Ononoof these ci-afts nt the foot of Uroomo-st. , the vuporter obtained nn account of the oyator trade from Alexander 1'Vazcr ' , nu oxtcnsivo dealer. " \Voll , sir , " saU lie " from present indicatioim you may oxpnct a large supply for the coming season , cspeci- nlly of lurgo oysters , such ns are con sumed huio in the city. Thu prospect looks very good , indeed. The oyntnra aru growing tiuely , nnd few beds have been molested by any of the oyster's enemies. There have been n few des troyed in Prince's Buy by the mussels in id borers , nnd there hiivo been n good many seed oysters killed by bor ers in Orator Hay. But thesis depre dations nro not very serious. Sen- stars , or star fiah , have not given much trouble of late , nnd I h.xvo not heard of drumfish much since about six years npo , when they destroyed oysters worth § 50,000 in 1'rinco's Bay. WIIKKU THK OYSTERS CO.MK I'llOM. "Ovsters are received hero from Port Washington and Glcnuwood , on the East liiver ; Stamford nml Green wich , Conn. ; Oyster Bay , Cow Bay , Kocknway and Blue Point , L. 1. ; Princo's Bay , S. I. ; Kcyport , Perth Amboynnd the Shrownbury River , N. J. ; and also from the Dulawaio nnd Ohcsaueako Bays and Norfolk , V . All the oysters coming from the li .at llivor and along the sound \vo call by the gcnerul name of East Rivers , ' adding the name of the locality where grown , ns Fort Washington East Rivera. ' Moro oysters are being raised up the East River and Soumf every year. Five times ns many come from there now ns did a few years ago. They nro supplanting thu Virginia oysters in popular favor. East River oysteis are salt , whil those from Piinco Bay nro what wo call 'fresh.1 Tlio former have the best llavor. Rockaways nnd Shruwsburys nre of about the snmo quality as East Rivers. What wo call 'sounds' nre oysters taken from Nownrk Bay , when nbout the si/.o of a dime or quarter dollar , and planted. Blue Points nre the favorite with connoisseurs , and are noted for their sweet , rich flavor. The grounds nro on the south side of Long Island. Blue Points are not ns salt as East Rivera. These uro the bent which grow naturally and are not planted. "Tlio Virginia oysters are inferior to those raised in this vicinity , and will only bring 50 cents a bushul out of the schooners , when East Rivers command 51.50. There is ns much difl'erenoo between Blue Points and Virginias , as between a domestic and a Ilnvnnna cigar. I can tell the local ity whore the oysters have come from , if you should show mo ten different kinds , just by looking at the sheila. But they are really no varieties , r the difference all depending on the locality in which they are grown.A - mud bottom tom oyster is darker and of "poorer quality than one grown on hard bet tom. A change from one kind of bottom tom to the other scorns to make them fat and better. Oysters will grow plumber and rounder on n hard bet tom. Growing in mud their shape is elongated. If you look near the hinge of the oyster's shell , you can see where the iirst year's growth ended , and no- : ice the growth in each year after. Many seed oysters nro also raised nt Now Haven , oyster shells being used tor the spawn to adhere to. I plant oysters in six different places Oys- : ors begin to spawn nbout May 15'h , and nre about through by August 20th. HOW THK CHOP IS MARKETED. "They are , " continued Mr. Frazer , "about thirty-five wholesale oyster dealers in this city , nnd only ten or Ifteen of these are heavy planters. We keep a number of shops , nnd em ploy many men during the season , raying good hands 82 a day. Thu im plements used are tongs , something ike two iron rakes with their handles linged , a broad iron rnko with curved teeth , and a 'dredge1 or scraper , with a wire or hemp netting to catch the oysters. The boats usually go out nnd back with a load by evening , in imo for the next morning's trade. Trucks then take the oysters wherever wo have orders for them , nnd if any are left over they are transferred to Ilia barge , which is easily done us it rides on a level with thu .sloop. " "Who nre your best customers in the city ? " "Thu hotel usually ; some very un- retentions ones use a large quantity ) f oysters. Then wo sell many to Ful- .011 market dealers. These little oys- cr nnd clam counters , which you BOO on the street cornels , use more than rou would think/ They nro our best iiistomora in warm weather. From May ta September almost all tlio sup- ily comes from Princo's Bay and Key- nirt. In the fall and winter they iomo from Blue Point nndRockawny , ind East Rivera are in market all thu Benson from September to May. , But hen Homo resivaraiitu will ? ell you my kind out of the same basket. "Many oysters corno direct in choonerA from Virginia in winter , klnny , too , nro opened there , and nro old hero in p.iila , or by quart , Some- imea ourEast River bodw get fro/.tm ) ver in the winter. Lu : > t winter there voro eororal weeks when oyster boitn ! voro delayed. "Tho oyster canning business is n argo intoicst hero , as nyntcra nro hipped all over thu country , cspe > ially to the west. Virginia plants IK ! Sounds are mostly used for thin mrposo , jo they nro cheaper than the nor flavcicd oysters. Few oysters re put in kegs of late years , as cans ircsorvo the flavor better. After the ana are filled , they are nealcd and nit in a box with ice pricked around hem , if the weather in warm , but lint is not neconsiiry in winter. It's i big trade , this oyster business , hough I could not give u very exact atinmto of it. " A ( IHOWI.MI UUMANU I'OH KXI'OIIT , "What ia the prospect for flipping ystora to Europe ? " " Wo could probably ship more him we ahall luwu to send , Thu for- ign market wante small oysters that run from 1,000 to 1,500 in a kirro There is going to bo a scarcity of sum ones , ns our homo market is usin smaller ones every year. O r oxpor trade has giown up in the lait ROVO years. Five years ago I sent wo JOO.OOO oysters nnd r < cei\ed wor that the market wns glutted , Nm this mnrkut sometimes oxpnrts 4,001 barrels a week. Lost year < n-cr 70IKX barrels were exported , nnd in the VLM before about 02,000 barrolc. Thu Kn glish nro not ns great oyster-oafors a Americans. They like tl-.oir n.-.livo oysters best , a * they hhvo . \ copporj taste. Consequently AiniM.rou . oys lers only bring nbout half us iinu'li a English. Some of their ( ysti'is como from Wales and aomo from Ireland where a largo oyster bed had reeentlj been discovered. 4 Our exports go mainly I" l.iver eel nnd London. A few no to Paris iVe send n good many to \\ales for seed. They are laid on the shore where ( hey nro covered at high tide A law there prevents anyone fiomtak ing up native oysters during three o ; tno months of the year , and so tlu-j take up the American stock durinj , three months. Oystora for export an not opened , but packed as tightly as possible in barrels , and headed up. They would not keep if opened , unless they were pickled. Blue Points are the favorites m the foreign market of the American oyaters. The law forbids their being taken up before September 15. " The demr nd for clams is nt its height when that for oysters doclinet , from May 1 to September 15. It has been thu best season for clams in aov- on years back. The best eliuiis come from Little Neck and Cow Buy , those from Fire Island and EIJC ; Harbor being - ing inferior. VIEWS or oY.sTim IIBALEIIS. A prominent dealer in oysters at Fulton Marko said recently : "There never was a promise of a better season than this. There is nothing to com plain of in size or flavor. The Shrowsburya and East Rivers wo find more abundant than over before , and the meat is firm and of n rich and del icate llavor. Rockaways nro by some thought bettor yet. The outlook for our foreign trade with England nnd Franco wns never bettor , there being a constantly increasing demand. " Ono denier at Fulton Market toqlcn more gloomy view of the oyster trade. Ilo thought the depredations by mus sels and drills in Princo's Bay , the high cost of oyster seed , nnd the in creased amount of capital necessary in the business would prevent , oysters from selling nt very low prices. "This is the lust dull week wo will have in this business , " said Mr Porter ter , a member of the firm uf J. W. Boyle it Co. , wholesale dealois at the foot of Broomo street , Ea t River. "Tho trade will begin with a rush September 1st. The better claw of custom begins and closes very prompt ly with the season , but the cheaper class holds good the year round. Many poisons think the sale of clams exceed that of the oysters in the sum mer months , but wo have sold 500 baskets of oysters on many days this summer ; but wo did not begin to sell as many clams Yes , there will bo a largo crop , and ono of unusually finu quality. Shrowsburys that were poor last year at this time are now plump ns one could wish , nnd if theykenp on growing will have to burst tlio shells. "Indications point to an active fall trndo , and wo have sold twice ns many in the past summer as in any summer before. Wo plant oysters in nineteen different places. Wo are now starting a branch at Perth Amboy with a force of 100 men to open the oysters. A good nun will open 4,000 n day , and is paid $1 per thousand. " "Do you imagine thu public will get the oysters nt much cheaper rates on account of a plentiful crop ! " "No , not much cheaper. You see , for fancy oysters , Shrowsburys , East Rivers and Blue Points , wo have a regular schedule of prices that wo keep from year to year. It is a pre carious crop. Some years ago wo lost 30,000 bushels of Keyport that wore smothered by being covered with sand. Not long ago the ice carried away thousands of bushels of oystoro in the Rappahannock river. Our beds sometimes get fro/.on over , and wo have to keep flying around every where to get a supply. Then there are the mussels , drills , drumfish , and sea-stars that swoop down upon the beds like pirates occasionally. Even should oyatcrc bo cheaper at whole sale , the retailers and restaurants would bo apt to keep up their regular rates. Still , the fact of a good ciop is good news to the public , ns they will certainly not have to pay above regular nrices , while there will bu plenty for rich and poor , and the Duality is fine.

It is a well known fact that th northern division of Colorado , that i to sty the Hcction of country hin north of thu line of the South Pai railway , hns in itself very siilllcicii lignites to meet all the demand ? of if population for item-ration ? , nnd pci liap.i for centurion to como , includin thu wants of the railways nnd th mines for steam power. It h als well understood that none of thos coals , thus fnr mined , arc suitable fo coking by any process in use west o the Mississippi. Wo have the state ment , however that a company ha recently onjanifcod for the purpose o coking them by means of the nonl ; discovered Austrian method , which , i is believed , will readily convert then into coke , and which will be fully described scribed when the plnnt is laid. While nature has provided for all our want , in this direction most lavishly , otho parts of thu state have been o'-oi more abundantly favored. If tin timber on the mountain sides ( since the plains nro treeless ) were our onb dependence for fuel , it would not enl > lie very costly , but it would bo absolutely lutoly exhausted in a century or so. Indeed , within thu short period o : settlement in the principal mining dis tricts the greater pait of thu limber for uiles nbout them has been destroyer jy forest tires , or consumed by the ) eople. Were there not an inexhnus- iblo supply of splendid carbon so distributed throughout the hnbitnblu ) ortions of the state ns to be cheap ! } ) lnced within the reach of all , the irospeet for the future would be al- nest appalling. Thu southern half of our great commonwealth is equally well provi- led for in the matter of < | imutity , vith the advnntngo of bettor quality , or much of thuuonl in that sect ion is oadily convertible into coke. Thou- audi of toim of this conuuiuliiy are undo there for use in manufactories if various kinds , but chiully for smelt ng gold and silver ores.

The > rincipal discoveries , however , are on Jock creek , near its hu.d ; on some of he tributaries of Slntc river , east of lubycampj'on Anthracite river , south- vest of Irwin , and on Anthracite reek , west of Irwin , a distance of bout sixteen miles. Semi-anthracite s found on Coal crook , n branch of \nthrncite. The bituminous vario- ies are on Slate river ; on Coal crook , no of its branches ; on Ohio crjek ; on 2anon creek , a branch of Ohio ; on the ewer portion of Coal creek , n branch of Anthracite , and in the formation ) olow Anthracite , on the North Fork f Guunisou river. These formations lao extend north n"d west. The anthracite veins nro from three o Hoven feet in thickness , and thu lituminoim from iivo lo eight feet. STo extensive developments have oc- urrcd , as there has been no marketer or these products beyond thu needs f the local population. Both the South Pnrlc and Denver t Rio Grande railways will inivurse lie batter portions of theo enormous oal fields , All except the anthracite takes splendid coke , the beat thus fnr iroduced from any four Colorado oals , except possibly , those of the outh park , nt Como.

Arrangements are in pi ogress for hu construction of it Inrgu number of looking ovens in thu ( iiimmon co.il lold.s , just as anon as the railways diull bo completed to the first of the ; ories. Of course when anthracite : an bo laid down in Denver for eight to ten dollmy per ton , it will bu very lurgoly preferred to the softer coals for doimis'.ic use , and this supple menting the manufacturing demand , will BOOH create a very heavy and lirofitablo new trallio for the roadn.
