"We have agents all through the country yet we have re ceived , hardly any' inquiries let alone orders. - " .-. Tbe Puget sound mills are not re ceiving any inquiries and 'you know thai your own mills here aren't, so it follows logically that there Is no such enormous demand a4 the charter speculators would have ne believe."" - "My only wonder is how th-speculators are going to get off when. the drop comes. They have taken vessels at 15 a thousand feet over what the trade will 'stand even under thesa un usual circumstances. " ' Today, , the best trade outlook for this north' Pacific la the" west coast. W will have the steamers aclcne, Columbia. Tricolor, Cuzco, St. Helens and Eureka for June and early July loading. . They will bring nitrate' and general cargo north and take full cat goes of flour and lumber south. The Cacique. Tricolor and Cuzco will coma to the Columbia river, ua well as PUcet ' sound, tout the St. Helens, Co lumbia and Eureka are to take full cargoes on the sound. "The demand on the west coast fol lows the gradual revivification of the iiltre trade. 'After the war'opened and tne outlet was so summarily ended that territory went to its lowest finan cial condition. Theriitre demand, has gradually come back, and while not near the size it once attained, has a! healthy condition, due to. the high prices which iB giving the west, coasti countries renewed conriaence. ' - Robinson has been visiting with George M. McDowell, local manager of the Grace lines, and discussing with him the handling of the coming sea son's north Pacific business. He will return to Seattle tomorrow. pKKlv MYSTERY SOLUTION Jury Questions Fireman From Al leged Neutrality Violator. , San Francisco, CaU May 27. U. P.)
