IMPROVEMENT IN THE CROP OUTLOOK
Liverpool Did Not Reflect the Position
OF American, Making Only Very
Slight Advance.

The crop outlook Is materially improved
and Of n favorable character. Fair wealth
er generally prevailed with only scattered
showers in the southeast. The weekly
bureau report showed better condition of
the crop. Continuance of good weather
will result In intenslfying the bearish
feeling which is not dormant by any
means.
There was nothing new In the July deal
and the manipulation appeared TO be tnkiug
breathing spell The Improvement In
American markets had but slight effect
on Liverpool only small advances be ng
shown In that market. Liverpool showed
an advance of 2-64d to 464d on contracts;
spots were 1-16d higher; sales to spinners
COCO bales. New York opened about I
ipoIuts lower, but reaction resulted from
shorts taking profits. After this demand
had been satisfied the market became
heavy, closing at the lowest Of the day,
losing 10 to 10 points. New Orleans was
In about the same fix, closing S to 10 points

ALASKA FISH LAWS.
Government Will Enforce Legal Sal
mon Catching.

Seattle. Wash. June "A. D. Harland
of Philadelphia, special agent of the
United States treasury department, has
arrived-at Seattle, en- route to southeast
ern Alaska where he goes to observe
the manner in which the territorial laws
for the regulation of the fishing indus
try are observed and enforced. DR.. Har-
land said:
There have been some violations Of
the law and carelessness in observing it.
But I am convinced that the companies
operating the canneries see the wisdom
of the regulations and are willing to
comply with them
The salmon industry Of Alaska is an
enormous one but is only one branch
of the fisheries which is but one of the
wealth producing industries of the ter
rit0ry- Without the Alaska output the
world could not now be supplied with
salmon SO great is the demand for that
fish. And Alaska is the only salmon
fishing ground known which is keeping
up its supply of fish,
Mr.. Harland believes the Alaska
salmon industry is worth S100, 000, 600 to
the country.
