BRITISH COLUMBIA OPENING PRICES 



The packers of British Cokimbia and the United States both sel 

 a considerable portion of their high-grade sahnon abroad, and the 

 competition thus engendered compels a fairly close conformity in 

 prices. On salmon sold in the domestic markets, however, thf 

 competition is not so keen; hence there is room for a considerable 

 diversity of opinion as to values. Unlike the United States, there 

 is a very small market in Canada for chum salmon, and it has only 

 been in recent years that opening prices have been fixed on this 

 grade.
