 CLEARING BASE FUR FISH PLAN
HOPED TO STABILIZE DEMAND AND PRICES IN SEATTLE
 MARKETS

Salmon canners of Seattle will es- tablsh clearing house if plans are consummated, the object being to sta bilize demand and price. It is a com mon practice among packers, when merchants are not in the markets, to stimulate sales on the price basis, thereby unsettling the market. Can ners, so far, have eliminated brokers from the project.
 With the termination of the pack ing season, canners are giving close attention to seasonal problems of the industry. Among the new measures to be adopted is a standard contract covering all sales of salmon, so that adopted, a measure that was abandon ed some years ago.
 About 10000 cases of canned sal mon were shipped and invoiced dur ing two weeks by members of the Pacific Canned Fish Brokers associa- tion, according to F. A.
