well as first pick."

"This woman 'was with four or five
other women talking on Seventh street
Saturday night, and refused to move
on when I told her to," said Policeman
Hickson, when Emma Tolliver, a neatly
dressed young colored woman, was
charged in the police court yesterday
with disorderly corduct.
The woman explained that the officer
had greeted her with "Ha! ha!" and
that when another woman who was with
her remarked thai she thought it was
against the rules for policemen to flirt,
ho deliberately nriestcd her. She de
clared that she had not been on tho spot
where she was arrested more than two
minutes, and had in no way disturbed
an j one.
Two other witnesses corroborated her
statement, and Judge Bundy dismissed
the case against her.
