Said To Be Cos tlisst Commodity in
 the Market.

San Francisco. Feb. 11.--Although the waters ill ,ua vicinity of this 'ity arc teeming with fish of endless va , riety. this class of food has become the dearest commodity in the market. An advance of 100 per cent has just taken place in the price of ali kinds of fish. Salmon has been advanced from j cents to 25 cents and striped bass tronn.l cents to 20 cents. The re- taller planes the wholesale dealers. all of whom arc in q combine. and the wholesaler ascribes the sudden and phenomenal advance in fish partly 10 bad weather and partly to the al legged depredatiops of Chinese. who. they say, fish with set nets and des- troy vast quantities. of fish. As it stands now, so far as consumers are concerned. it is case of pay or go without if. .
 The fish industry in California is quite an important one, employing over 2,5(W men in San Francisco and 1900 along the coast and rivers. and a capital aggregatiHg S1,000,0o0. In San Francisco alone over S30O,00O is invested in boats and apparatus.
