T-TE 3ronIXG OKEGOMAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3 9, 1D08. 15 RED FISH SHORTAGE Strong Position of Canned Salmon Market. ONLY TWO MONTHS' SUPPLY Decreased Puck Compared With Meaily Increase rn Output of Leading Vegetables Foreign Demand Growing Again. Eastern trade reports concur In noting ths strong position of red Alaska almon. It Is estimated at JCew Torjt that the total supply In Jobbers' and packers' hands. In this country Is sufficient to cover requirements for only two months at the present rate of consumption. The Kelley-Clarke Company, in a circular, gives some interesting com IarlaoM of salmon packs covering a period of seven years, end contrasts these- figures, which show a steady decline In "output dur ing that period, with the steady Increase of production in the three principal staples In canned vegetables. They say: "With apologies for dropping Into figures, we venture to offer the following, . the basis of faith there Is in us: , Largest salmon pack on record, jOOl ". 5.010.0B1 Average for seven years . . .4.064. lio2 Average lftOl to l'.nM, Inclusive 4,0."V7.0.2 Averase 1004 to 1!H7, Inclusive 3,SM.7oi .smallest -pack (seven years), 1!HI1. .a.lilM.lljt This years pack..... . ;1,878..'1.j Note the uteady decline since 1901..

There are two important reasons: First, the pack of cheaper, lower grade fish has Increased and in a measure has filled the gap. Second, the canned beef scare in 1906 kilted our market in the Vnlted Kingdom. Imports of canned salmon .fell from J. 200.000 cases to C3S than 4K, 000 cases per annum. Average monthly de liveries from Liverpool public warehouses for the seven months on from June,..' lOOtJ. fe.ll to 18.717 cases, as compared wltha monthly average of 43,770 cases for the pre ceding seven months. What am conditions now? Both domestic, consumption and foreign." exports of- pinks ' and chums have increased steadily and rap idly. Annual requirements for these grades are now In excess of 1,000.000 cases, we cannot pack that quantity. We havethls year, but we can't do it next year. The small carry-over (less than 200,000 cases) added to next year's pack cannot possibly reach 75 per cent sf a normal demand. In the United Kingdom conditions art again almost normal. The scare is over. November deliveries at Liverpool were 39,-" fiRO cases, the largest for that month since 1902. Prices have advanced from lts d 17s In January, 1907 to 21sig21 6d In Jan "uary. 190S. Stocks at Liverpool are-at the lowest point since 1901. The United Kingdom look hut S7.317 cases red Alaska from our lftOfl pack, and have taken about 240.000 cases from our 1907 pack, and would take more If they were to be had. - With this great market coming ' In for 7fi0,00 cases tq 1.000. (JoO eases tall grades) annually, and with the pack' steadily- de creasing, what is going to happen? Wi believe next year will bIiow a shortage of all grades without, exception." STOCKS OF ORKGON PRCJTES LIGHT. Allen Kstlmatrs Holdings at Lees Than 65 Cars Trade Moderately Hunylied. W. G. Allen, of the Allen Fruit Company, of Eugene, who Is now at New York on. a visit to the Eastern fruit trade, has made the following statement to a trade. Journal on t he situation in Oregon prunes: The estlmftted holdings of Oregon prunes on the coast are between 40 and 5 car loads, of which not over five cars are-, held hy the growers. This is an exceedingly small carryover when It is considerd that Oregon, this year, had a crop of 2.1,0'NVOOO to 27. orxi.ooo pounds the largest in the history 'of the state. I ilnd that mall stocks are being carried by Jobbers in all the Important sec tions of the country, and In many cases the small jobbers are beginning to buy to meet their trade requirements. Prunes. I consider.-' are in a good position and here should be some advance In prices hetore the active Spring trade sets It The s;ock of Oregon prunes now left off the Coast Is made up of sizes 40a and 50s and sellers quote a I'st.ic four-slxo bag basis f o. b. for prompt f-hlpment. It is probable that the nex.f season's crop will bo a small one. for the Winter has been mild and un favorable for the trees. We rarely have two full crops of prunes In succession. ONION MAKKETS ARE OFF AGAIN. Ijtrge Receipts nf KaMrrn Mock Cause Weakness. The onion markets all along the Coast are heavily storked and the feeling In the trade is weak. Large arrivals of Kastern onions In California have caused the trouble. Some rf these Eastern onions have arrived in poor order, but others are or high quality and come Into d'rect competition with Ore gon!. The latter -ere now quoted In the Southern market at $2.."0 ; 2.63, and In view of this deduction, buyers here are not offer ing more than $2.25. Growers generally are holding for the former price of $2.50. The potato market Is dull and weak here and in San Francisco. , Freeh, produce was In demand and good progress was made In cleaning up the previous, day's receipts. Among the arrivals were a car of Los Angeles cauliflower and a. car of Northern California oranges. The receiver of the car of celery rejected Mon day, got a reduotion on it, and part of it was put -on sale Another car of celery Is due today. An assortment of steamer veg etables Is expected this morning. WHEAT WEAK A'li DEOUXIXO. No Further Business Reported In Export Flour Trade. The- wheat market was dull and wak yesterday. Borne dealers quoted values lower, and unless there Is a change In the foreign wheat situation today, there will be a general decline In prices bid. No further developments in the Oriental flour trade are reported beyond the sale of 4300 tons to Siberian and North China buy ers, announced Monday. This business was made possible by the advantageous freight rates to thr.se ports and the decline in flour prices on this side had no ccmneetlqn what ever with any war scare In the south of Etlrope. Wells But Imbrie nop. Very little business was reported in hops yesterday and only a fow buyers were- in the market. Among the purchases was the Imbrie lot of 200 bales at Hlllsboro. which was secured by Ernest Wells.. Bank Clearing. . Clea rings of the Northwestern cities yes terday wera as follows: Clearings.

BUT COPPERS ARE WEAK Gould Shares' Touch Lower I.fvcl Than for Many Years Past. " Sharp Declines In Bonds . on Heavy Trading. NEW YORK, Feb. 18. rlie short con tracts which were put out in yesterday's de clining stock market made the source of the demand which carried prices toward re covery today. "The bears were prompted to cover partly by the lack of verification of some of the rumors which helped to carry prices downward yesterday", but more de cidedly by the fact of file decline offering a small profit- in the buying of stocks. The market dwindles to narrower proportions from day to day. and the professional trad ers are eager, therefore, to take a quick profit when It offers. The recovery today was spotty and interrupted and there were points of continued weakness In the list. As the recovery proceeded, the demand lessened and left the trading at times In a condition of stagnation. The news of the day offered no evidence of important changes in the" conditions which have led up to the present (full and neglected market. Items" from scattered sources, representing the resumption of fac tory operations which, had been suspended on account of the financial depression, promrted a belief m a gradual recuperation in the Industrial, conditions, but the con tradiction of additional curtailment in other places or other lines of Industry leaves the situation unsettled as to the progress of revival. The copper industry is a center of depres sion, and securities of companies Involved in It are showing lower prices In some cases than prevailed -during the panic episode of last Fall. That metal declined again today both in London and at the New York metal exchangei . 'and accumulating stocks in Europe threaten a discontinuance of the only -demand that has been a faotor of any i Importance in the trade for some time past. Discussion was kept alive -also by the de cision "of the principal steel producers to hold prtoes. Reports persist in the financial district of a possible reconsideration of this determination by the leading steel Indus tries. A reason given for holding prices at the present time is the unlikelihood of lower prices attracting effective demand from the railroads until conditions are propitious for the financing of the purchases of material. Securities of companies with large matur ing obligations to meet, and which have shown at the same time heavy inroads In the rate of earnings, continue to suffer in the price showing in the market. The Gould stocks, especially Missouri Pacific, sold he low 34 today, touching ,a lower price than for many years past. ' There was a Qomjnon downward tendency In discount rates in ' London and. on the continent, which was to the advantage of Investment securities. Foreign exchange here, . however, made a further strong re bound, bringing the advance from last week's figure for demand sterling to fully one cent in the pound. There is also a dis tinctly stronger tone In the local market 'for time money. The transfer of funds remit ted from abroad for subscriptions to the New York City bond issue, and for which bids :were unsuccessful, is given for prfrt explanation of the movement . of the ex changes. - There was active trading in the New York City bonds "when issued' at a recovery in price.
