The Seattle Merchants' Exchange ;‘:2!;: lted in the statement that will be less than a 10 per cent of “chums” and “pinks” in southeastern Alaska in 1921 as com- pared with former years. As the pack of 1921 virtually will be limited to red fish, bankers and packers pre- dict a shortage of supply. Not in years has a situation paral- leling the present one presented it- self in the salmon canning industry. Of the eighty-three canneries in Southeastern Alaska in operation last year it is expected that no #ore than ten will pack this year, as the cost of canning the lower-priced grades is fully 50 per cent in excess of pres- ent market prices. The curtailment of the 1921 pack will accomplish the absorption of the present surplus, now selling through- out the country at 40 per cent less than 1920 prices, and a much-needed conservation in the supply of salmon. Awalting Shipping Policy. Exporters and importers in the Pa- cific northwest, as well as shipping concerns,_are awaiting statement of a definite policy by the new administra. tion relative to the Shipping Board reorganization and allocation of ves- sels.

St. Louis Trading Slow:* Crop Outlook Favorable BY J. VION PAPIN. Special Dispatch to The Star. ST. LOUIS, March 1l.—Develop- ments in general business in this dis-| trict since the 1st of March have been of a negative character. In distribu- tive lines, with the exceptionof drugs and a few other specialties, the vol- ume of orders being received is some- what disappointing. _Leading dry goods houses, however, report that stocks of retailers are reaching a point where replenishment cannot ! longer be delayed, and during the| past week there is more of a disposi- tion to fill out assortments and com- plete broken lines. Considerable effort is still . being made to take advantage of the low price of live stock and feed to aug- ment herds. As was the case earl in the season, however, farmers hav ing this objective want to do their| buying with bank money rather than | to sell what they have in the way of | products and devo‘e the cash to live stock investment. Virtually all advices received rela- tive to the growing wheat crop are favorable. The amount of winter damage was unusually light, due to generally low and fairly uniform tem- | peratures. 4 Building Is Still Checked. Feeds continue in indifferent de- mand. Building has not opened up, Architects report they have their! Portfolios full of plans and specifica- tions, but their principals are un- willing to begin work now in view of unfavorable labor and material markets. Outside of lumber, reduc-i tions in materials going into building have been insignificant to date. The flour milling industry has re- duced wages horizontally 10 to 15 per cent, and lumber and furniture inter- ests’ have reduced extensively. In other industries there have been re- ductions, but mainly in the form of individual cuts and rehiring at lower price.

Special Dispatch to The Star. i PHILADELPHIA, March 11.—The Pennsylvania hard coal country is the brightest spot on tne industrial map. In the anthracite mines and breakers are employed 150,000 men who are working regularly, except as they chance to lay off for a holiday, at the highest wages oveér paid for their particular kind of work. In the hard coal regions the labor problem is not to combat a reduc- tion of wages, but to oppose an increase. With prohibition in effect and a les- son learned from the excesses and ex- travagance of 1919 and 1920, the anthra- cite miners h: extremely thrifty and they are putting awa ings in the banks. But they are buy i freely and paying cash to with the result that dis- anthracite region are nd_have funds stocks. tributers in the unusually prosperous with which to replen These conditions have drawn to the anthracite region a host of traveling salesmen which embraces many mem- bers of firms who are out to get bu: ne Hotels in such towns as Haze ton are overcrowded, being utterly un- able to take care of the traveling pub. lic, and the overflow is being taken care of 'in private homes.

NEW YORK, March 11.—The United States still is at the mercy of Ger- man chemists, according to Joseph H. Choate, jr., counsel for the €hemical Foundation. In an address to New England women at the Waldorf As- toria Mr. Choate advocated the li- censing of the importation of dyes, and the exclusion of German dyes. He declared that American industries producing $3,000,000,000 worth of goods annually use coal tar colors, and it was important that these in- dustries no longer should depend upon Germany. “There is another vital phase to this question,” said Mr. Chaote. “The dve industry is interchangeable with the explosive industry.
