period from August 3 to August
11, according to shipments already
discharging and advance reports
on vessels heading for Seattle.
The golden harvest is being brot
down to Seattle by 17 ships in the
brief period of nine days, and re
presents the largest total ever to
be handled over a similar period in j
many years.

salmon started with the arrival of
the Otsego of the Libby McNeill

The remaining 700,000 odd cases
are mixed with shipments from
Bristol Bay, Bering Sea points, and
Southwestern Alaska, with a large
percentage being high priced fish.
