FRESH SALMON. 



The trade in fresh salmon in Alaska declined markedly in 1920 as 

 compared with 1919, a condition doubtless (hie to the shortened 

 supply and the t^reater demand for salmon by the canneries. As 

 heretofore, this business w;is carried on almost wholly in south- 

 eastern Alaska and by operators more particularly engaged in other 

 branches of the fishery industry. The bulk of the trade was repre- 

 sented by the business of the firms li.sted below :
