NO SALMON TO BE ALLOWED
 FOR EXPORTS
Government Will Hold All Canned Salmon in the Warehouses For
 the Present

Thousands of cases of salmon, contracted for by foreign buyers, still are in warehouses in the Pa cific Northwest and will probably remain there indefinitely, for the federal government has refused to issue license for their exportation, says the Seattle Times of Dec. 6.
 At the outset of the last fishing season salmon packers and brokers were notified that Great Britain had reduced the amount of salmon that would be permitted to enter that country by 50 per cent. but it was promised the reduced quantity could be shipped in upon licenses obtained by the English buyer.
 This move was intended to con serve cargo space. which was to be given to food products in the ratio of their value to sustaining life and

growth of an effort to bull the mar ket on salmon. At the time the government quotations were Made reds had gone up to $26O, pinks to $l.S5 and chums to $175. There was a tendency towards even high CT prices.
 Ten Gents Off on Reds
 The Food Administrations prices are practically those fixed by the Kelley Clarke Co.,, which was the official opening quotations of the trade. The Pacific American Fish cries had issued an earluier price list on certain salmon which closely approximated the Kelley-Clarkes quo tations, and indicated that the two concerns, working independently had arrived at the same conclusion as to the amount of profit that the rood Administration would permit the packers to take. The only change made by Food Administrator Herbert c. Hoover in the Kelley. Clarke Co.'S opening quotations was reduction of 10 cents on reds.
 The high price paid fishermen TOT salmon throughout the entire year Is responsible for the higher quotations on this years pack. It is estimated now that 9,5OO,00O cases oi salmon were packed on this coast and in normal conditions. the tendency would be toward a break m prices especially as exports are cut off tioweger he canners paid such high price for fish that they cannot rfdree prizes and get out whole. and f1e oenand for salmon

 A part of the foreign business has been filled, but the American gov. ernment has clapped on a rule for. bidding the issuance of shipping Ii. cense to salmon and the brokers are compelled to hold the fish in warehouses on this coast.
 Alaska Packers Not Hurt
