Alaska Packers Association
Fix Their Own Prices.
SALMON GOES HIGHER
Best Brand Goes to $1.2O per Dozen
Cans-Concession is Allowed ON
Consignments of 500 Cases or
More-Estimate Place Coast Short
age Much Lower Than Last Year.

The shortage of the salmonpack in more
southern waters and the unlimited demand
have made it possible for Alaska packers
to fix their oyn prices on the pack for 1900,
and they have fixed price somew hat
higher than that heretofore prevailing.
A late New York dispatch SAYS:
Representatives of the Alaskan Packers
Association have fixed PRICES on the 1000
pack of Alaska salmon as follows:
''Hor ,eshoe-A trial brand. $I.2o; and
other labels, SI.I2f. Against these figures
however, a concession amounting to IN
cents per dozen Is made on all straight lots
of 500 cases or over of one brand which can
be shipped immediately. and on which the
expense of holding until the arrival of
other brands will be spared the associai h.
The buver is to be given the full benefit of
this saving, as all salmon in the quantity
named will be billed at $I.I7t for Horses
shoe and $I.Io for other brands. These
figures are based on one dozen one pound
cans, showing the price to be between II
and IL cents per pound.
mo prices have been named on soekeye,
medium red and pink salmon.
4"Estimates as the probable shortage
the entire coast varv considerably, rang
ing from 100000 to 1000, 900 cases below
the pack of last year.
''As to the actual shortage figures are. Of
course, not available. the returns from the
various canneries not being complete.

56th CONGRESS-.
Forecast for Coming Week in
House and Senate.
Urgent Deficiency Bill May Bring With
It Stormy Debate.
Philippines and Finance Will Take Up Most
Of Senate's Time.

Washington, Jan. There is no pro
Sramme in the House for the present
week. The only certain feature is the
consideration of the urgent deficiency
appropriation bill. 1t will be ready
Tuesday or Wednesday. 1t will con-
tain almost $50, 000, 900 for the army and
navy and while it will pass when it
reaches vote it may precipitatc a
stormy debate upon the conduct of the
war in the Philippines.
The answer of Secretary Gage to the
House resolution calling for informa-
ton regarding the deposit of govern
ment funds in national banks is ex-
pected early in the week. The report
will constitute privileged question
which will open up debate but if it is
deemed unsatisfactory to any one reso-
buttons of investigation may follow
The Roberts case will not get before
the House until the end Of the week Al
the earliest ana probably not then
The hearings have been adjourned IN
til Wednesday and it is hardly likely
that the report can be prepared in
time for presentation this week.
The week in the Senate necessarily
will be given up largely to speech max
ing. Beginning Monday morning. Sem
ator Pettigrcw's resolution asking for
information concerning the Philippine
war Will come up and he and probably
other senators Will speak upon it. This
will occur during the morning hour.
Senator Morgan has given notice Of
a speech, Monday. in which he VIII
discuss the race question in the South.
If any time is left, that day. it Will be
devoted to the continuation OF the dis
cuSsiOn of the financial bill, some Of
the senators in the opposition replying
to Mr.. Aldrich. Tuesday. Senator Bcv-
eridge will deliver his speech on the
Philippines problem, and Wednesday
will be devoted to eulogicS of the late
Vice President Hobart.
The greater part of the remainder of
the week will be devoted to finance.
the object of the managers of the
financial bill beingto give as much time
as possible to this measure until it IS
acted upon. 1t is now understood that
almost all the senators opposed to the
bill will talk upon it before the vote
shall be taken. but there has not yet
been any arrangement Of the order III
which they will address the Senate.
