WHAT THEY SIT IS SA5 FR1XCISC0.
Our advices from tho Columbia river
during the week havo varied from day to
day. On the 10th instant one dispatch
said: '"Fish running very irregularly;
trap-fishing very poer: canners behind
to date.' Anether: "No big ran this
season; average of fish to the boat only
six." Another cannery says: "Only had
132 fish to-day, against 2,200 correspond
ing date last season." On the 11th:
"Fish running well." The 12th: "Fish"
50 par cent les than yesterday; up river
canneries running only quarter time; no
big run this week." On the 14th: "Pack
still running behind; fish scarce yester
day; worse to-day' From another can
nery, same date, wo have: "Fish are
running poorly; yesterday's catch of fish,
74 boats only 1,200, against 3,200 for pre
vious Monday.11 From thesa reports it
is evident that expectations of a good
run havo not been realized. The situa
tion grows more important each day, and
indications now point with some certain
ty to a short pack on that river. What
the shortage will be may ba inferred from
comparison with last j'ear'a experience
Tho nack to July 1, 16S4, was302,37i)
cases, and for 1S aggregated 247,'JSj
cases, according to most careful esti
mates. This shows a shortage. July 1st
this year, of FAXM. cases. From that
date tho shortage is estimated at 2." to
33 per cent. In July, 1831, the pack was
tho largest ever known in any ono month,
aggregating about 330,000 cases, nearly
or quite one-half of which was put up
during the first half of the month. Tho
run was largo from the first and con
tinued throughout. In fact from the 1st
to tho l.rth, a portion of tho time the
boats were on a limit, and on some days
a portion of them were kept in altogether.
Assuming that tho estimato of shortage
for the first half of tho current month is
25 per cent, we have to add to the .l,.r9t
cases short Juty 1st about 4.3,000 cases,
which would make the shortage on tho
1.3th instant about 100,000 cases. If lho
catch for the remainder of July should
prove to be as largo as last year, which is
from present outlook highly improba
ble, tho shortage for the j-e"ar on tho Co
lumbia will be as above stated. There is,
however, every indication that this short
age will be largohy increased, and conserv
ative estimates now place it nt about
150,000 to 200,000 cases for the season.
In view of this showing, canners exhibit
more confidence in values aud have ad
vanced prices somewhat. Quotations f.
o. b. on the river range now Si)i. fa
81.07 as to brands. Tho pack of Devlin
k Co. is reported sold to Balfour, Guthrie
& Co. at S)7J per dozen, for export,
equivalent to $LO0 domestic. Tho Lon
don Grocer of Juno f7th. in reviewing
tho situation in that market, says:
"Nothing positivo is staled iu connec
tion with tho quantity that is likely to bo
packed for 183.3, whether it will finally
turn out to ba light or heavy, aud, to
speak unreservedly, in lho existing tone
of tho market, it signifies but little which
way circumstances decide the queston;
if the aggregate pack is abundant, still
lower prices, we think, must ensue, while,
should it be quite tho reverse, the short
ness of new supplies will be made np for
by drawing unsparingly on tho stocks of
old packs, of which there has long been
a troublesome accumulation." Cal. Gro
cer anil Country Merclianl.
Iroma salmon packers standpoint, a
more discouraging condition of affairs
has never been known on tho Columbia
river. That there is a shortage of at
least 100.000 cases in the season's pack,
with but littlo probability of its being
mado up i? an accepted fact. Still the
market lias lacked tone, and prices have
ruled low all through the season. All ad
vices for the week more than confirm
previous reports of a short pack. Two
weeks from to-day the season closes.
There has beeu nothing like tho activity
of last July, and it is now too late for
any improvement in the run of salmon.
Last year, during tho last three weeks in
July, there was an over-supply of mater
ial, cannery forces wero doubled and
operations were continued night and day.
The pack for those three weeks brought
the season's output up to a fair average.
Cautious buvers all along havo antici
pated a repetition of their experiences of
last year, but it seems now mat they aro
to meet a serious disappointment, :nd
that the coasoii will close with a sharp
advance on present prices. Two weeks
ago several of the cauneries had ex
ceeded their pack for last yoar, but a
large majority of them were short, and
now it is said there is not a canner on
tho river whose opsrations have not fallen
considerably below an average pack.
Tho fishermen havo deserted the Sac
ramento river aud the canneries are all
closed. Tho pack there never was as
light as it has been this season and shows
a shortage of at least 75,000 cases. The
chango in the law governing fishing
makes August an open month, but can
ners generally have declared their inten
tion not to fish, and as there is no hope
of auy improvement in tho run of sal
mon, we may count upon a strict ad
herence to their determination in this
instance.
The city canners have never had n sat
isfactory "supply of fish during tho sea
son, and the great scarcity of bay fish
has been the general complaint of
market men.
On Puget Sound absolutely nothing is
being done aud reports from all outside
rivers indicate short packs. Notwith
standing all this, prices for canned stock
aro o:uy lainy sustameu, onu quotations
aro as at last report more or less nominal
at 03c(?Sl.lO for export, according to
brand. In this citv first rate brands aro
quoted at $1.10$l.ir; ordinary, 1

FOBEIGN SALMON NOTI3.
Tho tone of the salmon market is ex
tremely dull. Tho small inquiry is prin
cipally for medium and lower qualities.
Flat tins receive some amount of atten
tion at the moderate prices now ru
ling. London Grocers' Gazette.
The demand for salmon does not im
prove as holders would like to see it, and
business languishes for want of requsito
support. A large quantity of cheap stuff
has, however, been token off, and there
are buyers who would gladly absorb, fur
ther parcels, a littlo preferable, on simi
lar terms, but importers of these show
firmness, and refuse to entertain offers of
less money. London Grocer.
There is a very fair inquiry lor salmon
and prices remain unaltered, but tho ten
dency of tho market is certainly up
wards. Liverpool correspondence Lon
don Grocers' Gazette.
The trade in salmon is still quiet, and
prices aro rather in buyers' favor. The
weather has not tended to increase bus
iness, but tho hotter season of July and
August should bring about a considerable
improvement. One very unsatisfactory
phase of business is the discreditable
practice of re-labelling ordinary brands
with fancy designations, such as"Crown,"
"Roval," etc., as the buyers became
doubtful about tho genuineness of all
brands. There is a natural desire to se
cure tho wholo of the pack of popular
special brands, to avoid the keen compe
tition of the times, but tho famo of a
packer should rest upon his merits. Cor
respondence London Grocer.

TITE CITY OF TOKIO.
Wrecked on a Beef Sear Totoliania.
San Feaxcisco. July 20. From passen
gers on the steamer Arabic, which ar
rived yesterday from China and Japan,
the following account of tho loss of tho
steamer City of Tolno is ebtained: On
Tuesday evening, June 23, about 7
o'clock, the light off Capo King was
sighted. Tho night grew dark early, and
after sighting tho light a thick fog set
tled down. Tho Tokio after sighting the
light, made up the bay for Yokohama.
It was impossible to distinguish land
marks along tho shore. Commodore
Maury was aware of tho danger, and was
on tho bridge, peering into the fog and
darkness. Tho first, third and fourth
officers wero also on deck. The Tokio
kept steadily on her course, until mid
night, when suddenly the man on tho
lookout and tho commodore on tho
bridge felt the great vessel sliding easily
and noiselessly on a shelving rock. In
an instant tho prow had ploughed into i
bluff, and the trees on the bank stretched
their limbs over the rail of tho Tokio.
Tho great vessel rested quietly on her
bed of rocks. Thero was neither wind
nor waves to pound her to pieces, and
she slipped into her dangerous position
so quietly that no ono on Doara was
frightened or aroused by any violent
shock.
Her engines were at onco reversed, and
all the strength in her machinery exert
ed to back her off tho rocks. Her screw
churned the water, but the Tokio held
fast to her dangerous position. It was
about high tide, and the officers and
crew worked all night to draw tho Tokio
from her dangerous position but tho
tide went out, morning came, and she
was still on tho rocks. As tho tido went
down the whole weight of tho vessel, es
timated at about 0,000 tons, rested on
the keel, and under this great weight her
sides began to sag. It was decided at
once to jettison a part of her cargo to re
lievo the framo of tho vessel of the great
weight pressing against it. A large quan
tity of flour was thrown overboard, and
tha sea was white for miles.
In the afternoon of "Wednesday, Juno
21, a launch came off from Yokohama
and took tho passengers aboard, among
thcci Minister Hubbard. Tho treasure
was also taken off safely. Thero was no
alarm, however, on board tho ToMo. The
sea remained calm, tho vessel rested qui
etly on the ledge of rooks. No alarm
was felt in Yokohama for tho safety of
the vessel, aud many hours elapsed bo
fore the necessary appliances wero got
together for her relief. Every effort that
was mado to get the Tokio off failed. It
was found that a rock had punctured
her bottom in the forward compartment,
and it was decided to build a coffer-dam
around the damage, water being let into
the after part of the steamer to keep her
steady. This, however, proved unsuc
cessful, liko otbj&r efforts. Seeing that
hope of getting tho Tokio off was waning,
Commodore Maury set to work to save
as much of tho cargo as possible. The
cargo for Yokohama and Shanghai was
saved, but tho cargo for Hongkong was
lost. The officers and crew staid by tho
ship day after day, each hour making
tho rescuo of the" vessel less probable.
Finally, on July 2, about -i o'clock iu the
afternoon, tho barometer on board sud
denly fell. Tho commodore announced
that a great chango in tho weather
would quickly follow and ordered tho
crew and attaches of tho ship, 33G in all,
ashore. Commodore Maury was one of
tho last to leave tho vessel. Hardly had
tho ship's company got on land when a
terrible typhoon camo up. A violent
wind shook the masts of tho vessel and
as they heaved back and forth they rat
tled the plates of tho ship and loosening
the bolts and shattering the wholo framo
work of tho hull. Tho seas camo higher
and higher, and broke over the vessel,
disintegrating her in every part. Finally,
a succession of terriblo seas dashed over
and washed her out of sight. Tho last
vestige of her that was seen was tho end
of tho foreyard. The ship's company
stood on tho bluff and saw the seas break
the great ship 10 pieces. In a few mo
ments the Tokio was entirely gone from
sight, and the officers and crew proceed
ed to Yokohama.

COXFR0HISKD THE SUIT.
In the cases of William S.Pond against
the Pacific Coast Steamship Co., says the
News, of tho 21st. Judgo Deady in the
United States circuit court yesterday or
dered a judgment of non-suit entered.
Mr. Pond, the plaintiff, was one of tho
300 passengers that were aboard tho
Queen of the. Pacific on that memorable
4th of September when she ran aground
on Clatsop spit, and was quivering on
tho sand for soveral hours. Part of the
cargo was served liko Jonah, while tho
passengers wero taken off in tugs and
lifeboats. According to Pond's account
he was particularly active, and aided in
manning a lifeboat. "While doing his
duty like a bravo man, Mrs. Bosworth,
one of tho passengers, was thrown from
tho deck of tho Queen into the lifeboat.
She landed in such a way as to almost
knock tho life out of Pond. By this
unfortunate accident Pond was severely
injured, and claimed that tho troublo
was caused by the carelessness of defend
ants' servants, nnd brought suit to
recover 25,000 damages.
Now comes tho interesting part of tho
story. It seems that Pond is not as
shallow as tho namo might lead ono to
suppose. Shortly after tho suit was
instituted he negotiated with the officers
of tho Pacific Coast Steamship company
nnd compromised the suit for 1,000.
With this money ho left for parts un
known, leaving his lawyers, Messrs.
Emmons fc Emmons, to pay all tho costs
in tho case, which nmountto a consid
erable sum. fc
JDLY TWELFTH.
A recent New York dispatch give3 a
brief interview with Mr. Alex. Wiley, who
has charge of tho canned goods depart
ment of Thurber, Wyland fc Co. in that
oity, wherein that gentleman is mado to
say, in conversation on the subject of
salmon' that: "Dealers in canned salm
on nro holding back for the season
which begins on the 12th of July, but I
don't think you will see tho adranco
talked of in tho papars." Mr. "Wiley is a
well-informed merchant, but the Cali
fornia Grocer and Country Merchant
thinks it is hardly possible either of the
abovo remarks came from him as report
ed. In reference to tho remark about July
12th being tho day when the salmon sea
son begins on the Columbia river, it 13
gratifying to know that, if ho is correctly
reported, Mr. "Wiley has made a dis
covery which has escaped tho salmon
canners and dealers on this coast. It is
trno, tho run of fish in July gonerally
exceeds that of any other month in the
year, but no fixed date for beginning or
ending of tho run is known hero. Mr.
Wiley may havo secured tho confidence
of the fish, and thus had this secret mado
known to him.
Body Found.
It will be remembered that Jno. Bou
chard, a man well known in this vicinity,
was drowned about nine days ago, whilo
going from J. B. Osborn's place on
Young's river, farther east. Yesterday
afternoon F. W. "Wass and J. B. Osborn
started in a boat to look for the body,
and rowing to tho spot where his boat
and hat had previously been found, they
searched among tho tules. In a short
time they found tho body about sixty
yards from the place where ho disap
peared. "Wasa came over to town and no
tified the coroner, who went over last
ovoning to hold an inquest if necessary.
