FISHERMEN'S SCALE TOO HIGH Recent Catting of Price of Cheap Grade Fish. Also a. Factor la dependent Packers Not Ahle- to Beat Trust. BAN FRANCISCO, March 20. The. Bulletin ears: It is probable- that there trill be a light pack of salmon at the Alaska canneries this season. A number of the canneries will not open for operations, their managers claiming that they -will sot be able to pay the advanced schedule of wages demanded by the members of the Fishermen's Union. It Is known that for the past three years several' of the Independent canneries that are not controlled by the Alaska Packers Association have been struggling along barely able to pay their bills, and in some cases running considerably behind. Most of the canneries that will probably remain closed are along the shore of South eastern Alaska, and at those canneries much of the fish canned has been of the Inferior grades. Prices for these grades have been cut by the Associated Packers since the last season to figures below the actual cost of packing, and It Is held that this was done to force the In ferior grades out of the market as a measure of protecting the market for the better grades. The men of the Fishermen's Union have de manded a considerable increase in wages, and they claim that unless the canners agree to pay the advance they will be unable to operate their plants. Arrangements were mads today for fishermen for canneries at Copper River, and the wages agreed upon were 4c for red salmon and 10c for king salmon. The fisher men are also to be paid $15 a month from the time of arrival at the canneries until they leave, and should humpback salmon or the lower grades be canned, they should receive $5per 1000 fish. The canneries operating at Karluk and Cook Inlet have agreed to pay he price demanded by the fishermen. FORTLAJVD MARKETS. Grain. Flour, Feed. Etc. Wheat Is very dull, with no buying reported except for millers. Shippers complain of an absence of export inquiry. As the amount of wheat still In the country is small, not much business Is looked for during the remainder of the season. "WHEAT Walla "Walla, 74c; bluestam. 63o: Valley, 78c.

Trading in wheat was small, and the market held steady throughout the day. after rallying partially from a weak opening. The unexpectedly large Argentine shipments, together with lower cables, were, responsible for an opening decline In May of 4V4C Initial sales being made at 7374c Selling orders were quite liberal at the start, and May eased off to 78?4c but the strength In corn and fears of damage by the colder weather soon caused a rally, most of the early losses being regained, and -May advanced to 74V4 74Vic Covering by shorts held the market steady the latter part of the day, and the close was c lower, at 7444c There was a fair trade In corn, bat the busi ness was confined largely to local account. The close was strong and near the top. May being up c at 41!&44c Oats were helped some by the strength In corn. May closed a shade higher, at 34 Light receipts of hogs and higher prices at the yards caused a strongopenlng In provisions, and with a good commission-house demand, to gether with buying for export account, a fur ther advance was made, with May pork clos ing 15c higher, lard was up 15o and ribs 10 12V4c higher.

EX- Better PeellHg Pronoanced. la Yes terday's Deallagns Soatbern Pa cific aa Exception to Rale. NEW YORK, March 20. General improve ment was shown in the stock market today. The absence of selling pressure at the opening caused the professional element to cover in a number of active Issues, Vlth the result that numerous material gains were registered. Southern Pacific was one of the few exceptions, showing more or less weakness throughout the day. The bulk of today's business was done during the morning session, though in the last hour the market resumed its early activity, and closing prices were In many Instances the best of the day. The better feeling was more pronounced In the afternoon because of the greater ease In the time money rate, some loans being made at 5 per cent. It was the general opinion, that, barring untoward events, the situation should improve. The early gains took In Canadian Pacific, Louisville & Nashville. St. Paul and several specialties. Including Minneapolis & St. Louis, which advanced 4 points, and the etecl stocks. Later, there were, better prices for Baltimore & fOhio. the Erles, New York Central, St. Louis & San Francisco Issues and Rock Island. The advance In the last two named was ac companied by reports that an early announce ment of the much-discussed deal would be made. In the Industrial group, prices reached a higher level In Tennessee Coal, Colorado Fuel, Consolidated Gas, General Electrio and Na tional Lead. Sugar shares were weak through out, and Amalgamated Copper was very steady. A feature of the early afternoon was the sud den demand for Metropolitan, which was said to come from the largo short interest. On fairly large transactions, the stock made a net gain of 4 points, closing at the top. Missouri Pacific developed, some strength by reason of its statement of earnings, which was one of the most gratlfylmr features of the day. The hard-coal stocks were fairly strong, though not in active demand, and St. Paul advanced on what was reported to be Inside buvlmr. Lon don traded in about 12,000 shares here, buying siignuy on oaiance. The day's business was comparatively small, and commission houses continued to report an absence of public in terest. Much of the buying came from the various pools and cliques that were prominent on the short side up to a few days ago. There was no change In the foreign exchamre situation. Demand sterling rose a trifle In the morning, but eased off to $4.S725 toward the close. Very little business was reported. Fore casts of the week's money movements Indi cated a comparatively slight loss by the banks. The increasing strength of the market during the day led to a more general Inquiry for nu merous minor stocks, which had not figured in mo raiiy io any extent. These included Chi cago Terminal issues.

TUB TRADE SITUATION. Progress Made In Relieving iTamo Blockades Jobbing Business Is Large Bnilding Operations. Nrrm- vnmr. March 20. R. G. Dun & Co.' weekly review of trade, tomorrow will say: Only one distinctly uniavoraoie ported In the business situation, and It exists more In the "fear of what may happen than through anything that has auai ly occmr. Rmreral strikes are Is progress, but none mat seriously hampers Industry, although many con troversies are threatened ana may uiup. trade, unless agreements are speedily reached. Progress has been made In relieving traffic blockades, and deliveries are mors prompt, yet railway facilities need much extension If they am in TcMn oaee with the Nation's growth. Jobbing trade Is very large, and the advancing season stimulates re-sales In many lines. Re ports from the West are especially satisfactory. agriculturists making extensive improvement notably In the purchase of the most modern machinery. Buying of Spring and Summer merchandise Is heavy for the interior, ana mills are resuming that have long been idle because coke could not be secured. A careful canvass of building operations at the leading cities makes a fair comparison with last year, outside of Chicago, where special conditions caused exceptional activity In 1900. Returns are unanimous in disclosing a decrease compared with 1901, however, which was the banner year In this respect. High cost of ma terial and wages of labor are undoubtedly re tarding influences at the present time. Railway earnings thus far available for March show an increase of 14.6 per cent over last year and 26.1 per cent over 1001. Pros pects In the Iron- and steel Industry are etlll conspicuously encouraging. Demand for heavy-weight woolens has de creased, most new orders being for the cheaper kgrades. More cancellations of early orders are reported. Much better conditions prevail In the dress goods market, both as to staples and to fancies. New England shoe shops report Increased sales. Western Jobbers placing orders tor August and September delivery. Leather is more active, and tanners are not carrying surplus stocks. Failures this., week numbered 220 In the United States, against 209 last year, and 22 In Canada, against 31 a year ago. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK. March 20.

Perceptible Easing: In the Car Short a pre Troable. NEW YORK, March 20. Braditreet'S tomor row win say: Rieesslve moisture in the form of heavy rains and floods or of merely bad roads Is an ap- rvarent drawback to distributive trade. Over aealnst this, however, is to be placed an Im provement in jobbing trade at some leading Western centers, collections a shade batter than car shortage trouble, and increased strength in the iron and steel trades. Tnere is even some. though perhaps more apparent than real, im 1 provement In the labor situation, some strikes Commission Co. Capital and Surplus, $300,000.00 having been avoided or settled, but labor dis turbance Is still a possible unsettled feature, especially In the building trades. The next two weeks will see applied the test of demand In retail lines. Gross railway earnings for the first half of March show an aggregate gain over last year of fully 12 per cent. in prices, a feature Is the further sllrht strengthening of cotton. Cotton goods have displayed exceptional strength, though a wait ing tendency as regards hew business Is noted at first handa. uno feature In the cereal markets has been the very general easlnsr orlees. svmnathlsifl In by pork and lard, among hog products, mainly the result of Increased pressure of supplies and smaller export business, though at the decline ine-tendency of foreigners to come In Is noted. Rides are slightly weaker, while leather and finished products continue strong. Tin and cop- per. among- the metals, after quite steady ad vances, nave weakened slightly. Strength of prices is a leadlnc feature In Iron and steel at all markets, both at home and aoroad. Lead is higher oa the week, but cod- per and tin are lower.
