FISHERMEN CLAIM ( OOl.
WEATHER WILL RESIIT
IN FIRM. FAT OYSTERS,
point of size and flavor It
has developed during the past week
the oysters in Galveston Bay promise
to be the best in years and a banner
season is being looked forward to by
local fishermen as the first cool
weather approaches. Although the
season opened September 1 there are
only six boats at present working in
the harbor, due to the lack of demand
caused by the prevailing hot weather
The season's crop will be small,
according to many of the oldest oys-
terings now working in Galveston
Bay. All beds in East and West
Bays give promise of producing a
good quality of oyster, but only on
Pepper grove is there a promise of a
large supply. Some oysterings re-
port that a good quality of the bi-
valve has appeared on Shell Island,
which many years ago was the best
reef in the bay, but which has not
produced oysters in any quantity for
the last fifteen years.
Approximately 300 barrels of oys-
ters already have been taken from
the waters of the bay this season. Al-1
though the weather has been ex-
tremely hot throughout the summer,
the oysters ar efalrly firm and are of
the usual October quality. They are
not however, as fat as the bivalve
caught in midwinter.
Indications are, according to onion
oystermen, that the price of oysters
will remain at $1.50 a barrel whole-
sale, which was the price voluntarily
fixed by the local union. The former
price was $2 to $2.50 a barrel. At
the present time an expert oysterman
can gather six or seven barrels a day
with the long-handled tongs which
are being used exclusively in the bay
to gather the oysters.
The boats which are now engaged
in gathering oysters usually remain
out only thirty-six hours. This is
being done to Insure the sate condi-
tion of the oysters for market during
warm weather. As soon as the first
norther strikes the bay a score or
more larger boats will put out and
remain until a full cargo is obtained.
The conditions under which the oys-
ter are now being marketed Insure
the safe condition of the food, local
oystermen say.
Both Charles Branton and George
II< liner, who have been gathering
oysters dall ysince the first of the
season, declare the oysters to be fat-
ter for this time of the year on every
reef in the l>ay than ever before. Elm
Point, Lady's Pass, Moody’s Channel,
North Shore, Izing Point and Pepper
Grove are all producing a fine qual-
ity of oyster, it is reported. However,
the true condition of the fall and
winter supply of the bivalves will not
be known until October 1. when the
oystermen will begin to work all of
the reefs intensively. — Galveston ,

Houston, Texas, Sept. 12.—Despite
the sluggishness of the rice market
last year and the inability of many
rice farmers to dispose of their crops,
the outlook for a
meat of the grain from this district
during the coming season due to a
marked advance in prices is encour-
aging to the growers and millers, ac-
cording to statements from marketing
and milling officials here today.
According to a report issued here
yesterday by the United States agri-
cultural statistician, E. M. Johnson
the condition of the Texas crop of
rice is 87 per cent of normal and is
equivalent to an average yield of 35.23
bushels of forty-five pounds an acre
' and the total state production of 5,-
I 447,000 bushels.
; Only SO per cent of the rice acre-
' age in Texas and Louisiana was in
j cultivation this year. Many of the
growers were unable to finance large
crops this year due to the disastrous
season last year. Rice authorities
here agree that not more than 100,000
barrels of rough and clean rice of the
last year’s crop is left in the ware
houses of Texas and Louisiana.
Growers who were forced to store,
their grain due to the lack of a mar-
ket last year received about $3 25 a
barrel and in many cases they were
unable to dispose of the rice at any
price. An advance of $1 to $1.50 a
barrel has been noticed since this
year's cro phas apepared on the mar
ket. Manufacturers of rice products
here state that prices ranging from $4
to $4.25 a barrel is being paid for
the new crop
Shipments of rice to foreign coun-
tries has been on an increase during
the pas two months. Practically all
Toxas ports have participated in the
export of grain. Most of the ship-
ments made were to fill orders plac-
ed with brokers some months ago and
the cargoes consisted wholly of last
year's crop German ports have been
the principal recipients of grain ship-
ped from Houston. The majority of
the shipping board vessels operated by
Daniel Ripley ft Co., steamship
agents, have carried, in addition, to
their assignments of cotton, large
quantities of rice and rice products,
With the coming of the harvesting
season and the arrival of now rice
on the market here, growers and
millers are hopeful that the market
Is sufficiently stimulated to warrant
full acreage production next year.
