PeSSimism Plus
 Suspicion

Pessimism tempered with hope and patience describes the Jap anese attitude toward the Lon don naval conference, which be- gans it's second week of barley. Pessimism plus suspicion of oth- e. powers motives, especially those of America and Great Brit ain, are strongly reflected in newspaper comments. Eager ness to accept hopeful signs and a willingness to await patiently a slow solution of the problems listed in the conference agenda are largely the result of official efforts to guide public opinion.

Canneryman Favors Weekly
 Closed Season

MT. w. F. COulson, we'll known Alaska salmon packer, stopped ever a few hours in Petersburg last with with the big Far West Fisheries cannery tender Mary Ellen" while on scouting trip for some needed equipment.
 Interviewed by a representa- i've of The ALASKAN, MT. Cou1- son expressed himself heartily !n favor of the proposed salmon regulation which we have been urging for some time, namely, that the seasonal closed season tc abolished and an increased weekly closed period be adopted rackers' standpoint, MT. Coulson stated that such a plan would " Ork uut to the benefit of every body concerned for it would pro- mote a uniform run throughout tie season and give the packers more time in which to get up their pack. That while it would increase the period of operation it would not increase the expense Gs the men on the canning lines could be used in the warehouse turing the closed days thus elim- i7.ating the additional labelling and boxing crew during the short season under the present Elan.
 Speaking against recently proposed regulation which has provoked wide discussion where oy the salmon stream would be removed, he cited the Stikine River as a case in point we'll known to local fishermen. Many varieties of salmon run in this river coming at different periods, their seasons overlapping. Owing 10 the muddiness of the water, lL would be ridiculous to allow ail the sockeyes to escape and pack all humpbacks and echoes which come later, while the weekly closing plan would pro- vide for a uniform and scientif- ic eScapement of all varieties.
 The Far West Fisheries oper- ate canneries at Point Warde end Cordova and may operate a floating cannery in Icy Straits this season.

Elfendahl Admits the Need Fish Regulation

Victor H. Elfendahl, president Cf the Association of Pacific Fisheries strongly commended the Canadian salmon conserva- ton policy which was outlined by s. L. Howe of the British Co., lumbia Fisheries.
 we think We have inauger- ated notable conservation meas ures," Mr. Elfendahl declared, but we have only started, judging by this Canadian action. Developments north of the line are significant in the extreme .rd are causing us to devote se- rious thought to the various rhases and implications involv- ed.
 Through many years the As ,ociation has been active and aggressive in it's support of the measures and regulations spons- ored by the Federal Bureau of fisheries, and it may be that much more advanced measures X conservation will be necessary 10 keep step with the policy adopted in British Columbia waters.
 To Limit Canneries
 MT. Howe outlined three "sali- cnt features" of the situation in his province: The supply of fish las been diminishing, earnings of fishermen have been shrink ing, manufacturers are not mak- ing an adequate return On in- TeStment.

Volume Falls Off Sharply.
Convertible Issues Show

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 28.-Trading on
the bond market today was marked by
big decrease in volume. From total
dropped under the 10000, 900 level and
floor conditions were reminiscent of the
near-stagnation experienced last year:
The chief factor was the withdrawal OF
the speculative element to get into the
stock market.
In the dizziness thus produced, prices
fiuctuated irregularly, the prime group
remaining unchanged or advancing
fractionally along with most OF the
junior rails, and the semi-speculatlVe
industrial issues and foreign dollar
credits ranging lower.
Under the influence of the strength
in stocks, convertible bonds were strong.
American Telephone convertible 412s led
this section with a steady CLIMB. Other
gains were made by Allegheny SIS,
American Internationally s Commercial
Investment Trust 51as, Philadelphia &
Reading Coal g. Iron IS and Texas
Corporation SIS.
In the high-grade group there was
q steady investment demand. This was
reflected in small improvements made
by AtchiSon General Is, Canadian Nae
tional SIS, Canadian Pacific As, Union
Pacific First As, Northern Pacific As,
American Telephone 51as, Duquesne
Light 415s and United States Govern
ment obligations.
Junior issues of the carriers were the
only group that could be said to be
active Chicago 81 Eastern Illinois SIS,
st. Paul Adjustments, Erie Refunding
SIS, MisSouri-Paciflc As and Western
Maryland As appeared most often on
the tape, but their prices were prae-
tically unchanged. Florida East Coast
5lzs, a rare seller, jumped 2 points to
new high for the year. International
Great Northern Adjustments improved
a point, also to a new high.
Seaboard Airline adjustments gained
"a points. Small declines were shown
by Chicago & Great Western As, Rock
Island 412S, Denver q Rio Grande
Western SIS, Frisco AIS, Southern Rail-
way IS, Texas & Pacific &C" SIS and
Boston 81 Maine IS.
The industrial group was dull and
lower with the exception of the traction
issues, which made fractional gains.
Strength in a few central European
descriptions, notably Italian loans, and
generally lower tendency marked the
foreign department.

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
/. IN IRON AND STEEL
Improved Auto Demands and
Springs Approach Are
Chief Factors.

Moderate expansion in. sales of pig
iron and specifications for finished steel,
improved sentiment in the automotive
industry and approach of the season
when outdoor work is resumed in the
Northern States brighten the outlook in
iron and steel perceptibly this week,
says Iron Trade Review, Cleveland.
The fact that production of steel is
not giving further ground, holding at
about "a per cent, is regarded as en-
couraging. Producers and consumers
alike continue cautious and are modest
in their expectations, but the feeling is
widespread that both production and
demand have turned the corner and
may be expected to improve slightly
over the next few weeks.
Most automotive manufacturers have
adopted heavier schedules for April
and a few have specified accordingly.
resulting in heavier output Of hieh-fin.
ished sheets this week. Actual building
steel awards have fallen of, but speci-
f1cations against recent lettings are
brisk. Plate demand at Chicago is suf-
flc1ent to provide plate mills q small
backlog. In strip and wire bookings
are not shrinking further, also a good
omen.
Price Situation Fairly Firm.
The price situation in pio iron and
semi finished steel appears fairly firm,
but in scrap further weakness has de-
veloped and in the finished steel lines
some concessions are noted. Flat-rolled
steel producers quota lions for April de-
livery to the automotive industry are on
! par with the low levels of the first
quarter. While 1875, Pittsburgh is the
basis for most transactions in bars,
plates and shapes, 100 shows a tend
ency to be designated more freely.
March freight car orders, estimated
at $500, bring the flrst quarter total to
about 27,100, contrasted with 4l,l63 in
the flrst quarter of 1929 and 1883 In
the opening quarter of 1928 However,

be considered, the 1880 movement has
equaled that Of 1929.
Ford Motor Co. is expected to close
this week on its inquiry for $50, 900 tons
OF iron ore, opening the Lake Superior
market for 1880 earlier than expected.
LAST years prices are understood to
