Salmdn Statistics. Dickinson & Co's Liverpool and Glasgow circular for lust Incum ber, under the salmon head shvs: S -There j lws this year to he faced a total Pacific p-put of mliiit.ii,; ..u.-i..r-1.. nrlimo nd of Tru-itr. l.VM - vauuusij usiuimivu at. iium uuuj GOO to 700,000 cases, being, at the j i .. . .! .... i nri nru .. .-..' lowest fsuiiiniir, jtr,vwi . ast: uuti that of last year, and constituting the largest pack yet accomplished. It is due to a "remind increase of canning t nil iinjorUiit mints, but principally to that of the Co lumbia river, which heads the list with over half :t million cases. Competent autliorities place the lappage of stock of 1S9 pack on hand in Europi when first parcel of 1SS0 arrived, its not under 50,000 cases, whilst that in Ameri ca may be moderately computed at 20.000 cases. Taking tlicse figures in connection with the pack gives t!x astounding supply of three quarters of a million cases for Ukj twelve mom Its. Consider ing thete facts it may seem sur jwisflig that holders have combined to demand higher pi ices rather titan let the good go into con sumption at present obtainable rates. With the aid of capitalists and cheap money they may suc ceed in their demands, but we fear thut the result will be a limitation of cunsumpt, and an accumula tion of stock which must ulti mately lead to sacrifice and slaughter, a prospect tending to prevent that confidence neces sary to free purchase and dis tribution. As remarked lately by one of the leading canned Goods merchants of Liverpool 'Whilst four months fishing must provide for twelve months con sumption, it is needful that the capitalist should step in and ensure a degree of steadiness in prices, but when he firmly resists the oirers of those, i. e., the merchants, who better understand the wants ol the grocers, and altogether ignores the fact that consumers actually fix prices, then his actions are mischievous.' Sahnei: has too often been the bull ! speculators and large CJiimert-, u it would be in the iuteiets of the trade generally' were juices xxther sup ported when likely to go l-o.v production cost, but fiuriy ri'iiinn eralivf prices nevert:cies are -pied. This would free it fn:n :he "xw&mvc fiuelu.: lions which hate hitherto characterized it. In cal fuSitting the prospcis of salmon, i:id of any pr.b:.bie easing of the maiket, the follow iii considera tions have to be taken ito account. The fact that whilst the United States home demand is greater, 50,000 cases should be ample to meet it and the increase of ship ments to the colonies. This leaves a surplus of 100,000 over that of last year for the European markets, or say exactly the amount that San Francisco authorities admit could be spared from stock on the coast, which only awaits a reduc tion in freights" for shipment. Reports of present prices and firmness will induce preparations for a heavy up-put in 1SS1, and as canning commences in April several mouths before European summer consumption is at its greatest then forward quotations ma' considerably affect the market, and even show a possi bility of laying down overland 1SS1 pack in- May-June. The most important considerations, however, are the possibility of the consumption of the article being reduced by the higher prices presently asked over what the public have b-en paying, and the probability that it is gradually lessened from the competition of the greater number of articles of preserved goods now in the mar ket than hitherto, and the continu ously lower prices they are offered at. There being now a greater uniformity of quality of the various packs, we omit details of their up-puts. Twine fr nets is a scarce article here this year, but there are car loads of it on the way from the. Atlantic slope, along side tracks obstructed by time goods trains. - Constable E. Pi. Hill, of East Portland, was in the city on Sunday and arrested a man named W. H. Mong, for embezzlement of two hnr dred dollars.

Cutter old Bourbon, and the best of wines, liquors, and San Francisco beer call at the Gem opposite the bell tower, and sue Campbell. Since the Chinese started to brew "cheap San Francisco beer" there is little or no demand for that article any more. Call for the Columbia brewery beer, if you want something good. When you want a dish of nice Eastern Oysters done up a la mode, or a good stoak, or a fragrant cup of coffee, call at Frank Fabres on the roadway, and he will accommodate you. Open at all hours. Frank Faber lias removed in to Dr. Kinsey's building on Water street On the road to the steamer dock from down town, before break last, it will now be handy to drop in and get a cup of coffee. John Rogers has just received at the Central market a large invoice of coal oil, assorteds brand, and for sale at reduced rates. lie also keeps a general assortment of groceries, liq uors, tobacco, cigars, fruits and vege tables of best quality, which he offers at small profit tor cash. By a recent postal decision men can actually make money by getting their bills and statements of accounts printed. Statements of accounts and bills of sale when made out on paper having printed headings, can be sent by mail for one cent,.if the envelope is left unsealed; whereas, if it is made out on unprinted paper, it will cost three cents. Thus by patronizing The Astokiax two cents can be saved on every bill or stitement that is sent out through the mail. Coloma, Mich., Nov. 4, 1880. Dr. B. J.
