Mr.. B. F. Stone, one Of the best post
ed salmon brokers in America, Is in
the city. Mr.. Stone is connected with
the firm of ]. X Armsby & Co, Of
Chicago, and Is on the coast for the
purpose OF informing himself as to ex-
isting conditions. He makes the in
teresting statement that the extent OF
the salmon market is constantly be-
coming greater, and that by virtue of
merit, the canned article, only few
years ago regarded as positive lux
ury. has become a stable article Of
food. Mr.. Stone has been interested in
the salmon business for many years,
and, while he admits that early calcu-
lations are almost invariably upset by
later developments, rendering prog
nostications uncertain. his wide ex-
perience fput him in possession o
much valuable information. An Asto-
rian representative met Mr.. Stone at
the occident yesterday afternoon.
Perhaps the most noteworthy fea-
ture of the present market is the or
iental demand for a higher quality of
salmon than has heretofore gone to the
orient" said Mr. Stone "The Japanese
are now taking large quantity of red
Alaska salmon. which is decided in
novation. Heretofore the oriental de-
mand has been exclusively for the
cheaper grades, but new packers are
furnishing Alaska reds OF this guam
tity. $4,000 cases are TO go on the In
drapura from Astoria, the Alaska

have an idea it is intended for us,
of the army.
THE war ought to help the salmon
market. One third Of the food OF the
Japanese is fish. which comes from
the Siberian coast, The operations OF
the naval forces will put an end to
lfishing. and it viii be necessary for
the Japanese to look elsewhere for
their supply. This means greatly in
creased oriental demand for salmon.
Why Cheap Prices Were Cut.
THE Alaska Packers Association re-
'dused prices of the cheaper grades of
fish, and because Of those cuts there
has been more or less discussion.
can say to you that the association
had but one object In reducing pric-
es. 1t was aetuated by desire to
discourage the packing of chums and
pink Alaska. Recently | saw some of
the cheap fish which was sold to the
Japs. Perhaps the Russians will not
kill the Japs. but If they don't that
cheap fish will. 1t It can be demon
strated TO packers that they will con-
tinue to lose on their packs of cheap
fish, it will probably not be long be-
fore the output is small There is le-
gitimate demand for cheap fish in the
south, but this demand does not JUS
tify the great output of the past few
seasons Sale of the cheaper grades
hurts the higher grade market and
generally operates to the disadvantage
Of one of our most important indus
tries"
Mr.. Stone was asked as TO the com
parative value of chums and pink Al
aska, which are generally regarded as
lsiI vr tIlu sosIIIe quality. He replied

AT present there Is but one class
of high grade fish remaining on the
market" Mr. stone continued, "Co-
lumbia river chinook and sockeye have
been sold. and at present the market
is dependent upon Alaska reds, This
class of salmon must supply the enor-
nous demand from the United States,
At the present time the demand is
about as usual for the season for cam
ned salmon, The months OF heavy
consumption are June, July, August

While the cannonade was hottest a
number of japanese torpedo boats crept
along close in shore at the foot of the
cliff and succeeded in the darkness in
getting in between the Russian ships and
the land.
Here they lay unnoticed until
the Russians began to give way be-
fore the japanese fire and sought to re-
enter the harbor. The japanese torpedo
boats than opened fire at comparatively
close range and sunk two battleships
and one cruiser close to the entrance of
the harbor. The effect of this coup was
to prevent the retreat of the remainder
of the squadron into the harbor.

THE RUSSO JAPANESE WAR.
JAP ARMY IS ALERT.
Mi<ado's Troops Reported Rushing

Mikado's Troops Reported Rushing
Into the Yalu River District.
While Japan's warships are engaging
the attention of the enemy off the coast
the efforts to perfect invasion of the in.
terror preparatory to an energetic land
campaign are proceeding steadily. accord
ing to Seoul advices. 1t is openly ad,
mitted that the japanese land forces are
actively engaged in most important
movement, which will come to a climax
as swiftly as did Japan's first naval at
tack.
Japanese troops are advancing toward
the Yalu River. There, it is expected,
they will meet and engage the Russian
forces. The japanese declare that the
numbers of the Russian troops are great
ly exaggerated.
The plan of the Japanese appears to
be to take the road which leads almost
straight to Mukden. They profess to
have no doubt that they will be able to
drive back the Russian forces toward
Harbin. The Mukden road, though nom
inally under Russian military control,
will be subject to constant raids from
Chinese bands, who will swoop down
from the hills.
Proceeding diagonally, the japanese
intend to cut the line of communication
between Port Arthur and the mainland
of Manchuria, not only preventing re-en-
forcements from reaching the Fort Ar
thur garrison, but inficting damage on
the Manchurian railway.
The hope that the japanese would in
the meantime be able to occupy Port Ar
thur was chiefly based on the belief that
the Russian guns could not be brought
to bear on any force landing at Pigeon
Bay, which is on the western side of
Port Arthur, and it was believed that
the japanese admiral would follow tao
ticts almost exactly similar TO those in
tended to be pursued at Santiago, the
troops stOrming the batteries in the rear,
while the japanese feet lay waiting for
the ships of Viceroy Alexieff. who, in the
event of a land attack being successful,
was obliged to either make dash for
liberty with his crippled fleet or fight
where they We're against practically
hopeless odds.
Only those who went through the Chi
nese war can quite understand the emu
