alaskan Commerce IN 1926
Valued at $lI3, 3,595 ,685; Third
Largest Year in History

Alaskan commerce in 1926 had
value of $113, ,6S5. according to
the annual statement of commerce
compiled from the L. S customs
records and made public today by
John G. Mcbride. Collector Of Gus
toms. Only twice before in the his
tory of the Territory has this figure
been exceeded, in 1917 and 1918
under wartime conditions and
prices.
The gain for the year over 1925
was $1S.172.439. Outbound ship
ments were valued last year at $S1,
1861, as compared to $62,223,737
for the preceding Il months The
value of incoming shipments was
S32.161, ,034, leaving balance of
trade in favor of the Territory that
amounted to $49,273,617 an in
crease CT $20,249,393 over 1925.
Many Commodities Gain
Gains We're made Dy every indus
try except mining which showed a
slight define as result of the de-
crease in the market price OF cop
per ore. The fisheries industry's
production was worth $56,57S,726,
the largest in ten years Gold and
silver production increased $57S,-
100 over 1925: the lumber industry
$10S,9 ,9S5; the output of the marble
quarries about $4,000; canned sal
mon $19.5 ,45S; fish meal and oil
more than $3.50. 200; fresh or frozen
fish SS90.000.
Decreases We're experienced in the
production of all varieties of cured
fish, cod, herring and salmon. There
was a very small decrease in fur
shipments. Copper ore shipments
declined i'll value $757.562 but the
tonnage of production was virtually
unchanged. The loss in herring pro-
duction was attributed to poor runs
in Southwest Alaska where most of
the herring salteries are located.
Placer Mining Gains
Shipments of domestic gold and
silver during 1926 amounted to So
160,942, as compared to $5,6S2,S42,
gaining $47S.100 over the previous
year In spite of the fact that
placer mining was badly handicap
ped in many sections by a shortage
of water. occasioned by lack of rain
fall early in the operating season,
the production of placer gold show
ed a marked increase. Most note
worthy gains, said Mr.. Mcbride,
were shown in Seward Peninsula
and Fairbanks districts.
Record of Travel
, Commenting on the travel during
the year, the report said
THE number of persons arriving
in Alaska during 1926 was 3O,974.
The departures totaled 30,934, rep
resenting nearly the total of ar
rivals. The total arrivals, however,
are known to be in excess of the
figures shown as large number of
cannery employees are brought to
the Territory in private vessels be-
