GREAT 1901
SALMON
PACK
Over 1,700,000 More Cases Put
Up Than in 1900.
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

season.
The Columbia River pack is almost all
, sold. No more pound tails are available,
. and as to pound and half-pound flats,

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.

There is nothing like Asthmalene. It brings instant relief
even in the worst cases. It cures when all else fails.
The Rev. C. F. WELLS, of Vdla Ridge, III., says : “ Your
trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I can
not tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it.
I was a slave, chained with putrid sore throat and asthma for
ten years. I despaired of ever being cured, I saw your ad
vertiseiuent for the cure of this dreadful and tormenting dis
ease, asthma, and though you had oversi»oken yourselves, but
resolved to give it a trial. To my astonishment, the trial acted
like a charm. Send me a full-size bottle.
