Oysters still continue in great demand. Last week 438 -bags were received at the Government oyster depot. This was the largest supply for any one week this season, and they were atonic© disposed: of, leaving still a large number of orders unfulfilled from all parts of the Dominion. Yesterday morning the largest single shipment for this season was received, a consignment of 180 bags arriving from Waiheke. Ln conversation with a reporter, a welLknovyn oyster dealer stated that if the oysters were kept for about 10 days they. improved very'much in flavor, and they fattened on their own juice. Unfortunately, owing to the supply of oysters being so small, tradesmen could not afford ten, days, although a bag of oysters that had been kept yielded 25 per cent, more bottled than a, bag that was bottled immediately after picking.
