Newspaper Page Text12 'w THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY - EVENING, JULY- 3, 1908. WORLD'S MARKETS TODAY GREATEST RUN SALMON SHOWN :Two Years' Record ' Broken in Columbia at This Time. Being: The run and pack of salmon along ,, the- Columbia river is now the greatest , In two years. Latent mail advices from 'the lower river slate that the run Is . r ' tTreaMns; everv (lav, until at this time the volume of 'arrivals at the various " feunriea and coid storage plants Is keeping all Institutions busy. Especially increased has been the run of ehlnookg during the past few days. . tor awhile it was feared tfipt this famous . fish would not put-in an appearance i In any great numbers this senon but this proved mistaken thought. The fact that the run of bluebacks is the great est In four yeara had added to the suc cess of the chlnnok run, for it ia a cer tainty that whenever the river has large supplies of blueback salmon there will about the same time be quite a heavy run 01 chlnooks. ' The pack of, bluebacks to date Is the heaviest In many seasons and from present appearance more records In this respect "will be broken before the pres ent season comes to an end. With the .er nrniinina quite rapidly the run 'of chlnooks will likewise increase and Bono packers are tow of the opinion that instead of showing a serious de crease In the pack aa compared with previous years, the chinook output will show an actual increase. ' All (tears Catching- Salmon. The reports from both the upper and lower Columbia say that all sorts of gears are catching heavy supplies. While the gilnets are securing much the larger supply or tne nsn, as is us ' "ual. the seines and traps are doing well Krom the upper river the report comes that the .wheels are grinding out more fish than had been expected. One of the special features of this year's salmon operations is the greater pack than usual of ateelheads. While the steelhead salmon 18 not so well known among the canned salmon trade as the chlnooks and other varieties, it Is stated to be fully as good as the best.-, The reason for the larger pack than usual of steelhead salmon was the reat scarcity of other varieties earlier In the season. Just now the cold stor ae operators are inking most of the , steelheads and the only catiners who 'are still packing them In tins are those . who do not operate freezers of their own. In a freezing way the merits .of the steelhead are too well known to ineed comment . . Crab Season Comes to An End. . In the state of Washington the crab ...season has come to an, end, July 1 start Ing the closed period. As most of the : crabs used In this market and in Call-1 foruia come from Washington streams . ' there is now a shortage in local bud- ?lies( and prices, while no higher, are irmer. One or two dealers who had such large supplies a few weeks ago that they scarcely knew what to do with them, put them into storage and the- result Is they now have stocks for sale while the general trade is without them. Fine quality, too. Cattle Shortage Affects Hides There Is much Interest here mnniitf the hide trade regarding the Incre.i.se In activity In the eastern market.
