BIC SHIPMENTS Of
PRODUCE FROM SEATTLE

SEATTLE, January 26.-Western
avenue commission men are preparing
the biggest shipment of produce ever
sent from Seattle to the Hawaiian Is
lands. In the past Seattle commission
houses have made spasmodic efforts to
obtain this business, but poor steamer
steady trade. With better service the
Seattle houses will make a eoncen-
trated effort to cut into this trade
One of the large Western. avenue
houses has an agent at Honolulu who
viii look after the first shipments,
which consist mainly of fancy Yakima
potatoes, fancy Eastern Washington
apples and the first grade onions. The
shipment win go out on the Hyades
"All we ask in the Honolulu mar
ket is a fair trial, said one of the
biggest shippers today. ''The Seattle
market has fancier apples, better po-
tatoes and better onions than the San
Francisco We will make no effort to
compete on nuts, oranges or lemons,
but on the kinds of produce grown
here we will compete, as we have more
fancy stock than California.
The produce market was rather
quiet today. Onions were higher, the
dealers quoting Yakimas at cents per
pound and Oregon at IL cents. One
carload of Yakima onions arrived to-
day and fifty sacks of California
onions by boat.
Three more carloads of potatoes ar
rived today and the market was UNI
changed. One carload of mixed vege-
tables also arrived today. The Cali.
fornia steamer today brought 1Ss
crates of cabbage, eighty-seven drums
of vegetables, sixteen boxes of grape
fruit, thirty-six of tangerines and
| twenty-five of lemons. Tangerines
were quoted at $50 this afternoon.
