THE MORNING OEEGONIAN. FRIDAY; JULY 1905. 15 SALMON PACK LIGHT Run of Fish in Lower Colum bia Just Beginning. MO TALK YET OF HIGHER PRICES Seven Carloads of Watermelon on u Cool Day Nearly Swamp Front Street Pratt Trade Local , Produce Quotations. The run of salmon In the lower Columbia has been backward so far. The first-good eaten was made Wednesday and fishermen believed It marked the beginning of the end, the final big run. According to yesterday's Astorlan, one man brought In 2400 pounds for which he realized $120; other large catches were also re-1 ported. 8. Schmidt .& Co. receh'ed a tele phone message advising them to bo prepared to receive fish. In large quantities. Reports from the glllhetters and seiners were not based on hearsay altogether, as In -comparison to the last few days fish were very plentiful. This was more true of. the Oregon side than of. the north shore, where an unusual run was not remarked. However, this was due. It Is be lieved to the heavy wind that prevailed la the lower harbor, which prevented the traps from being lifted. McGowan's canneries are doing little In consequence. Preparations are under Tsay to handle a large supply when the wind abates. The pack up to date has been very light and It looks now as if the total will be much short of last year, which was smaller than that of the previous season. Estimates of this year's pack up to July 6 place the total at less than 70,000 cases all told, ..Last year to the same date the pack for the river was nearly 130,000 peases. The season has run into the third month, and there is only a little over 80 daye of packing left. In that time the canners will have to pack steadily In order to catch up.fA. salmon Jobber Is quoted as saying: my buyers in the East are complaining 3Ut tho delays in deliveries of new pack ' chlnooks, and if the short run continues this fish will be safe for higher prices la Jobbing quarters. As yet there has been no advance in I prices from the packers; and there is so far as we know no talk of an advance. A good deal of packing can .be done, however, in the next 30 days, ami If the fish run as heavily in the latter part of the month as was the case last year much of the present shortage may be made up." There has as yet been no general run of I soekeyes in the Fraser River. Those caught- I bo far are only used for the market In British Columbia. Advices received from tho Skeena River and Rivers Inlet report that the run at these points is continuing good and the pack ing is going on quite satisfactorily. The sock- Ieye run usually begins on the Skeena from two to three weeks earlier than on the Praser. but in the Fraaer this year the run is excep tionally late. It Is the impression In packing quarters that (prices on the 1903 pack will not open below 05 cents on red Alaska and $1.10 on sockeye talis. Joseph Durney was quoted at San Francisco saying that ji6 safo prediction as to future Iprlces on Alaska reds could be made at pres ent. The Pacific Northern Packing Company jhas had heavy sales since It made the opening price of $1.10 for sockeye talrs. The price of Iaska reds will be determined largely by tho quantity of soekeyes packed this season and go" & lair as 00 cents or as high as $1. rhere has been a large demand for. spot salmon luring the past two weeks. An ofllcial of the Alaska Packers Association ild that they are not considering future prices.. recent advices have been received from the canners. There is no market to sneak of. ' association has secured inJnnctions re straining a number of packing companies from - sing the Letson-Burbee topping machine, vhlch is said to infringe on patents owned by the Alaska Packers' Association. Injunctions yere secured last season against the manufac tures of these machines at Falrhaven, Wash. A New York dispatch of recent date said: Spot sockeye tails are held at $1.35 In most Quarters, though on firm offer $1.32 might tuy. .Red Alaska tails are held at $1.05 to Fl 10, as to holder and brand, with here and there an offering available at a slight con tusion from the Inside figure on a lower trade. Sockeye flats are quoted at $1.37H and ohoe tails at 55 cents. On pinks 00 cents is kuoted and chums are held at 50 'cents for found lots. The general movement in Jobbing fcuarters is reported good, and the tendency If values Is toward a somewhat higher basis n the best offerings. New chlnook salmon is Icarce, though late advices from tho Colum- !Ia River indicate some improvement in the ack. Coast values 'are unchanged, but nack. are said to be behind in deliveries. No open- lg prices on futures In Alaska or soekeyes Ire announced. Cotton-Goods Trade of Manchuria. Consul H. B. Miller reports from Nlu Chwang thlna, May 28, 1003, In regard to the cotton- ads trade of Manchuria. The great market cotton goods in Manchuria Is attracting is earnest attention of Russian man'ufac irers at Moscow. They are seeking to capture ad shari of the $12,180,000 worth of the tton-goods trade that annually comes through it port and are offering most tempting In icements to merchants to go to Moscow to irehase their supplies. The consul further Mrs: 'Tho completion of the Siberian Railway has Unly brought a new factor into the great ptton-goods trade of North China, and Amer- lan manufacturers must be alive to the sit- itloa. and adjust their business arrangements meet these new conditions if they wish to bid their trade. Unless it is considered' use to -endeavor to hold and extend American ide in Manchuria,. It Is high, time interested nericans were giving more earnest atten sn to the- .industrial and commercial changes bw taking place In this part of the world. Eastern Crop OutlooTc. icturns from the .threshing continue to show w small and how much below the average I this year's yield of soft-Winter wheat. Dls- polntlng reports come from nearly every sec bn wherV soft Winter wheat is raised, the Sly noteworthy exceptions being Texas and tlahoma, although in Oklahoma the yield is it altogether up to expectations. Some millers Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Icncssce are already drawing wheat sun es from the accumulative centers, as they mot obtain sufficient stock for their re tirements at home. There are also some re rts of disappointing yields of hard Winter teat, but these are not of sufficient lmport- fce to create alarm. The quality and condl- tn of both soft land hard Winter wheat are sellcnt for milling purposes. ' " Portland Cement Prom Slag:. Portland cement has been made from blast' lace slag for several j'ears In various ce- Int works in Germany, Liuxemourg and fglum, and has aielded very satisfactory re- Its, especially In regard to quality. Negotla- is are. being carried on with some blast- Inace works with a view to the introduction so slag-ccment Industry into England, Aus- and France. Short PlcUIe Crop. reports come from California that the pickle will be extremely short and opening prices bo considerably higher thaa"those of last an. PORTLAND MARKETS.

Forced Settlements Due to Special Needs of Capitalists Break in Amalgamated Copper. NEW YORK, July 23. Excitement and un easiness developed, again In today's stock mar ket as a result it the renewal of thr urgent and apparently forced liquidation. This was believed to be due to the special neeils of in dividuals and the Identity of these Individuals was the subject of the usual gossip and the usual apprehensions. Amalgamated was th center of the excitement and much of the sell ing of it was said to be for Boston account, as reports were received of a violent break In the copper shares generally there. There whs nothing In the news of the trado to account for the break, the metal advancing sharply In the London market. Yeicrday's cut In the price of the metal here was not followed by any further recession today. Wall street showed considerable anxiety over the news of the failure of an Important build ing firm in Now England as It v was believed to Involve connections In the New York depart ment of that industry. Amalgamated, with Its half of 1 per cent dividend off. sold down to 30, a break of 5 and the lowes price on record. United States Realty lost 2 and the pre ferred 5, the last-named rallying 2 and Amal gamated closing only & above tho lowest. The fear that this vlolont liquidation was tho out growth of the New England business trouble gave currency to many rumors of business embarrassment in New York, which were often due to the sharp declines In special stocks In which Individual brokerage houses were believed to be largely Interested. None of these rumors could be substantiated. Another unfavorable influence In the stock market was the renewal of the violent specu lative fluctuations In the cotton market, with reports of purchases In Liverpool for re ship ment to this country for the relief of the dis tressed shorts. The stock market has been Inclined to respond with declines to the Jumps in the cotton market, though the common be lief Is that Wall street operators have been very persistent short sellers at the high levels prevailing in the cotton market. The excitement developed In the com market today was also detrimental to stocks. Joined as it was to reports of hot winds In the corn belt and danger to the corn crop. The suggestion of the Iron Age that the grSat decline Jn securities might check new undertakings, and thus adversely affect the demand in that trade, hurt the Iron and steel stocks, especially of Independent companies. The United States Steel stocks were notably affected Until the general weakness developed lato In the day, but declines of between 1 and 2 points from last night became fairly general then. Tho niarket had steadied near the last, but Southern Pacific's downward plunge of 2 to 43 made th close feverish and irreg ular. There were some d'ecllnes in bonds, but a few advances kept the tone Irregular. Total sales, par value. $2,230,000. United States bonds were all unchanged qn the last call. .Q So 3 : STOCKS.

Trade was large and active. Hot winds In Kansas and adverse crop re ports, with small receipts, gave a strong ef fect and excited the corn market early in the session. With slight depressions here and there, the strength held until tho close. Influ ential selling on the early advanco caused a decline from the high figure, but final prices showed September 1&1c belter at 50f?51c after ranging between 60S51c There was a big trade with a better cash demand and buying orders were In evidence on every hand. Oats were stimulated to fair activity on a higher range of prices by the bull movement in corn. Shorts covered freely on tho upturn and trade was good. On the whole, the market was firm with local bull traders Inclined w favor the long side of the distant futures. Sep tember closed 6c higher at 33c.

WILL STEADY STEEL MARKET. Effect of Revival of the Billet Pool. NEW. YORK. July 23. Commenting on the renewal of the billet pool, the Iron Age says It Is generally acknowledged that the revival of the agreement will have a steadying effect on the steel markett yet. that market Is much restricted when compared with what it was lu olden days. Only a small part of the steel tonnage reaches the open market. Many of the outside finishing mills, large and small have their own steel works, which supply a considerable part of their requirements, and. -sometimes furnish a slight surplus. The many Important finishing mills have long-time slldlng-scale contracts, which are not affected by recent happen ings. Still, the welfare of many small works will largely depend upon the course which the Associated Steelmakers, nearly all sellers o finished products ot one kind or another, will pursue. Regarding general conditions, the paper say: The burning question Is to what extent the decline In securities will check new undertak ings, and thus adversely affect the demand. In the Iron trade proper the waiting attitude of buyers Is being persisted In, and is having Its effect upon prices. There have been some pretty large sales of steel billets during the past two weeks. In some cases at low prices. The out side Bessemer plants meet a Bessemer pig market which Is essentially strong. The out side basic open-hearth plants are in a better position as to the basic pig market, where more ample supplies are available, notably from the South. The associated rati mills havo thus far officially reported sales aggregating for 1904, 450,000 tons, which Is not qulto up to the figures which detailed reports of trans actions would lead one to expect.
