SEATTLE CUTTHROATS
Leading Firm of Fischer Brothers
 Makes a Courteous Denial.
Seattle, February g.

Seattle, February g. EDITOR DAILY ALASEAN-We note tn the issue ot Feb. I3 of vOur valued paper a few remarks made by Mr. Phil Abra- hams, of vour city, concerning the method in which the Seattle wholesalers get their trade in the north, viz: seattle whole salers have not only got the cream of the interior trade. but have at the same time cut the throat of Sl<agway retailers and of their own town by Slling to consumers at retail prices. This practice is a stigma on the SO called wholesale houses Of Seattle. They are to be denounced in the roundest way"
 Ridiculous as this statement Is. We feel thai lt should.not go uneoueeted, as dis> tor;ed and miSStated statements often miS' lead those unaequalnted with the true facts. The Klondlk. Ush In the fall Of 'o7 came upon the Seattle people so sud- denly that the retailers were unable to cope with the demand. especially as thev were just recupeIating from long period of depression and the wholesale groeers were obliged to come to their rescue. During 'oS the jobbing houses did little or no outhtting, as it was then in the hands of large retailers and mammoth outfltting houses. These outiitting houses had to stand the brunt Of severe eompeti- ti.n with Victoria and Vancouver and had they not been supported bv the jooblng houses, trade would have been diverted from Seattle. Immediately the heavy pressure of the rush was removed, trade sought it's regular channels and has re- mained there ever since.
 The wholesale grocery houses Of Seattle, Portland and Tacoma, 10 say nothing of san Francisco, were all prlctieing the same policy and consequently were all equally interested in seeing the trade centralized in their respective citie>.
 In conclusion we would state, speaking not only fer ourselves but for the jobbinG houses in general. that they have done every thing in their power to promote and advance the interests of Skagwav, by en- abline her merchants to get goods eSpe' ditiously and at rroper prices. with the result that today SkagwaY is becoming | the center from which goods can be most expeditiouslv drawn 70 the interior : Our interests are SO closely allied with Skagway thlt you tan depend upon us tc exert every effort to maintain a relation snip that effects us both so nearly.
 Trusting that our remarks will be taken in the spirit intended, namely, to correct a wrong impression, we are, etc.
