Still the Business Is Not Kntirely Satls . faetory Steelheads Are Scarce. Astoria, Or., Oct. 9. The run of fish during the past few days has been fairly good, but the 'pack of the combine is not a true index of the Columbia river run, as it receives about five tons a day from Shoalwater bay, and packs them at one of the canneries here. The price for sh i-which are now under stood to be silversides is 2 cents per pound. Steelheads , are . very scarce, but command 5 cents, or even 10 cents if they could be secured in carload lots. All fish buyers have had a practical combination on. the price of fish until today. C. Alter raised the price to 2 cents, and the - Trescott Packing Com pany instructed . its buyers to pay the same price. The only cannery that is now paying 2 cents is Warren's, at Cathhunet.

The Oregon Industrial Exposition, which is now in full blast at Portland, is the most successful ' enterprise Of its kind ever held in the Northwest." Everything about it is on a granc scale, as well it may be, for no ex pense has been spared to make every thing connected ' with it , first-class, in every respect. ; To accomplish this re sult it was necessary to invest $12,000 as a starter, , and this amount .was quickly forthcoming. The enterprising business men of Portland went down into their pockets and produced the cash, for they recognize the fact that the fair is a great object-lesson, an educator, and instructor an enterprU. that benefits the entire Northwest. ' The products of every section of the Northwest are freely given place in the exposition at Portland, and the mines, farms, fields, factories, forests and fish eries all make a grand showing, and there are grains and grasses that any part of the world may be well proud of. Colonel H. C. Dosch, Col. R. C. Judson and Louis M. Spie-1 have collected to gether and have on exhibition thou sands of specimens of grains and grasses and fruits and vegetables raised in the Northwest, all of which make a splen did showing for this rich region. - Among the many things seen at the exposition in Portland may be men tioned the mining exhibit.

The- immense . exposition building at Portland has been vastly improved in every part of its interior, and is gay with flags and bunting,' and at night presents a scene" of splendor rarely equalled.

Admiral Dewey is a brave and noble man, and for the extraordinary service he has rendered his country no honor that can be shown him in return is too great.

Bradstreeta savfl: Didtribntive trade. while smaller at some markets, is still of encouraging volume, industry is ac tive, railway earnings heavy, prices still tend upward and . bank clearings increase, while failures lessen. Fall festivals and other celebrations at sev eral cities have had an appreciable effect upon retail trade, and proved a stimulating factor in wholesale lines. Industrial activity is widespread, and strikes are fewer and less costly than in most years. Though lessened by holidays, bank clearings, swelled partly by heavy October disbursements and partly by general business expanding, tend to enlarge, as the season advances. - Business failures are apparently at a minimum, and liabilities are certain ly less costly than for many years past. Prices as a whole manifest aggressive strength. Farm products are especial ly prominent in this direction, the South's greatest staple, cotton, owing to short crop, advancing, and, owing to active speculation leading in extent nf oA.in with an ad ra Ti rtt tiaatIv a cent for the week, of nearly 2 cents as compared with a year ago and of quite 2 cents as compared with the low water price touched in the season of 1898-9.
