On the Sacramento river the salmon run is just sufiicient to admit of packers keeping their doors opon, though all claim to be losing money. Sacramento salmon, river packed, are in strong hands, hurim been pur chased by two firms, ami are being held for full figures, although small lots are changing hands. There is quite a movement in these goods, but we doubt if it represents actual sales at the figures mentioned. Wo are rather of the opinion that they are being shipped to the various distri buting centers for a future market Prices show no change from previous quotations. California Grow a)td Canncr.

TEE SALMON SEASON OP 1883 But thirteen days of the present fishing season remain, and there is not tho remotest probability that in tho minds of any ono of the thirty-eight canners exists any desire to fish be yond the limit prescribed. Indeed, it is a question what the inducement is to can now, except it be the sudden influx and correspondingly low price. Many of the canneries contomplate closing, and it would seem as though nothing but tho force of habit kept them running this week. It is proba ble that the close of the present week will see ihe end of the season as far as canning is concerned. The present season has been most singular in every respect. Starting with an unprecedented amount of gear, with a most unfavorable market, an inability to effect satisfactory sales, and a general belief in a short catch, the canneries havo throughout been in a most unsatisfactory posi tion. Tho price of fish was set at tho start at a figure considerably in ad vance of tho price paid last season. Tins had the effect of bringing up suf ficient fishermen from the Sacramento to catch during May and Juno all that came into the river; during these months an attempt was made more than once to lower the prices, those who had their all in the business being unable to see how the high price of the raw material and the low price of the marketable article left any margin for profit. From seventy-five cents to one dollar w:is paid for fish, and all that has been packed up to recent ly, cost, on an average, ninety cents a fish. Up to June loth it was believed by many that the pack would not exceed 400,000 cases: probably it would bo just as well, taking everything into consideration, had events made good the prophecy. But the increased number of canneries and the extraor dinary diligence manifested in catch ing the fish ran the figures up rapidly, so that on the 1st of this month, there was 3-10,500 cases reckoned as being put up; the pack for the season of '82, to same date being reckotied at 292,- 912. From the way the salmon have been coming in since the 1st inst., more especially during the last week, it is evident that the pack will be fully up to last season's figures; should tho canneries all run to their full capacity to the 1st of August, this seasons pack will exceed that of 'S2. It is not their intention. Tho gen eral idea seems to be to fill all the cans on hand, or at least to use up all the tin plate in stock. Several of the canners have refused iish this week, except to a certain limit. Other, who are short of cans, take a specified number, and when they are disposed of spend the remainder of the day in making cans. Tho extraordinary run of this month has not been equaled in size and numbers since 1879. It has been no uncommon thing for fishermen to bring in a hundred to the boat, and of course, the price at once fell. Since Monday, fish have boon selling at figures far below what would have been looked upon as a fair price twenty days ago. Thirty cents, and from that to fifty, has been the figure, and on yesterday's steamerwent alargo crowd of fishermen who refused to catch t those prices. The state of affair is very unsatis factory. A man who has invested a arge amount of capital, and who has been tilling nis cans with ninety cent usii nil the season, can not fuel very complacent over matters when they come swarming in now m such num bers as to exceed the capacity of tho canneries to dispose of them, and at tho same time the question in his mind whether it is best to keep on even on thirty cent fish, or to knock off alto gether, and quit for the season. Wc do not wliolly agreo in tne opinion that the knowledge that thero is an unusual pack on the Columbia river this season is going to koep tho price of fish down. The market for salmon both in this country and in England, depends, of course, primarily, on the price at which it leaves the house of the retailer, but it depends in a greater degree, upon tho demand. In tins particular, fortunately tor our staple, the demand is a growing one. A good many exaggerated reports have been made concerning the largo stocks now on hand in England. These stocks aro not as largo .-is repre sented, and it will be the 1st of No vember before this season's pack reaches England. The large percent age which, this season, goes on con signment, renders this an important item in its final disposition. Of course to those who have male tales, the matter is final. The present result of the season that is now closing will have great in fluence on future business. Itdemon- strates the fact that tho salmon are not "civiug out," for no bigger or better salmon have ever been caught in thn PnlnmV, ,,, m nnn- ionri'trr up stream to spawn. It will tend to legitimize the business and make it partake more of tho nature of usual lines of trade than has heretofore been characteristic The time has gone by when a man could mate a fortnnu iu one- season on the Colum bia river, but the time will never be when by the same care and diligence applied to ordinary branches of trado. a man cannot make money. That the business is now overdone is evident. k pia Positive and AUCTION OF Dry Ms, Clotlt Millinery, Etc, By Ei G AT Sheriff O'NelFs Bankrupt Store, Corner t'oiiromly mid .llaln Street-.
