It has been practically decided by sal mon packers that no regular opening values will be named by them this year. Thin fully confirms the forecasts made . by this paper recently..,..- The catch of ealmon, while greater by for. than a year ago, Is nevertheless , smaller than the first days of the sea son gave promise. . " Only , the gillnetters are ' showing , a gooa nam ana tnese interests are taming out more fish than they have -for this period In. many years. This, however, '. represents only a small per cent of the total catch usually shown -along the Columbia for the traps and wheels usu- v ally take the larger per cent of the, fish. ; Vaokers are Conservative. A more conservative : set of business Interests could scarcely be found than the packers of salmon along the Colum bia river. The failure of these -inter - ests to open the price tot canned goods Is one of the results. " Tor Several years packers of inferior fish have obtained .higher values for their salmon than J nave tne canners or the Koyat Chinook of the Columbia -v . - Bo far as-known only two cars of new "catch salmon have been sold this season, these being at an advance of 10c per cosen over tne rigures or a year ago. This advance represents merely the ad vanced cost Of the fish to the canners. At the start of the season the fishermen raised their prices-of a year ago by a naii cent per pouna. ..Local Cabbage 'Is Coming. ' Front street trade - is saying a glad .1:-farewell ' to California cabbage. "for the season because suDDlies are now com- Ing from local points and will soon be 'in shape to take caro of all tne trade here.-, California cabbage seldom gives satisfaction in this market and there fore the-trade Is glad that the better quality will soon be onenng ireeiy, ' Strawberries Are Firm I Xocal .. strawberries . were Vlrm this morning and 'sales were made as high B1 $3.25 a' crate.

For awhile the shortage was felt only in the Pacific northwest because of the numer ous withdrawals for Alaska but recently there has been a spirited rise in the Cal ifornia markets. t ; . When the price quoted at Baa Fran cisco by the butter board Is 28csa pound, this is not really the selling value, for if buyers want the best quality they are forced to pay from 1 Ho to to a pound more - than the butter board quotes. Therefore California prices are really higher than at Portland. E OF PRODUCE AT SAN FRANCISCO (United Prai teased tVtre.t " " San Francisco, May 21.

Louts Modern Miller savs in its weekly crop summary: "Most reports about the winter wheat crop are favor able. Good rains have improved pros pects through all the wheat 'growing states, but there are thin stands and such irregular growth, Hessian fly is still in Illinois and south Indiana and parts of Missouri, "and Impairment of condition through that section is noted. In Illinois wheat is renorted to be fall ing down because of fly weakening the plant Cold weatter appears to have eliminated the chinch bugs. Texas re ports heavy rain and hail storm, and apprehensions of material damage there for what is in the blooming period." The bears had their fighting clothes on today and made good headway for the first time this week without being forced to cover before the session .came to an end. There was a decided selling flurry at the opening which, to many looked as if it was more than a coinci dence, so many bear leaders forcing the market at the same moment. Break In prices caused stop loss sellings Weak cables, decidedly bearish forftlgn situa tion In every quartert further rains over much of the .winter and spring wheat locality with promise of rising tem peratures and showers next 38 hours all encouraged bear operations. , There was but one side "to. the 1 corn market for the day. as the conditions which have been bearish a H week be. came even more so during toaay s ses sion. Receiving houses are ; getting much larger country offerings of corn. Not only was the weather nearly perfect over the corn states this morning, but the forecast of showers and rising tem peratures is all that corn raisers could expect Cash prices were to o low er. Even at the decline, shipping sales were unimportant. There was only moderate action in oats prices for the day. Shipping busi ness was limited to yo.uuu DusnaiB. vra.ia trade is influenced by the action In corn and by the weather for the new crop. . There . is - a good, iioerai supply 01 hogs coming forward to packing points and the character of the receipts here showing high average weight Indicates that feeling has been continued. Just as long as it was profitable. There are those who think that the present run will be at the expense of the usual June supply, but that Is borrowing trouble.
