lumbia river salmon. The prices quot
ed are
Tails, $3.50; fats, H.s5; halves, s5

The base price OF the quotations is
20 cents a dozen less than last year.
The reason for the reduction Is rather
puzzling TO local cannerymen. Evident
ly there is some Of last seasons pack re-
naming or the company anticipates a
decline In the price OF raw material.
The latter condition can only be brought
about by a big run of fish in the river.

season. though expectations were other
