F. Svensson, field superintendent for | Libby, McNeill and Libby, who is here today enroute tv Kenai afterf his company’s Southeast | Alaska plants. He is accompanied ter Gloria. ! He inspected the plants at Yaku- | tat, Taku Harbor, Craig, Petersburg and George Inlet, and will pro-| {ceed westward tomorrow to visit' the Kenai plant, returning here about July 27. ! Indications Favorable ! Indications for a good pack are favorable, Capt. Svensson said. His company is operating at normal in this district, employing all local labor possible. All of the Libby canneries in Southeast Alaska are ) well up to expectations although| the heaviest part of the packing season is yet to come. Although prices of canned sal- mon have not improved, sales are encouraging. In the past six months the volume has been un- cxcelled in the history of the in- Stocks on hand from last year’s pack diminished 1,196,239 cases of forty - eight one-pound cans.

Rate Pleases Those figures were made avail- able yesterday by officers of the National Canners’ Association.and the Association of Pacific Fisher- ies, based on the latest Government reports on the industry. William Calvert; Chairman of the Pacific National Bank and Presi- dent of the San Juan. Fishing and | Packing Company, said that in his forty years experience in the fish- eries industry he had never seen |salmon go into consumption at so encouraging a rate as it had this year. “The salmon being sold is being eaten,” Calyert said. ‘“Merchants who are buying are not stocking up, have been taking only enoigh to replace goods sold. Buying has been literally hand-to-mouth, so the packers feel sales have actually diminished the carry-over until it is only normal and healthy surplus, in no wise a handicap to sales of this years’ catch.” Back to Normal The average for - five years of | salmon on hand January 1.is 1,645, 253 cases. Last January 1 stocks on hand were 2,069,770 caseés. The five-year average of cases on hand as of July 1 is 846,123 cases. This July 1 tibre were 863,581 cases. The five-year average of sales in the- first six months is 799,130 cases. This last half year, as stated, sales. totaled 1,196,239 cases. Sales in' the' first half of this year, therefore, are practically 50 per cent ahead of the average.
