Mild Cured Salmon Review 



When I left Germany, on the 28th 

 of June, there was no rumor of war, 

 or any disturbance of business. We 

 heard of the assassination of the heir 

 to the Austrian throne by wireless on 

 the ocean. At that time the market 

 in mild-cured salmon just became nor- 

 mal. After a long interval, during 

 which time the market had been very 

 dull, principally on account of the large 

 quantities of Alaska salmon which 

 were small in size and partly of very 

 poor quality. To sell these salmon 

 it had been necessary to make very- 

 low prices, and 1 have heard of sales 

 of considerable quantities of these fish 

 at prices which would not net the 

 packer in Alaska two cents per pound 

 for the fresh fish. Similar sales have 

 taken place from New York to Ger-

many during the spring. The pres- 

 sure of these fish upon the price of 

 the higher grades could, of course, not 

 be avoided, hut witli the intention of 

 all the packers in Alaska to put up 

 only a very small pack, it could be ex- 

 pected that the market would improve 

 against fall. 



The Columbia river salmon were 

 practically all sold, the 191:! pack hav- 

 ing been short; this gave the packer 

 on this river the opportunity to make 

 contrails for new i 1914 1 season with 

 i heir Eastern and also their Scandi- 

 navian and German customers, while 

 it was impossible until that time to 

 raise the price for the smoked product 

 altogether the prospects were not so 

 bad when the war started, and taking 

 into consideration that the early spring 

 pack in Monterey was good, there was 

 also a good demand for Columbia river
