The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume OF
the Week In Iron Circles.

y. hnG ~ eAh M Atoh ~h~t~"s
Exact figures received by the iron ore
sales agents confirm the authoritative
opinion recently quoted in this report,
that September shipments would be less
than those Of September 1897. The
total was 1851, 1852 tons from all upper
lake ports, or pa 900 tons less than
Tor September Of last year. The aggre-
gate to Oct. 1897 was 1o.994 POI tons
as against 8. SO7 ,571 tons To Oct. l 1897.
The gain over 1897 shipments which
was ,43O. 900 tons on Sept. /, has
heen reduced to l.lS6,0oO tons. III
October and November shipments
should be just equal to those al hast
year, the years total, 10y water, would
be somewhat less than 1900. 900
tons. As has been explained here
tofore, the shortage oil labor on
all ranges has brought the output
considerably below earlier estimates.
Freight rates are so cents from the
head Of Lake Superior, 60 cents nomi-
nally from Marquette, no Tonnage being
sought, and 65 cent paid from Escana-
ba. The scarcity Of non-Bessemer ores
is being emphasized AZ the season II
drawing TO IA close. Ten cents advanced
paid over earlier purchases but even at
50 the amount Of non-Bessemer hema-
titcs to be had IL exceedingly small. All
ores OF this class have been sold at the
lowest price on record, this year, and
with the demand that has develope'i II
would seem that the situation ~ ripe i !
