Receipt a Ion a the atreet continue quite lib eral, but a daily cleanup of stocks la shown, and the outlook tot the market during the Im mediate future? la most hopeful.

JOBBING PRICES IN PORTLAND First carload of new pack Columbia river canned c hi nook salmon has gone forward to the east. The Initial shipment for 1917 was made by the Barbey Fish company, which haa a canning plant in thla city. The car was sent to New York, and cons luted entirety of half pocuid flats. The aale was reported at SI .73 per d risen, the price forecast in these renorta some dai-a ago. It is not now expected that there will be any formal opening price set for canned aalmoo by Columbia river canners thla season, bat that talis will be filled out as shipped at $2.75 and halves at $1.75 per doaen. we present wholesale selling price of flits st this time la $1.85 for halves, but the higher cost of this season's pack will force aa addi tional advance. Robert 8. rarrell of Bverdlnr & Farrell. and ownera of the Pillar Bock Packing company, reports a rery small run in the lower Columbia, and that the catch In the Willamette haa also fallen off on account of the muddy condition of the water. He,as other packers, anticipate a much better run later in the season. A circular sent out by the National Cannera' association and the National Wholesale Gro cers' association, calls attention of the trade generally to the' ruling of the government -gardlng the saving of tin plate by the elimi nation of certain goods from the canning tn- ausiry. Heretofore It haa been generally understood that dried beans, hominy, sauerkraut, macca ronl and vpaghetti formed the list of dnntfs for canners, but pea have now been added to the list. It Is understood In some quarters that sauerkraut will be eliminated from the Hat, but no official word baa been received regarding this. The official circular of tas canners, whole sale grocers, and allied industries calla noon wholesalers and retailers to cancel their orders already placed In order to relieve any damage suits for nondelivery. The action Is taken be cause of the pressing need of tin plate by the government.
