Reckoning 1N cases of tin plate to

the present seasons pack of fish at
450, 900 cases, the amount Of plate act
ually needed 10 hold every can of fish

from the total amoun Of tin plate
here and on the way the surplus re-
mains exactly 26,91S cases. Holders
are already trying to find purchasers,
and purchasers are few and far be-
tween. Already the price is being
trimmed to suit the emergency, and
those cannerymen who have been
lucky Cor perhaps far sighted) enough
to hold off on their orders up to the
present time, will reap the reward Of
patience by a very tidy saving on the
cost of their tin. OF course what these
latter are compelled to buy for present
needs they are buying in small lots,
with the knowledge that the next par
eel they purchase will show another
dwindling decrease In the price. Which
only goes to prove the old adage that
all things come to him who waits.

The Tin Mar
ket Glutted.

1t will be interesting to note in con-
nect'on with the salmon industry the
peculiar and unusual fluctuations In
the quoted prices of tin plate during
the next few months. I 1t will be a
condition brought about mainly owing
to the general belief that the British
ship Cupica, with 10000 cases of tin
plate aboard consigned to local can
nerymen, had foundered at sea. When
days and weeks had gone by long after
she was due ait Astoria, many of the
packers along the river duplicated
their orders for tin plate elsewhere.
When the vessel turned UP safe and
sound 1t was found that the market
was largely o~verstocked and that sub
sequent sales would begin to show the
failing value of the material The fol-
lowing table compiled by the Historian
will show the exact amount Of the
tin received here, in cases:

a given belt in Kansas without rain fall
ing over 1t, and so in that thirty days the
rainmakers were dead sure of hitting at
least one rain and earning $500, whatever
may have been their failures at this or
that town. But during the last three
years. when 1t only rained on an average
once year the chances were all against
the rainmaker, and he dropped it to en-
gage in the more lucrative fake of selling
soap or Indian medicine.
1t has been published in all the papers
that Jewell, the Rock Island rainmaker,
was fitting up five new cars with which
to take the road, but this story is proba-
bly, unreliable. Last year he operated all
the way from Iowa to Oklahoma, and
every stray shower which wandered
across his path was heralded as triumph
for the rainmakinga science. His system
of operation seems to have been precisely
that of the western Kansas fellows, only
it was conducted on larger scale.
