LIGHT ALASKA PAGK
Several Northern Canneries
Will Not Open This Season.
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.

Egg receipts are large, with practically no
local demand and very" light shipments. The
accumulation is growing, some of the commis
sion houses having as many as S00 cases on
hand. There Is no prospect of moving this
constantly Increasing .stock until the market
settles down to what may be 'considered the
bottom. "What this figure will be is a ques
tion, but the trade believes It will bo about 2c
below the present quotation. Testerdays price
was 14H15c, with more or less shading. Re
ceipts of poultry equal the demand, and steady
quotations are the result. There is again a
shortage of creamery butter.jpwlng to the with
drawing of a San Francisco steamer for one
trip.

BABJT LOSSES REGAINED.
Wheat Lower at Opening: on Large
Argentine Shipments.
CHICAGO, March 20. 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.

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. Colorado a Rnnth.m

around. Other citrus fruits are quiet ana un
changed. Choice eating apples are In fair de
mand and steady, with arrivals -small. Cold

dant 6tocks on hand. Best Oregon onions are
selling at S065c but the demand Is limited.
Asparagus Is In larger supply and weaker for
lower grades. Rhubarb is In heavy supply and
lower, but the prospective shipping demand
may steady prices. Bay peas are more plenti

firmer, with an advance In young stock. A

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.
