The salmon pack last season on the Pacific Coast, according to the most re liable data obtainable, was over 1,700,- 000 cases larger than in 1900. Puget Sound, British Columbia and Alaska cannaries made the greatest packs on record. A conservative estimate of last year’s output is 4,50'1,000 cases. Prices have been firmly maintained at the low level established early last year. Of the Puget Sound pack, about half has been sold. Only a small part of the British Columbia and Alaska pack has been disposed of. The effect 01 the pre sent large stocks of salmon on prices is problematical.*Owing to the great quan. tity of the available supply, buyers have been holding off, apparently in expecta tion of more favorable prices. Eastern merchants have been buying slowly, partly on this account and partly be ‘ cause of the early stage of the buying « season. The Columbia River pack is almost all , sold. No more pound tails are available, . and as to pound and half-pound flats, | between 8 >00 and 19,000 cases are left. ■ The output of the Columbia River can ] neries last vear was about 250,000 ( cases, a very light pack. The standard j price for tails has been $1 50, for pound ( flats $1 65. and for halt-pound flats 95 K cents. These prices were maintained ( throughout the selling season. Owing ( the superior quality of Columbia Ri to ver salmon, higher prices have been real j ized than for anv other product. De , mand for Columbia fish has been good, . and the canneries have had no trouble j disposing of their stocks. The selling in < season has been a profitable one, al though not so much so as in the palmy ( days of the industry, when fish were ( cheap. This time last year the stocks unsold on the Pacific Coast were very heavy. Large quantities were held by specula tors. The trade was also carrying heavy stocks, held on the lex el of the preceding year’s prices. These prices lessened de mand and kept the fish from moving readily. Before the 1901 fishing season opened, the Alaska Packers’ Association treated the trade to two surprises. One was the reduction of Alaska reds from $1 10 to 95 cents per dozen, and the other the reduction of Puget Sound stockeyes from $1 30 and $ I 50 to $ 1 per dozen. There new prices caused in- crease in consumption and heavy sales. The carry-over stpek to the pack of 1901 was lessened thereby to about 150,000 cases. ASTHMA CURE FREE! SENT ABSOLUTELY FREE POSTAL.

He claims the Armv is being demoralized and the insurgents are growing in determination;1 also that the civil and military authori- j ties of the United States are not in accord.
