SERVING THE ALASKA FUR SHIPPER SINCE 1901
CANKDIIIN GOLD IS SENT
TO SEKTTLE TO PROFIT
FROM U. S. EXCHANGE
The depreciation of Canadian
exchange, or putting the case con
versely, the appreciation of the
American dollar, has had the effect
on diverting to the Seattle assay
office during recent months, such
a large amount of British Colum
bia gold that the total handled this
year by the local institution will be
$1,000,000 or more larger than the
volume of 1930.
The Seattle assay office pays for
the British Columbia gold at the
rate of $20.67 an ounce. Because
American dollars are at a premium
of 12 to 16 per cent, as compared
with Canadian currency, the ship
per in British Columbia gets the
benefit of this appreciation when
he purchases exchange in Seattle
I with the money he receives for his
yellow treasure from the Seattle
assay office.
Gold from the province, which
formerly was shipped to the Ca
nadian government mint at Otta
wa or to the Dominion assay office
at Vancouver, now is being routed
to the assay office in Seattle for
the good and sufficient reason that
Canadian gold, as measured in
terms of Canadian currency, is
worth more in Seattle than in Ot
tawa or Vancouver.
The Seattle assay office last year
received gold from Alaska, the Pa
cific Northwest and British Colum
bia aggregating something less than
$9,000,000 in value. With the final
month of 1931 nearing its half-way
mark, the indications are that the
total for 1931 will run well over
$10,000,000.
There also has been an increase
in the amount of the yellow metal
arriving here from Alaska but the
movement from British Columbia,
• according' to statements by Seat
tle assay officials, has been the out
standing feature of shipments ever
since Canadian exchange started
to decline.
