m COMMERCE
j OF TERRiTORY
! flflOVE AVERAGE
TOTAL OUTBORNE SHIPMENTS
i WORTH $67,500,000; FIGURES
INCOMPLETE
Alaska commodities, including
jgold and silver, but not certain fur
shipments, shipped to the states
during 1929 aggregated in round
figures $67,500,000, according to un
official estimates based on month
to month Custom House reports is
sued during the year. By mail
'shipments of fur and the Pribilof
| Islands seal take yet to be added
| should bring the total for the year
; to about $70,000,000.
j Only four times in the Territory’s
| history has this figure been ex
ceeded—1917, 1918, 1926 and 1928,
i making last year rank fifth.
WELL ABOVE AVERAGE
It is well above the average for
the oast decade, which was about
$56,000,000. It fell short of the mark
■ established in 1928, $74,227,334,
which was within $2,250,000 of the
record made in 1917 under the
stimulus of wartime prices and
conditions.
The products of the fisheries in
dustry ranked first. All of the fish
eries combined produced commodi- \
ties valued at about $43,500,000 last !
year, or about $7,000,000. However,
| the salmon pack was regarded as
j excellent in view of the fact that
lit was one of the so-called “off
years” in several districts including
the red salmon fisheries of Bristol
I Bay.
HALIBUT MAKES GAIN
There were some 14,000,000
pounds of halibut shipped during I
the year, valued at about $1,900,000.
The increase in quantity was about
1.000. 000 pounds, and in value about
$225,000.
Cured herring showed the heavi- j
est decline, dropping from $1,674,244 j
to about $940,000. Unseasonable I
weather, and poor runs in central j
and western Alaska areas were,the |
main factors in the drop.
Fisheries by-products industries j
apparently experienced a prosper- i
ous year. Fish meal production j
jumped almost 3,000 tons to 11,900
tons worth more than $825,000. Oil
production increased from 2,569,439
gallons to 3,409,814 gallons, and in
value from $1,073,454 to about $1,
380.000.
(JAIN IN MINERALS
The most striking feature in last
year’s outbourne commerce was the
gain made in mineral production as
disclosed by export figures. The es
timated. total of all minerals for the |
year was $1 <1450.000.
For the first time since 1922 eo’d
and shyer shipments exceeded $7.
000.000 the total being about $7,~
400,000 as compared to $8,033,249 in
1998. The gold volume was $7,126,
724 and silver $281,731.
Conner also made a gain, jumn.
ing to about $8 700 000 last year
from $6,781,655 in 1928. This is the
resuH of higher market prices re- i
ceivod for that mineral as the pro
duction declined from 45,349,937
pounds to 43.900.000 pounds. Other ; j
minerals produced were: lead,
$170,000; tin, $52,500; and stone i
$110,000. The coal production fig- |
ures are not contained in these es- j
timates as all of it was consumed
locally and only those commodities I
shipped outside of the Territory are
covered by Customs House records.

he value was but little more than
