C. H. Clarke, of the salmon brokerage firm of Kelley- 
Clarke Co., of Seattle, Wash., prepared and published a statement 
showing the comparative charges on 100 cases each of red Alaska and 
pink canned salmon from the time they leave Seattle up to the time 
they reach the hands of wholesalers in South America. 
This shows 
that the f. o. b. Seattle value of the red salmon was $500 and of the 
pink salmon $280. 
By the time these goods reached the hands of the 
Rio de Janeiro wholesalers the red salmon were worth $1,900.07, while 
the pink salmon were worth $1,677.87. 
the red salmon were worth $1,436.01 and the pink salmon $1,213.81. 
The table is so interesting and instructive that it is reproduced entire 
herewith.
