Situation Now Looks
Much Brighter For Packers

j.. s. MARBLE, representative of the
British canteen and British ministry OF
shipping was in the city today looking
over the prune packing plants and be-
coming familiar with packing copdi
tons in the valley.
At a meeting held in Portland Satur-
day between Mr.. MARBLE and the prune
packing plants of the valley, the gen
eral situation was gone over, and from
now on, it is hoped there will be no UNI
necessary delays in the shipment OF
orders.
The government has made the allot-
ment of prunes to the British canteen
and through MI. MARBLE, contracts have
been handed to the packers, with ship
ping instructions. Already arrange.
ments have been made for the shppi,.g
of part of the English allotment and
provision made for inspectors.
The Drager Fruit company will begin
shipments of part of the English allot-
ment the latter part of this week. AT.
ter a shipment is made, the bill Of
lading must be sent to J. P. Morgan
& Company, New York city, Englsn
representatives, and it will require
about eight days for the proper audit
ing of the bill of lading and invoice
there. Then the check for each ship.
ment will be forwarded, requiring four
or five days in transit.
1t has been figured that after a bill
Of lading is forwarded to New York, it
will require at least two weeks before
the money is received here. No sight
drafts with bill of lading attached are
permitted against the United States or
English government.
