baat oows, ft
Tha cateh of aalmon In tha WllUm
atta and Clackamaa rivers la vary lib
. oral and tha fresh flah markets here
v ara being well supplied. In fact, tht
. " offerings are ao llbersr at this time
'that lower river cannera ara tryinr to
buy.
' ! While there la a rather amall run of
1 chlnooks in tha lower river, fisherman
on the upper Colombia ara reporting,
ry good hauls. In tha vicinity of
Tha Dallea there Is an unusually heavy
-T'caion or MuenarKs or aockeves, ror tms
time of tha year. Soma of them have
been sent to tha fresh flah trade pf
tms city.
... , Canning operations along tha lower
uoiumuia ara nominal owing to me
. light offering. The tide continues
against a big catch but fishermen re
. port that tha outlook U for a smart
Improvement later.
Thecanned aalmon market continues
to reflect tha famished state of the
trade and It la now almost certain that
pound talis end flata will open at an
advanca of 10c over laat season, while
: halves will aell a nickel hlsher.
Regarding the aalmon altuatton at
Liverpool, Anderson A. Colt man of that
city write under recent date:
"Still a fair volume of trade continues
, in Alaska reda, values for which are
; unchanged at 25a 8 d to 26a d, spot
and afloat. Exoept that business Is be
ing done, there la nothing specially
new to mention. British Columbia
Sockeye. There ia a big Inquiry on for
. one pound rials, and values are ntgner.
Nothing new ta half pound flata or
one pound talla. Values nominally are:
Half pound flata, 88a ta, to $Rs 6d; one
pound flats, 80s. to 10s sd; one pound
- . tails, 27s d toYSs &"
The London salmon market la thus
reviewed by the London Grocers' Oa-
Jiette under date of April 16:
, "Tha aalmon market in common with
1 the market for oanned goods generally,
has ben pervaded by a holiday feeling
..this weea, put tne tone is very rirro
'both for British Columbia and Alaska."
