CANNED SALMON, WORTH MILLIONS, SHIPPED SOUTH SEATTLE, Aug. 8—®—Close tc 17 million dollars worth of Alaska canned salmon will arrive in Puget Sound during the next two weeks. The canned salmon is on four ships, two of which arrived on the Sound Monday. The SS Victoria ar- rived in Seattle with 42,000 cases of salmon, and the freighter Sailor’s Splice arrived at Bellingham with 96,000 cases. Bulk of the Bristol Bay pack will be brought to Puget Sound by the SS Nadina and the SS Chena. They will carry a total of 570,000 cases. ‘The Chena is due in Seattle Friday. The Nadina is expected to arrive late next week. The Victoria loaded its cargo, in- cluding 13,000 sacks of fishmeal and a quantity of cold-storage fish, at Kenai Peninsula and Prince William Sound ports. The Sailor’s Splice loaded its cargo at Kodiak Island and Cook Inlet ports. The four ships are all operated by Alaska Steamship Company. Value of the canned salmon being brought in by the vessels was fig- ured, roughly, at $24 a case. Salmon brokers said it is too early to predict a definite price per case on the new pack.
