FOREIGN BUYING OF
SALMON IS HURRYING
CLEAN-UP OF PACKS
Out of the doldrums at last, the
great salmon industry of the
Northwest and Alaska is beginning
to feel the impetus of increased
business, shipping men say.
Great Britain, the countries of
foreign buying soon will be hn
£c.er a fhll spread of sail. Seattle
Europe, including France, the Ne
therlands, Switzerland. Germany,
the nations bordering on the Med
iterranean. Australia, New Zealand
and Ceylon are in the market
Statistics made public by the
Merchants Exchange of Seattle
show that foreign exports of can
ned salmon from Puget Sound for
t he 11 months ended December 1
totalled 340.000 cases compared
with 302.103 cases the same period
in 1931. an increase of 38,423 cases.
“Men who go down to the sea in
sailing ships refer to zones of calm
as the doldrums.’’ said a salmon
( broker. ‘ The term then was used
for variable and uncertain winds
and depression in spirits and final
ly the dumps, so we may sav the
salmon industry is coming out of
the dumps.”
SALMON MOVEMENT IS GOOD
Brokers agreed there is a very
good movement of salmon from the
• Northwest this year. Unsold stocks
today are much lower than they
were in July. 1931. On June 30 this

year, there were 1,082,000 cases of
unsold pinks. Today thete are less
than 1.000,000 cases. Thfere was a
heavy pack of reds this year and
consequently large stocks, but less
than 900,000 cases remain today.
The cities of the Atlantic sea
board were the largest domestic
buyers of Puget Sound and Alaska
canned salmon during the 11
months. The East coast took 2,
075,748 cases, California, 191,074
cases; Hawaii, 16,873 cases, and
Puerto Rico, 11,565 cases.
MANY CARGOES LIFTED
Canned salmon has been moving
out of the big salmon terminals of
| the Port Commission at Smith Cove
in a steady stream. So far this
year the terminals have received
2.125.000 cases and have shipped 1,
700.000 cases to various markets.
On hand at the terminals are 800,
000 cases, some of which is carry
over from last year. The Dutch
motorship Damsterdyk of the Hoi- j
land-American Line, loaded 8,000 j
cases of canned salmon for the 1
United Kingdom at the terminals.
The steamship J. L. Luckenbach
loaded 15,000 cases for the Atlantic
coast, and the steamship Point Sur
lifted 5,000 cases for Gulf of Mex
ica ports at the terminals. The
steamship Montanan of the Ameri
can-Hawaiian Steamship Company
was taking aboard 16.000 cases of
! canned salmon for the Atlantic
I coast.

IUSU CLOSES THE
CHLENDtH YEiR WITH
$271,433.40 "KITTY"
The Territory of Alaska closed
its calendar year with almost as
much money in its treasury as it
had at the end of 1931. and none
of its funds were in the red, it
was revealed by Territorial Treasu
rer Walstein G. Smith at Juneau.
The gross cash balance on De
cember 31 'was $271,433.46. This;
compares to $298,920.92 on Decern- j
ber 31, 1931.
The net cash balance was small- ,
er proportionately than the one'
of a year ago. December 31, 1932, i
there were outstanding warrants;
in the sum of $31,480.06. leaving a ;
net balance on hand of $239,953.40.;
j At the close of the year’s busi- |
' ness in 1931, the net balance was j
$265,363-84. I
Preliminary tax payments this j
year w^ere approximately $17,000:
less than a year ago. Prior to De- j
cember 31, 1931, tax payments due!
until after the first of 1932 had
been made amounting to about
$37,000. Similar payments last De
cember totaled less than $20,000.
It is probable that the treasury
balance will have been increased
to about $500,000 by March 1. Last
! year the balance was $413,444.29 on
; that date.
i There was a heavier red salmon
pack in 1932 than in 1931, and
taxes from that source which
normally are largely paid by March
1, or the middle of the month, pro
bably will be larger than last year’s
receipts.
Since the greater portion of the
Territory’s revenues is derived from
the salmon industry, mostly from
pack taxes, it Ls not possible to
estimate with any degree of accu
racy the amount due from last
year’s operations.

To me, they are mild—that is, they
(don’t seem to be strong; and there is
certainly no bite, so far as I can tell.
To me, they taste better and they
have a pleasing aroma.
