Concern
Is
felt
here
among

over
the
uncertainty
of
the
prospect
presented
by
the

In

to

enquiry
sent

agent

the

Brotherhood
of
British
Columbia,
concerning

extent
of

pvej

salmon
prices
for
the

season,
a
letter
was
received
stating
that
the
government
has
already
put
a
ceiling
on
salmon
prices
and
that
nothing
can
be
done
about
it.
The
letter
did
not
state
what
prices
had
been
set.

However,
it
is
expected
here
that
the
scale
.will

similar
to
the
one
set
for
last

and
there
is
an
atmosphere

gloom
over
the

for

salmon
was
12
V?

a

and
the

was
5Vi

That
gave
the

66
