CHEAPER THAN MEAT
Canned Salmon Most Econom
ical Food on Market.
BULLETIN GIVES REASQMS
Ixnv Price of Ilsh Due to Abundance
and Labor-Saving Machines War
ranted by Size or Pack Com
parison With Other Articles.
One of the cheapest foods on the
American market today la canned
ealmon. It is cheaper than meats, and
in a bulletin recently issued the Bu
reau of Fisheries of the Department of
Commerce tells the reason why.
One pound of canned red salmon of
the beet quality will cost not over 16
cents. The same quantity of bone,
musaie, blood and brain building ma
terial and body fuel in other foods
would cost: Bteak, 33 cents; mutton,
32 cents; chicken, 25 cents: ham, 14
cents; eggs, 30 cents; pink salmon,
12 H cents.
AH species of the Pacific Coast
salmon are canned, all are highly nu
tritious, and, so far as the canned
y products are concerned, they differ
from one another principally in the
oolor and relative firmness of the flesh
and the proportions of fat. The Chi
nook has an excellent flavor and gen
erally red flesh; the sockeye also has
a. good flavor and is always red
fleshed; the coho has a good flavor,
" but is paler in color; the humpback, or
pink salmon, is still paler and its flesh
softer; the chum salmon is quite pale,
oft when canned and its flavor is in
ferior to any of the others.
The -best grades of canned salmon
are richer than meats in body-building
materials and contain about the
name amount of fats. Pink salmon,
which is a cheaper grade, is better
than meats for making flesh and bone,
but has less fat. Either is as digesti
ble as the best sirloin steak, there is
no waste and nothing has to be thrown
away except the can.
Meats may be inspected, but they
are handled by many persons after in
spection and are exposed in the market
places. Canned salmon is sealed
against contamination and in prepara
tion is practically untouched by hand.
The cheapness of salmon is due to
their abundance and the use of the
labor-saving machines warranted by
the size of the pack. In 1913 there
were canned on the Pacific Coast the
equivalent of 367,045,456 one-pound
cans, valued at 338,563.891. This would
supply about four pounds of salmon to
every man, woman and child in the
United States, and if the cans were
placed end -to end they would encircle
the earth, with enough to spare to
stretch from New York to Portland.
To supply the raw material for this
enormous pack requires over 100,000,
000 fish, weighing from three to 25
pounds or more each and some of them
measuring upward of five feet in
length. Were it not that these fish
run into all the important streams
streams on the Pacifio Coast and are
almost incredibly abundant in many
rivers this great industry could not
have been developed or been main
tained. The drain on Nature's bounty
has been so great, however, that it has
been necessary to sustain ruiiB by arti
ficial means. The Bureau of Fisheries
conducts salmon culture on an exten
sive scale, operating 24 hatcheries and
branch stations, from which 180,000,000
young fish will be liberated this year.
Oregon, Washington and California
also operate state hatcheries.
WHEAT IS BOUGHT AT LOWER 1'KICES
Demand Is Small and Scattered Lota Are
Being Offered for Sale.
There was very little business pass
ing in the wheat market. Club wheat,
it was said, could be bought at 90
cents, and there has been some trading
in blueetem at 95 cents. California
buyers are taking" what is offered them,
but they are not keen purchasers. It
is likely that shipments to the south
in May will be fully as large as 'in
April. But for the fact that roost of
the mills ceased to buy a month ago,
etocks in the Northwest now would be
entirely exhausted.
There is apparently nothing the mat
ter with the wheat market, but as the
season is getting late the dealers and
other holders of scattered lots think
it is time to clean up, and as the de
mand is email the few offerings can
be bought at gradually declining prices.
Oats were quiet and the local mar
ket was about steady, but in the
Palouse the tone was weaker. Barley
dealers on the Sound quoted feed at
$20.50, the lowest price of the season.
Ixcally the demand wae nominal.
Prices in the north are getting down
. to the California basis. May barley
sold on the San Francisco exchange
yesterday under the dollar mark.

by the Merchants' Exchange as fol

FIRTHKB BALKS SPOT OREGON HOPS
ttalem Dealers Report . Business at 13 Cents.
lna;Uh Imports.
There were reports of further busi
ness in spot hops on the Salem market
at 15 cents, but the details were not
made public No new trading in futures
was announced.
The quantity of hops added to Great
Britain's supply during the month of
March last was surprisingly small. Im
ports were 3590 cwts, but exports for
the same month were 3400 cwts., so that
the net result was an addition of only
lsl cwts. For the months of Septem
ber to March last, both inclusive, im
ports less exports were 200,500 cwts..
as against 215, 860 cwts. for the corre
sponding period one year ago, and 74.
789 two years ago. The above men
tioned 200,509 cwts added to the 1913
English crop of 255,641 cwts would
give Great Britain a supply on March
31. last, exclusive of the reserve stocks
from former years, of 456,150 cwts., or
143,850 cwts., equivalent to about 87,
010 American bales, less than her est!
mated annual requirements. The quan
tity imported by Great Britain from
the United States during the months of
September to March, last, both inclu
sive, was 161,683 cwts., equivalent to
' about 97,900 American bales.
FOl'B CARS STRAWBERRIES RECEIVED
Banner Variety la Too Large for Ordinary
hlifl Backets.
Four cars of California strawberries
were on the market yesterday, and as
the weather was favorable, there was
a big demartd. A straight car of Ban
ner berries was received from Ala
meda County. They were packed ,in
quarts and cleaned up quickly at $2 a
orate. These were the largest and best
California berries that have been seen
this seuson, and approaah in quality
the famous Gold Dollars that are pro
duced in the Clackamas section, and
which will beVtin arriving the latter
part of the coming week. The car of
Fresno berries was also of good grade
and sold at $1.30 to $1.75 a crate. Flor
ins ranged in price from $1 to $1.50.
A car of Florida grapefruit and two
cars of oranges were received. The
orange market Is firm and will be
higher in the coming week. Navels
"are winding up in most sections.
Several cars of vegetables were due
yesterday, but were delayed and will
be on hand today, including two cars
each of lettuce, cabbage and mixed veg
etables. Two cars of Bermuda onions
will arrive Monday.
A. straight car of new California po
tatoes is due Monday. Owing to the
rigid Inspection in the northern mar
ket of California potatoes, growers
who have good stock have raised their
prices. High prices will rule through
out the season on acceptable stock.
This is another instance where inspec
tion osts the consumer more money.
In this case, however, inspection is ab
solutely necessary.
Flour Sales in Manchuria Decrease.
United States Consul Edward L. Ne
ville, of Antung, South Manchuria, re
ports that in his district imports of
foreign flour, which is American, de
creased from 15,353,883 pounds in 1913
to 9,296,968 pounds in 1913, a loss of
6,056,915 pounds, while Chinese flour
shows an advance from 18,536,537
pounds to 24.937,243 pounds in the same
period, an increase of 6,401,706 pounds,
or slightly more than the decrease in
American flour.
During the greater part of 1913. as
compared with 1912, exchange rates
were uniavorable to the purchase of
foreign flour. Consequently the Amer
ican product decreased, while there was
a corresponding Increase in the impor
tation of flour from the Bhanghai mills,
A considerable quantity from mills at
Tlehling, north of Mukden, is also en
that market.
Butter Market In Healthy Shape.
The butter market is in a healthy
condition' and there is no likelihood of
a change in pcice in the near future.
The make is increasing, but there is
no excess. Cheese Is weak with a
downward tendency.
The egg market closed firm. A
straight car was shipped to British' Co
lumbia and local speculators bought
freely on the basis of 19 cents, case
taunt. Candlers report a larger
shrinkage.
Poultry cleaned up fairly well and
the market was quoted firm. Dressed
pork was steady and veal was weak.
Bank Clearings.
The bank clearings of the Northwestern
cities yesterday were as follows:

SALES FOR PROFITS
Realizing Gives Stock Market
Downward Tendency.
AVERAGE LOSSES SMALL
Strong Inaction Takes Cp Offerings
In Expectation of Further Up
turn Gold Engaged for
Shipment to Paris.
NEW YORK, May 2. A slow decline
in stocks today took off the edse of
the week's advance. The movement
Was downward from first to last, but
there was no real weakness and in a
majority of cases losses wers small.
Selling; today was principally realising;
On speculative profits, and there were
aggressive operations oil the bear Side.
Offerings Were accepted readily at con
cessions, and It was evident that a
strong; faction was taking- on stocks in
the expectation of a further upturn.
The gold export movement began to
day with the engagement of $1,000,000
for Paris.
The bank . statement was a disap
pointment, although it showed an
actual cash gain of mora than $5,000,000
and a still larger increase in surplus. A
cash gain of 120,000,000 had been pre
dicted. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales
1,300,000, United States 2a declined K
and Panama xs H on call on the week.
The hopes of a settlement of the
Mexican problem, held out by the good
offices tendered by the three South
American Republics, caused a complete
reversal of the form of speculation in
stocks. This was supplemented in the
course of the week by the ftrowinsr ease
of money, the splendid promise for the
country's crops and increasing con
fidence that the Interstate Commerce
Commission would sanction an advance
in freight rates. The improvement in
London, owing to the likelihood of an
agreement on the home rule question,
also benefited this market.
Resumption of railroad buying? would
nil up tne principal hiatus in the pres
ent demand for steel. Industrial stocks
therefore, shared in the benefit from
thi expected relief to railroads through
niarner rates. This tendencv offset the
influence of the poor showing of the
unitea states steel earnings for the
nrst quarter of the year.
The reserve still maintained bv
capital presents difficulties for corpora.
tions of Inferior credit with maturing
obligations, a number of which were
actualy weak in the market. Financing
ot tnese, nowever, made progress.

The Northern Pacifio has completed
plans for immediate extension of a
branch north of Mandan, N. 13. The
line was started last Fall and some
grading was done, but activity was
suspended through the Winter.
The recent death of Frederick "W.
Weyerhaeuser, the lumber king, has
put a check upon the plans of the Salt
Lake route to build an extension from
Modena to the Kaihab National forest
and the Grand Canyon. The United
States Government had advertised
large quantities of timber for sale, and
it was Understood that the late Mr.
Weyerhaeuser had been negotiating
with the Union Pacific for construction
of the line. It is predicted that the
Salt Lake route soon, will build a line
to the Grand Canyon in an effort to
obtain a sharesof the business on which
tha Santa Fe now has a monopoly.
