Salmon pack buyers view prices as favorable amid expected shortages
The article notes that buyers confirmed orders at $1.10 to $1.17 for salmon, citing a coast-wide shortage of 500,000 to 700,000 cases and strong market position. It suggests large buyers have been active while outside packers moved earlier. Prices are seen as low given demand, with potential price rises on unsold stock and uncertain impact of added Alaska red salmon costs on consumption, especially among middle and lower classes.

Tourists Stranded as Paris Aid Drags On

Dr Hill of Salem, trustee of the Christian Missionary Society, downplays the affair but confirms $80 tied up and outdated railway coupons, with the agency denying further aid.
