R du torage stocks and curtail production on the Atlantic Coast Prospects in i because of the prevalence of stormy | increas- | weather should make for prices for Alaska catches. This favorable outlook is taken| by Wallis S. George, President of the Juneau Cold Storage Com- pany, but notwithstanding the: promising fac! he adds that be no definite predic- thc{ were lower in the past year than in any previous year in the his- tory of the Juneau Cold Storage. Halibut figures in the East are fairly good now. I attribute this improvement to decreased storage stocks and to the bad weather on the Atlantic Coast which has greatly hampered fishing opera- tions. While present market con- ditions are favorable, nevertheless it is too early to forecast with any accuracy what they will be when the halibut fishing season begins later this month and fresh fish catches are offered.” The Juneau Cold Storage here and at Sitka in 1932 handled 3,- 00,000 pounds of fish—king and silver salmon, halibut, and black cod. E. E. Engstrom, representing the Sebastian-Stuart Fish Com- pany, of Seattle and the Fulton Fish and Oyster Company of Chi- cago bought and shipped approx- imately 500,000 pounds—salmon and halibut. Amount For 1931 In 1931, the Cold Storage at Ju- neau alone handled 3,568,000 pounds. Some of the fish received in the | past year by the Cold Storage was purchased by it on its own account ' and disposed of by it. The rest was bought for both Pacific and | Atlantic Coast concerns for which the Cold Storage is agent. | In the last twelve months, the! | Cold Storage has mild-cured more {fish than ever before, its aggre- gate being close to 900 tierces. All this mild-cured fish was taken by the Atlantic and Pacific Pack- ing Company of Brooklyn, N. Y. “The Cold Storage has no hali- (but holdings either here or at Sitka now,” Mr. George said. “The only storage stock in Juneau is; |a considerable quantity of Kking| |and silver salmon. All of this has been sold, and is awaiting ship- | ping instructions.” i !
