All these preparations were practically
completed several years before they were

made, because the company adopted the
policy Of waiting for advantageous market
conditions. The reduction of the duty on
iron-ore from IS cents 10 40 cents per ton
and the increased demand for Bessemer
iron-ore In Eastern Pennsylvania finally
started the shipments. The Spanish
American Iron Company made a contract
with the Johnson Steamship Company TO
transport 10000 tons OF ore to ports north
OF Cape Hatteras. A good deal OF 1t was
