THE SALMON TRADE.
There issuggestiveness, to us of Pugct
Sound, in the fact that demand for our
ooast salmon is increasing beyond the
capacity of the Columbia river to tup
ply, Tbat trade along the banks of the
Lower Columbia has grown to a sur
prising magnitude within the past two
years, representing a foreign export
heretofore of millions annually. Asto
ria has felt the stimulus of the new
sou roe of wealth and has rapidly grown
toward a leading position among the
commercial towns of the coast, and it
has more than supplied to Portland
bar trade in consequence of the decline
of mining activity in the " Upper Coun
try."
We have here in Pugot Sound as tine
salmon, as well as other fish, as the best
elsewhere, and we believe not less abun
dant, though running later. There are
some new enterprises under way, look
ing to the improvement of this fellow
source of wealth, but the industry is
merely inceptive as yet. Such a trade
herealong as has grown up along the
Columbia, in this important article of
commerce, would be a valuable adjunct
to our other productive industries.
Relative to this trade, a San Fran
9
ciaco exchange says:
" Early in the year, basing their cal
culations upon the pant, our commis
sion merchants have made large con
tract sales of Columbia river stiluion
for forward delivery. Extensive pre
parations are being made by the can
neries in Oregon to increase the amount
of goods to be put up, and all hands en
tered upon the season with enlarged
ideas about the size of the catch. The
run, however, was lute, and notwith
standing that at least 375,000 cases kavo
thus far been put up. our uuTclmuU*;;*
irreatly in arrears for "a at e
amount to only 207.G30 cases, and those
who sold large orders for August are
uneasy about tbe situation. Corres
pondents in New York are expressing
anxiety, as tbe following from the (iro
rtr in that city will show: 'According to
the best information, the Oregon sal
mon catch will fall short of 400,0<H)
cases. Deducting from this amount the
(Musually heavy cxportations thus far
and prospective, and we should have a
very light supply for this coast. A de
cline is now reported iu the English
markets, however which will be likely to
turn some of the present stock held
on the Pacific coast for export and
much of the future canning in this
way. This raises a contingency which
the trade are disposed to keep in view,
though most of the receivers still feel
Confident that $1 85, the highest prices
recently current here in first hands,
ntad not be receded fn>ui. There is no
stock here at present, and orders are
taken freely by tbe agents of souic of
the packers at the inside price, $1 75,
to arrive. Later authentic reports
from the other coast are awaited with
muoh interest. The trade this year
has run chiefly upon 1-Ib cans, four
doxen to the case, and tho packing of
the larger lizcs has been very small in
oon sequence.

Tbe deceased was an electrician in the

the next world. I don't think there i*
* hell anl that i* a <-omf»rt You may

perfect s':umber." Nothing is definitely
known an to the cause of the s>:icide,
hut the conduct of the deceased for
some time j>ast, and expressions con*
tamed in another p irtion of the above
letter, show great ieucy and ap
parently morbid state of mind.

LONDON, Aug. 28. —The Times this
morning has an editorial on the Bulga
rian atrocities, which concludes as fol
lows: Mr. Barring's report, and testi
mony of other official witnesses, will
have much practical value during the
negotiations which must follow the
close of the Servian war They will
give this country a go**d opportunity
of clearly defining the position it holds
with respect both to Turkey and the
(Jreat Powers. It has been said that
the Turkish Ministers are careless of
English remonstrances, because they
think England will, and must, support
Turkey, however flagrantly she may be
ruled, and hence, it is argued, she is in
directly accountable for Bulgarian mas
sacres. But it is difficult to believe so
baseless an idea can mislead shrewd
rum who direct the Turkish Empire.
