NO SHORTAGE OF SALMON,
Catch VIII he Large ms Usual-High
Price Occasioned by Increased
Demand From Cannerfes.

According to old salmon fishermen. there
Is no Indication that this will be an Off
year in the catch on Puget sound and in
adjacent waters. On the contrary, II is
said there Is every likelihood Of II being
a fairly heavy one.
The theory of an off year said Jacob
Fritch, OF Fairhaven, at the Seattle last
night, rs very much like the stories
about ghosts told to me when I was a
boy. They frightened me and made me
behave myself. But why this practice
was carried into the fish business Is more
than / can understand. There will be a
good salmon catch this year on Puget
sound, or / miss my guess. The present
high prize for fish is not due to any
anticipated shortage in the catch, but par
tituiarly to the increase in fishermen's
wages and the advanced lists on salmon.
1.-THE price is not by any means too
high, and will probably remain around ga
cents all season. Canneries at all points
on the Sound are preparing to put up a
large pack, larger than ever before. This
is creating a demand that helps prices
to advance"

The development of oyster cultivation In
France is special feature of the French
naval exhibit at the Paris exhibition. In a
report to the State Department on the sub
ject Vice Consul General Hanauer at
Frankfort says that the yearly average
production of French oysters prior to 1887
amounted to s. 123. 600. gradually increasing
for the year 1898 to 81. S25 600, when Is, 500 :
900 French and 3.OO0.OOO Portuguese oysters
were sold along the French coasts. The
consul general says that the bivalves are a
great luxury in Europe. and so dear that
only the Weather classes can afford to eat
them. In the city of Frankfort small Ger
man or Dutch oysters In the shell cost from
90 to - cents per dozen. Some resident
Americans occasionally have a barrel of
American oysters sent by their friends at
home. The consul general expresses the
opinion tina the shipment Of American
oysters In cold storage would be practica-
BILE and afford profit.
