What reading level is The Oyster Industry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It asserted that then the oyster-trade might be called only thirty years old, yet that there were a thousand vessels, of from 45 to 200 tons, engaged in winter in supplying the dealers in Oliver slip and other depots with Virginia oysters. The value of these vessels, on an average, was $3,000 each. This statement must, of course, have included all bringing southern oysters to any portion of New York bay, and, at best, seems exaggerated. "The crew," continues the account of these vessels, "is co...mposed generally of four hands and the cook, and the monthly wages given to each person varies from $12 to $30 # # *. Unlilie the fishermen of Fulton market, they do not own shares in the boats upon which they are employed." The account continues : The amount received for Virginia oysters, sold by the dealers in Oliver slip alone, is estimated at $250,000 a year. This, however, ia not more thau ouo-third of the quantity disposed of in the vicinity of Catherine market ; for the space in the slip is so limited that the business of the dealers is greatly retarded and' cramped.
