 The resolution was tabled, 14S to 1Ib.

QUICK SERVICE
MAY Benefit

"a 35-day service to London would
not, think, have any great imme-
date effect on the local pineapple in
dustry," said T. II. Petrie this morn
ing, speaking of the American-lla-
waiian service. This Is due to the
fact that we have no market for our
pines in London, and we at present
are able to ship them there at rate
of about sixty cents case. although,
of course. 3j-day service would be
an advantage.
THE fact is that Singapore Is ut
present supplying the London mar
ket, and 1t is able to sell its product
at about half the price of that which
we charge. This is due to the fact
that they have cheap labor and ev-
crything else is cheap there. Fur
thermore, in exporting our goods t.
Il foreign market we have the tarin
on tin operating against us, an addi-
tional source of expense.
However. | believe that in time
with such a steamer service, We
might work up good market In Lon.
don for our pines, as they are far
superior in quality to those from
Singapore, and there are many peo'
pie on the continent and in England
who are willing to pay good price
to get the best goods"
