LARGE STOCK OF
PINEAPPLES IS
MUCH REDUCED
Canning Season Opens and
Packers Clear Warehouses
BY Loadinu Vessels

Stocks OF canned pineapples in the
islands, which the latter part OF, March
were estimated at half a million. and
last month as in the neighborhood OF
800 900, have been much reduced
already and will have been still fur
Their materially reduced by the middle
OF this month by shipments made In
chartered vessels. Two weeks ago 1t
was told in the Star-Bulletin that the
Hawaiian Pineapple Company had
been making shipments in chartered
vessels and would make other ship
ments in the same wav. Now II can be
announced Libby, Mcneil & Libby is
doing the same Ip this way the stock,
which was piled up mountain-high, has
been reduced to reasonable proper
tions.
II was stated at the office of Libby,
Mcneil & Libby last week that the
company had chartered the Robert
Levers and the Columbia, and the lat
ter was expected to complete loading
this week. These two vessels VIII
together carry between $4,000 and
100 900 cases. -
The Hawaiian Pineapple Company
chartered the Shasta, which is in
addition to the three vessels which
have loaded here and one that loaded
at Maui.
In this way transportation has been
obtained for an immense quantity OF
pines, and the companies do not face
the opening OF the canning season
with the trepidation they must other
wise feel. 4
Speaking of chartering vessels to.
carry their product, F. w. Macfarlane,
president of the Libby, McNeill &,
Libby company, said that this would
not have been done by any of the cam
ners If 1t had been possible for the
regular steamship lines TO furnish the
requisite space. This the steamship
companies, because of freight conges-
ton, were unable TO do. 1t became a
matter of necessity for the producers
to make the best arrangements posi-
BILE, and charters made the one way
out The demand for pines had to be
met; the way for further production
had to be cleared It was difficult, but
lit has been done. -. 49, H
Both the companies mentioned have
started the canning season, Libby, Nc
Neil & Libby starting last week, and
the cannery of the Hawaiian Pine
apple Company was running yester-
day. Both companies are looking for
ward to busy season with large
packs. =
