SILVERSIDES RUNNING IN COLUMBIA AGAIN Better catch of steelhead salmon Is reported from the lower Columbia and local supplies are somewhat better, al t though still considerably under the , wants of the trade. For awhile acarcely any fish were be ing received from the Columbia and the .local market was supplied principally by Coon Bay. At this time no fish are coming from Coos 'but the. appearance of the flHh In the Columbia again re lieves the situation considerably. FANCY HENS SELLING EASILY AT 18 CENTS 1 Yesterday's advancs In the poultry market was principally for fancy stock and sales at 18c could be readily made toaay ror coops or nens. Ordinary stuff, however, sells from 17c to 17 Ho a pound. Oeese and ducks are firm at ths high prices formerly quoted. Dressed meats remain firm with no change in prices today. COLUMBIA SMELT RUN PUTS PRICE DOWN There In a better supply of smelt in the wholesale market and the , price dropped to 80 a pound along Front street today. Most of ths arrivals are from the lower Columbia and were caught by giU netters. This Indicates that the fish will soon reach the Cowlfts and another big run Is expected. FRONT STREET QUOTATIONS.

Independent meat dealers are making a greater hit with the trade than ever. The operations of the M. J. Gill com- any are showing a heavy Increase and is stated to be the intention ot the company to engage in the general pack ing trade after awhile. This will neces sitate the construction of a packing plant, but the company already has con siderable land in the vicinity of the stockyards and therefore is in a posi tion to build. Then too the company was the first to select the peninsula as the proper nlace for Portland's pack lag hous s. Frank L.
