OUTLOOKFOR
LARGE FISH
PACK POOR
VANCOUVER, Feb. 3
British Columbia salmor;
packers are anything but op
timistic about the future o.
the salmon canning busines.
at least for the season, 1921.
and many prophesy that les
chan fifty per cent of the.
canneries will be operating
chis year.
Irresponsible reports have
ieea coming in for some
:mie from different source
iiat the caimers had sold ai.
;xcept about 150,000 cases Oi
:hums and pinks and that
hese would be disposed of at
m early date. An actual can
as of the market yesterday
ovealed that there are over
00,000 cases of the lower
rades of fish in cans in
iritish Columbia, with nc
irospect of moving any at
n early date.
While a few inquiries have
een received from the Euro
ean markets the majority
jf the canners think these
re only feelers as no busi
ness was done, and the latest
eports From Great Britain
are to the effect that the
J apanese steamers have land
>d over 100,000 cases of Si
erian red salmon on the
British market and are ask
ng prices on par with the
j Pacific Coast Sockeye
The report from the fish
I buying circles of Britain are
j to the effect that as much4of
■thissalmon is going into
storage the wholesaler there
who has an ample supply of
sockeye on hand to run him
several month? is going to
et the Japanese fish stand
here until the price comes
lown to a level where it will
be profitable for him to buy.
it is contended by these buy
ns that the slightest panic
n Japan would cause the
fapanese to liquidate on the
ish and it is expected that
;uch unloading would have a
endency to drop the canned
Pish market in general. _
Breaking in high priced
‘oods can clean the margin
f profit off in a short time
nd the tumble is hard, there
ore the canners of British
Columbia are loath to spent/
such money on preparation
-0r the 1921 canning season.
The Alaska reports are no
letter as a prominent can
leryman from the Sputher
ection of the country who
vas in the city this week
tated that there was ninety
:anneries in the southern
lart of Alaska, but only
.bout fifteen would be oper
ating this next season.

and those that do operate
will do so entirely on sock
