Oyster Shortage Now.

Indianapolis, Jan. 24.—An oyster famine is the latest in the shortage line in Indianapolis. A dealer today declared that there were less thap thirty gallons of oysters in the city and that only a small supply was in transit to the local market. The prices have been advanced twenty cents on the quart. The shortage is attributed to freezing over of oyster beds.
