European Oyster Shipments Stopped

New York, 1895

In consequence of the report that American oysters from certain points contained typhoid contagion, owing to alleged sewerage deposit upon the oyster beds, the various shippers of the Great South bay have received word from England to stop all shipments to Europe for the present.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 1, 1895, p. 12.
