suicides among women may be due
to the fact that so MANY have recent

largely to the situation.

The Market
BY Rex Stewart

The price of fresh salmon took
an increase to 80 cents a pound
today due to the shortage. Cold
storage stuff is on the market
but is hardly preferable to the
freshly caught fish when obtain
able.
In spite of the large shipment
of Australian butter received in
San Francisco yesterday, and
which beat the price down there
considerably, the quotations of
Portland and Salem remain the
same. There will perhaps be an
endeavor to keep the price up here
as long as possible before any
change is made.
New Year turkey buying is
slack. There are few birds being
offered, though dealers state that
they will take everything at pre-
vious prices. Producers can hard
ly expect a higher price since
some merchants in Portland were
unable to dispose Of their entire
