SK VITLK-ALASKA TltADE
Seattle, the gateway of Alas
ka, will serve tho great northern
territory with thiity steamships
dorian the present season. From
a saiall beginning, witlf a strong rl
v»li> l'rom. other ports, the steam
shin business has steadily* tended
to ctiitmlize here until Seattle now
t'uiiiii fs the only regular freight
aej patseuger service to Alaska,
emj-ioylug in th's bt'hali a great
of modern steamships.
A feature of the growth of the
business during the past few yea-rs,
us-ilf from the freight traffic, has
bveu the patronaga of the tourists.
Lasi seikiim the Alaska ships had
use for every foot of tier avail
able fissenger accommodations dur
ing tie months of greatest travel.
This at.-. ;Ou tht^ro *'.il be five new
mo ! passenger- ships, in addi
tion to th_- recently acquired freight
carriers. Tourist! may now make
the northern trip w'th every com
tVrt and couvenieac* that may be
ortained ou any aor. route in the
world. . *
'i ";e construction of the govern
ment railway, the movement of
settlers, tho great Increase in the
output of he minei the great pro
ductive .wakening o' the territory,
will furnish this s-nisou the great
est traffic that 'ho Seattle-Alasffca
trade has ever knorn. With the
ixin.i-p fleets, Seutle could clear
one ship a day in be northern ser
vice, with the prospect of ample
business for a daily schedule.
Of ; 11 tho elem.nts of pros
perity within Sd.-.ttle's vision
for It1. 6, none is m>re encouraging,
mo.-f promising of present and fu
ture- progress than ;fce Seattle-Alas
ka trade.—Seattle i . I.
WEEK IN BUSINESS
The prosperity story told by the
commercial ageuiclcs, week after
week has become almost monoton
oiis in its record cf steady expan
sion of business *n every direction;
of increasing consumption and 13
creaains; profits. The only excep
tion which the reports of the past
I week show to those of preceding
; weeks is that soma slight conserva
; tiOu is visible and, \\liile legitimate
! orders are as uameious as ever,
' there is no tendency toward any
speculative commitments.
P is a gratifying symptom, at a
j time of unprecedented business ac
I tivlty, and while there is still the
| soundest confideucu that the pres
' ent record breakin.; achievements in
product! u and distribution are to
bo surpassed in the near future
janj that nothing can seriously
1 chec'c the present almost abnormal
j prosperity of the country.
The present conservatism finds
; evidence in attempts to check 'the
I rising tendency of prices in the
steel industry as well as in the tex
tile markets and o'her leading lines.
Some buyers are 'ntlined to hold off
on »he theory that the advance in
priccs is not just'fled and that a
reaction may coma. Nevertheless,
in the main demands seem insati
able and manufacturers have had,
of necessity, to tun many ■ orders
away.
Almost without exception mills,
| shops and factories are crowdcd to
their utmost capacity, and over
time is in force wherever it is
possible. Operatiour are-hampered
practically by but two things, the
difficulty in getting adequate sup
ol'es of raw material and the grow
