*‘ Representatives
BOSTON. May l8.—{)iflcers ,were
elected and a resolution was adopted
calling on the United States Senators
and representatives to secure a large
appropriation from congress in order
to promote oyster culture at. the con-
vention of the National association of
the shell fish commissioners yesterday
The resolution points out that while
industry comprises one-
third of the value of, the fisheries of
the corrntry and is capable of greater
increase than any other. still the gov-
ernment spends one hundred times as
:much on the other fisheries as upon
that of the oyster-men.

the selection of a committee compris-
ing Dr. George W. Field. chairman of
the Massachusetts fish and game com~
mision; John Craft, of Alabama, Fired-

Mule 01’ Maryland, which was isstruct-
ed to go to New Haven next week ‘to

BALTIMORE. Md., ‘May 20.-—A com-
mittee of the city wide Congress of
Baltimore which has been making
an inquiry into the causes of the high
cost of living will the week submit
its report.
Summarised, the report states that
prices have been raised for the fol-
lowing masons; Increased supply of
gold; price control of exchanges and
agreements: tariff‘ on foodstuffs;
abuts ofoold storage to help corner
markets decreased: labor on farms:
decrease of farming around the city;.
excessive profits by middlemen, due
to the many small shops; too much
handling between producer and con-
surner; too much purchasing on cred-
it at advanced prices: growing lux-
uriousness of the people.
Among remedies suggested is the
establishment of a national and inter-
national congress and clearing house
to ventilate the relative value of gold
and staple products at stated inter-
vals. The removal of tariff on food-
stuffs and laws controlling cold stor-
age and making corners in food pro-
ducts ilegal are also urged.
