Portland. strong, export de-
mand is the feature Of the salmon
market. Domestic trade has been
good all the season, and with foreign
business increasing the situation is
entirely satisfactory at this end, and
there is every prospect that the pack
will be entirely cleaned up. '.S
European orders heretofore this sea
son have been for medium grades, and
large quantity Of Alaska reds and
silversides has been disposed of. Now
the London trade is becoming interest
ed in fancy Columbia River chinooks,
an inquiry Of this kind having been
received yesterday. x II,
The British steamer City Of Corinth,
now loading on the Sound, will reach
Portland the latter part Of the week,
and will take on between 5000 and
10000 cases of salmon here for Lon
don. The steamer Tampico left down
the river carrying $50 tons OF salmon
for west coast points.
The steamer Yucatan will reach As
toria in few days with about $4,000
cases of Alaska fish, and the steamer
Despatch is also due there from Alas
ka with a salmon cargo. All the Port
land salmon ships are now in.
Eastern salmon orders are also In
creasing, q new development Of the
trade being the booking of new bust
ness with Boston. A still heavier ton
mage could no doubt be disposed Of but
for the interruption Of Panama Canal
traffic. The blockading Of the canal
and the congestion of freight at Gal.
weston has left the Eastern markets
lightly supplied, and some grades Of
salmon are practically unavailable
there.
The total shipments Of canned salm
on by land and sea from American
ports for the present year up to Sep
tember / were 2,676,7s5, as compared
with total Of 1901, 1896 for the same
period last year. Inasmuch as a large
percentage Of the Alaska pack for this
year had not reached San Francisco
by September /, this season, the pack
ers expect that more recent shipnaents
will show still greater increase ovei
the shipments that were made last
year. In the first part Of the year
before the current seasons pack be
gan to move, Puget Sound exported
$1,000 cases Of salmon to Great Brit
ain, double the quantity exported tc
that country last year.
