With
a
total
of
only
189,900
pounds
being
landed,
halibut
prices
at
Prince
Kupert
sank
to
a
discouragingly
low
level
during
the
week
ending
yesterday
and
many
of
the
Canadian
boat
owners
are
talking
of
tying
their
craft
up
until
market
conditions
for
their
product
should
improve
somewhat.
However,
most
of
the
boats
have
decided
to
!
make
one
more
trip
before
taking
such
action.
The
week's
landings
included
103,400
pounds
of
Canadian
fish
and
86.500
pounds
of
American.
To
tal
landings
for
the
season
up
to
and
Including
yesterday
amounted
to,
330,450
pounds
of
which
210,950
pounds
had
been
brought
in
by
Ca
nadian
vessels
and
119,500
pounds
by
American.
High
price
of
the
week
for

fish
was
5.5c

3c

the
low,
4c

The
top
price
of
the
week
for
American
fish
was
7.6c

3c
and
the
low,

The

can
hardly
profit
at
such
prices.

Prices
During
the

of
the

only
a
very
small
amount
of
halibut
was
landed
at
Seattle

were
paid
for
it
In

was
brought
in

the
prices
ranged
from
18c
