' Export Oyster Trade.
The amount of oysters exported to
Europe for the season of 1890 and ’91,
principally by the large shippers of
Norwalk and vicinity, was 98,802 bar-
rels. The season began October 4,
1890, when 406 barrels were exported,
and closed May 16, 1891, when 2,225
barrels were shipped. The amount ex-
ported to Europe for the season of 1889
and ’90 was 122,166 barrels: and for the
season of 1888 and ’89, 103,107 barrels.
Not since the season of 1883 and ’84,
when 71,020 barrels were exported,
have the shipments of oysters for Eu-
rope ever been so small as this season.
This is attributed to the stagnation of
English industries. Planting is now in
progress in this vicinity.
