ASTORIA, Nor. 17. Tbe -1902 fall fishing' season lias been a comparative failure. Operations hava been discon tinued on the Columbia ; river, and. while a few -dayg yet remain. for fish ing- on the outside streams of the state and Gray's Harbor and Shoal water Bay, enough is known of the situation to make. It known that the pack will be below average. Figures compiled from statements given by packers in dicate that the total pack will be 105,- i00- cases, ; : . 1 ? On the Columbia river the output is approximately 14.00u cases. Only two packing houses were operated this Tall, aftd these depended principally on the traps for thein 'supplies, i Aout ! ten days -ago' heavy reshets ! made their appearance in the river, as the result of the rains, and it was Impossible for Ih trappers to continue operations. They gave up In disgust during last week, and the canneries were at once closed down. The cannery of the Co lumbia. River Packers' Association at Pillar Rock has packed about 11,000 cases of flsh. while Senator J. G. Meg ler's Brookfield, packing house has can ned about 3,000 cases. Nearly the entire pack on the Co lumbia river Is of ; chums, sllversldes having been very scarce ; during- the season. The cold-storages made a bid for sllversldes, and perhaps got , the bulk of those caught by' offering : a higher price. It Is estimated that not more than 25 per cent of the Columbia river pack Is of sllversldes. From Garibaldi and Alsea Bay come reports of light packs, with a scarcity of sllversldes. At Nehalem sllversldes were much more plentiful than at any other point reportihg, and the pack there will not go far toward helping the canners supply the demand for this grade of fish. ? Gray's Harbor has had an .exceptionally good year, and the pack there is supposed to be-fully 35, 000 cases. Most of, the ... fish packed at the harbor are said to ! be chums.' The shortage of the fall pack, to gether with the remarkably heavy fall ing off in the Puget . Sound; summer pack and the deficiency noted In South ern Alaska and the Eraser river, ought to have a- very good effect on the high grade fish market. Indeed, things-are already looking up,: and Columbia riv er chi nook will doubtless command a much better price next season. Samuel Elmore, who is just home from the Enst, says the demand for canned salmon has been wonderful. He makes an encouraging report with ref erence to the condition of the market and thinks, next season's prices will be very favorable. Prices are expected to stiffen somewhai during the next sixty or ninety days. .'s some of the jobbers will, be compelled to replenish during that time. If there Is any slump at all. It will be on cheap ftsh. That low grade salmon has ; not made the in roads into the high-grade market hat was expected' Is evidenced from, the statement of Mr. Elmore, - who knows of a Chicago broker who bought Puget Sound sockeyes for S1.27H per' dozen in Chicago when the price on the Coast was $1.25.
