LIKELY TO ADVANCE
Higher Prices on Chinook Sal
mon Are Predicted.
VIEWS OF LARGE HANDLER
leiand for Colombia River" Fish
During Past Four Years Has
Exceeded the Supply Con
ditions in Hop Trade.
A sharp decline in the opening prices of
Columbia River canned salmon 1 predicted
by M. W. Hourk. a large Kfr Tork handler
of coa?t product, who recently paid a visit
to this auction t the country where he
made a careful atudy of the situation and
Investigated the prospects of 'the coming
pa k. In an interview. Mr. Houik said of
the general aalmon aituation:
"I would not be surprised If red Alaska,
salmon of 1W7 packing; should open at $1.10
t. o. b. There la no atock to apeak of ou
the Coast, the entire holdings there pos
sibly footing up 150,000 cases. The cost of
packing Alaska. salmon thla year will be
heavily increased hy the advance in all
packing material and the higher wages for
labor.
"So far as Chinook salmon Is concerned
the opening price on the coming pack will
certainly be 3c to 10c higher on half-pounds,
and at least 15c to 20o higher on one-pound
tails and flats. One important reason for
this will be found in the greater cost of
raw fish. Heretofore the cold-storage people
have made 25 pounds the minimum weight
of fish in making their purchase! of raw
stock, but this season. In order to get
acarer to meeting' the demands made upon
them by the growing consumption, they
have reduced the minimum weight per fish
to 20 pounds, and the .resulting com pet i
tlon between them and the packers means
that the latter will have to pay more money
for their raw material.
"The demand fir Columbia River salmon
during the past four years has exceeded the
supply, and there Is no probability that tne
balance will be restored this year."
STEADY DEMAND TN HOP MARKET.
P. R. O. Horn Beady Buyer of Oregon at
'ew York.
. A fair amount of general inquiry, is re
ported in the hon market and a number of
deals were under way yesterday, "but no
larae sales were reported.
Mall advices from New York City aaid
that spot Oregon hops were closely cleaned
up with as high as 14c paid. P. H- G. Horst
was the buyer and wast bidding for further
lots.
' The situation - In London was thus o
scribed in th latest weekly . circular of
W. H. & H. Le May: "A few brewers,
tempted by the low prices English hops are
now offering at, have covered their require
ments for a time, and never before nav
they been able to buy at prices now cur
rent after so small a crop as waa picked
last season. Growers are most disheartened
at the prospect and have little courage left
to try much for another crop."
Among the visitors In the local hop. trade
yesterday were A. J. Luce, of Oneida, N, T.
and Simon Vhlmann. of New Tork City. Mr.
l,uc Is a veteran hopman, who for years
operated in Oregon hops, but has now re
tired from business. He is here on a pleas
ure trip. Mr. Vhlmann is a member of th
firm of S. A. F. Vhlmann and Is making his
annual tour of the country.
KGOS HAVE BECOME SCARCK.
Other Markets Invade Producing Sections
and Supply Falls Off.
Very few eggs were received on. Front
street yesterday, and as the demand waa
good, price were again advanced. Extensiv
huvlna- in the country by northern houses Is
held responsible for the light arrivals here.
The butter situation Is causing much
anxiety on the part of the retail trade,
Neither at the 'creameries nor on Front
street can their wants be fully supplied and
there is no prospect of bringing In outside
butter to relieve the situation. The butter
makers think the supply will soon be In
creased nd for that reason have made no
change In prices.
Bananas Not In Best Condition,
Four cars of bananas arrived yesterday I
only fair condition and one chilled car that
was rejected by the Tacoma consignee was
sold here by the railroad company. Two
cars of oranges arrived and another is du
today. Choice oranges are selling readily at
$2.73 3.
Cabbage was scarce on the street, but tw
cars are on the way and should arrive any
time. Other truck was in but limited sup
ply and the demand was very strong.
Potato Market Looking Better,
Fairly satisfactory conditions are again
prevailing In the potato market. The San
Francisco situation has Improved and fancy
stock, which t In light "upply. is firmer
there. Choice potatoes hold their own, ow
ing to less pressure from the Bast. Dealers
do not look for any marked advance, as
much higher prices would only bring more
Eastern offerings. A few cars of Eastern
Washington potatoes have been bought by a
local shlppsr for California account.

MARKET
IS
Excitement in Wall Street Has
Abated.
BUT PRICES STILL WEAK
Part of the Loss Due to Reselling to
Take Profits Traffic Reports'
Show Xo Trace of Reac- .
tionary Tendency.
NKW YORK. March IS. -There M a
marked abatement of excitement In the deal
ings In stock today from the enormous trans
actions and wild prices of last week. The
drop in the opening dealings here was wider
than anticipated and had the effect of re
viving some of the excitement which pre
vailed last week. But It appeared that the
wilder fluctuations were largely due to the
exchanging of operations of a professional
element which had become habituated to tree
action by last week's experience.- Effective
support appeared In the market and the pro
ceedings then were much quieter and more
orderly, although the renewed weakness of
the later market made tire lowest prices of
the day.
The market continued to ahow the normal
effecta following such conditions as those of last
week. That is. it showed the lack of the large
demand from shorts which waa squeezed Into
covering in Saturday's market and felt the
effects of reselling to take profit by those
who secured stocks in Thursday's slump or
who had bought on Friday merely for the
ouroose of supporting prices and averting
what threatened to become a disaster to the
market.
The monev markets showed the effect of
the passing of the March 15 settlements) The
Bank of England, however, had to aovance
its' bid again to secure the supply of gold in
the Ixradon market. Railroad traffic reports
offered no trace of reactionary tendency in
business, which the stock market slump has
Increased the watchfulness for. The last
prices showed substantial losses from Sat
urday's closing level.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, 82.610.000. United States bonds were
