The London Grocerf Gazette says: "Salmon is firmly held, but tho de mand is very small; everyone seems1 to expect a brisk enquiry jn the spring, when it will be difficult to ob tain an adequate snpply, and buyers have anticipated this, and are quietly holding fair stocks. There has been an improved demand during the week, and the small parcels, offering demon strate how bare of stock our market is comparatively. Sales have been effected at full market rates, and it seems probable that tho wholesale prico will reach 30s. before the now season's pack oan reach us, for tho first vessel is a very.s.low sailer, aud it is doubtful whether she will arrive this year, though her arrival will, we believe, serve rather to strengthen than weaken the situation." The London Uroccr reports as follews: "As already pointed out. salmon is still exceedingly dear, and with next to nothing on the market Only retail quantities have been taken for immediate use, but we hear that 28s. per caso have been sub mitted to for 'outside' river fish, wnicii indicates a little weakness in prices.'' The Liverpool market is reported as follows by tne same paper: l,Tbe small stock of Colum bia river salmon are rapidly dimish ing, several important sales having been made winch reduce tne now available supplies of fine parcels to a few thousand cases. Au advance of b'd to Is per case has been paid dur ing the week. In some quarters it ia believed that the present high prices will tend to much reduce the con sumption, and it is a doubtful ques tion whether the short pack will or will not snpply all needs at present figures.''

After some comparison, an amended motion that Dr. Page be allowed S150 in payment of his bill was carried. The following claims were referred: B. S. Wbralcv, 8LG5; Arndt & Fer cheu. $133.97; Wm. Healy, S4.50; W. E. Dement, 82.25; SL50; C. C. Cady, 810; Astoria Iron "Works, 81,200. Councilman Bergman said that his attention had been directed by conn cilmeu and others to an assertion that at the time the iron pipe was bought for tho pipe lino councilman Cleveland had received a commission for negotiating tho purchase: that he had "promised ho would bring up the matter, and in fulfillment of that duty made mention of what had been said. An expression of opinion on the part of tho council resulted in a motion that a committee be appointed to inquire into the trnth or faleity of the charges. At this juncture councilman Cleve land said that he considered such proposed course unnecessary: that on first hearing thoso vague rumors though conscious of his own inno cence and rectitude ho had written to Mr. Beebe, of the firm of Sutton k Beebe of Portland, and had received an answer. He read tho letter he had written and the answer. The ant wer was in tho form of a sworn statement that ho (Cleveland) had in no way directly or indirectly, re ceived a cent in any way for negotiat ing tho sale and that no proffer had in any way been made. After reading this councilman Cleveland said that there was not a scintilla of trnth in the charge, and that he deGed any one to prove the centrary: that he had bought the pipe, in conjunction with councilmea Fulton and Gratke, and that three fully understood what the price was to be before Mr. Beebe had tele graphed to his principals in N -a York as to whether or not h" amount required could be delivena from the vessel at Astoria. Upon hearing theso statements a majority of tho council gave it as their opinion that the matter was un worthy of further notice, and amo tion was adopted fully exouerating councilman Cleveland from any sus picion in the matter and expressing the opinion that further investiga tion in the matter was not necessary, and unwarranted by tho facts. A communication was read from chief engineer Worsley, stating that it was the intention of Rescue No. 2 Engine company to permanently place a team of horses in tho engine building, to draw tho engine to fires, and bv reason of that would ask that requisite changes be authorized in the building. The petition was unan imously granted. The matter of a sewer on West 8th street was referred to street com mittee, and on motion, council ad journed. i m m - i. Attention Knights!
