* Enhancement in value of oysters transported. 
Noth. — Sufficient data are not at hand to exhibit similar tables for 1892-93, hut the information from the various 
oystering centers indicates that the yield during that season was about 10,142,500 bushels, for which the oystermen and 
transporters received $5,500,000. Of this amount 4,432,500 bushels were obtained by tongmen, 3,100,000 by dredgers, and 
2,610,000 by scrapemen, the total number of men employed approximating 21,200.
