Dealers, however, expect regualr shipments to begin and keep up after a week or so. Receipts are far below the demand and the hsh is going at 9c to 11c a pound. What is being received is of excellent quailty. The shortage is attributed directly to the fact that fishermen laid off work during the holi days and after that the weather was too stormy to permit them to make any reasonable catches. Salmon also .s reported scarce, with not enough being obtained to accom modate the trade. Steelheads and Alaska kings are the only varieties received. The steelheads are being caught in the Columbia and other Northwest rivers, in the Grays Harbor and Puget Sound districts. The kings come from Alaska. Butter remains at the advanced prices and is very firm, say jobbers, at 33(d.34c a pound. No change either way is expected for some time. Prac tically no Oregon butter is being re ceived, but what little does come in ia moving out at 32c a pound. Ranch eggs are a bit easier, dealers setting prices down at 34(tt36c a dozen to encourage sales, they say. The local produce market shows no change. The boards are well supplied and dealers are doing a good business. Solid Alcohol Fuel.
