Haibut fishing is very good now out in the
Straits, the weather being favorable and the
run good. Yesterday the little schooner Annis
came in with 1000 pounds for Ainsworth Il
Dunn. The wholesale price is now cents per
pound. The supply of salmon for Eastern
shipment is still short. The last steamer from
San Francisco did not bring very heavy supply
OF green stufIs, and unless trade is very dull
the market will be entirely bare before the ar
rival OF the next steamer. Asparagus is short
and straw berries are not very plentiful.
The retail market continues steady and prices
unchanged. Good apples are hard to get and
sell high. Chickens are moro plentiful, but
turkeys are very scarce.
