Loss Is $564,259
The loss for the month as com
pared to December 1926 was $546,259.
The decreases in copper and canned
salmon more than cover the entire

halibut, herring and furs.
Copper shipments were $274,287 be
low those of December 1926. Canned
sclmon dropped $308,817, making the
total loss for these two commodities
alone $583,104.
Halibut gained about $25,000, herr
ing $50^000, mild-cured salmon $25,
000 aDd furs about $24,000. Other
commodities were about the same as
in December, 1926.
