 'It would appear from tho way the fresh fish are going througa Prince Rupert" he continued, "that the Can- adian port is the logical point to han de the eastbound movement of this product. 1t is close to the fishing banks. The American transportation companies arc willing. however, to do their part in an effort to retain the business in Seattle. Fifty carloads of fresh fish are now going through Prince Rupert every month.
 "Conditions in Southeastern Alaska are very good. There is much excite ment at Wrangell over the new camp ln the Sdkine district. While ! was in the North, Prince Rupert's new drydock was placed in commission. Ii is Q splendid dock, capable of rais ing 2O,OOO-ton steamship. ."-( Seattle Times.)

The spirit Of economy In operations Is prevailing everywhere. It is said that the cotton of tho South will cost less to produce than it has for years
 Domestic trade has been largely sidetracked because of the pressing demand of Europe. but this cannot continue much longe.. The necessi- ties have been growing and the time Is coming when they must be satis- fled.
 There is only favorable comment to be heard regarding the Anglo-French ioan- The private subscriptions have been astonishingly large. SO large in fact, that many Of the banking instI- tutions have naturally increased their own subscriptions.
 Some bankers are at Q loss to know how the international loan will finally affect the money market. But the best judges doubt # it dlsturbs the rates materially. There will undoubt- edly be much shifting of balances but the money will remain in tho country and finally find its way back to the biz centers
