VALUE RUNS IN MILLIONS, Effect of War la Felt by Cold-Stor age Men In Disponing of Stock nd Cannes Slow Market. ' Vmst Vear Kecord Pawed. ASTORIA! Aug.":.MspeciaL) "Tha best In years." Is tha way all connected with the salmon fisheries of the Colum bia River describe -the season closing August 15. It wag not a record-breaker by any means, for the time waa when the csnnefles on the Columbia River packed (00.000 full, cases of salmon. almost double the" amount put up this year, but that is another story- , The season, however, haa been most profitable, exceot tor the cold storage men and tho glllncctera who operate at the. mouth of tna river close to the bar. The 'uprlver wheelmen are also a little disappointed, the low water of the last few. weeks materially curtau Ina; the otch there. Taken aa a whole the pack of Spring salmon la approximately 2S per cent ahead of the amount put up last year, the - canned pack being considerably better and the pickled or cold storage dragging somewhat. Total Pack Eatlmate 380,000. v The total canned pack for the season Is slightly more than 3S9.000full cases of 48 pounds each, and is about 110,000 cases In excess of last year. The cold storage output for the season proximate S10 tierces.' or about 1200 tierces less than a year, ago. The steel head run waa light and practically none of them lias been f rosen.-. . The war. however, has so disrupted the market for the-plakled or cold storsge product by -shutting off the principal market, Germany, that the greater portion of these large salmon went into cans. Two of the cold-storage plants have not been In operation this year, their fish going direct to the canneries and only one plant on the river has frosen a notable quantity of steelhearis. Beginning in Juljv the salmon en tering the river averaged smaller until the proportion between large and small fish was about halt and half, and that is the way they have continued since. War t aaaea Slump la Market. -Aa a direct result ot the continuation of the war in Europe, the cold-atorage men are having considerable difficulty in disposing of their packs and the market Is slow. On the other hand the demand for the canned product is good and bids fair to be much stronger in the Immediate future. To obtain accurate figures on the pack is practically impossible for the double reason that packer are adverse to giving out statistics, and so great a Dortion of the pack Is put up in half caaea of II pounds each. A conserva tive estimate place the canned pack at STt.SOO rases aa they run, or ap proximately 20.140 full cases. As 20 tons of raw fish are required fur each 1000 cases, this pack repre sents ii. 340.000 rounds of raw salmon, The cold storage or pickled output com prises 210 tierces, each containing 800 pounds of cured fish, or 1100 pounds of raw salmon, a total of 3.476.000 pounds. At the ruling prices paia. mis means that the sum or ii.hj.uto u been paid to the gillnetters. trappers and others for raw fish this season. Figuring the wholesale prices at f a full case for canned salmon and 16 cents a pound for pickled fish, the cured product from the Columbia Itiver fisheries during the season now com ing to a close is worth In the markets of the world the enormous sum of S3,- 617, e7.
