For several weeks past Messrs.

have been exploring for ore near
Hibblng. That their efforts
were not TO prove in vain has
been known for some time as
from the first each drill hole

indications of iron.

and promising body of ore

Ore has been taken out OF one
pit which shows an analysis oil

and .044 in phosphorus. The

order of the day in the iron
market is q revision of prices.
but there has been at no time
any doubt as TO the position
sellers OF ore would take on this
matter. No meeting has been
held by the Bessemer Ore Asso-
citation nor by the non Bessemer
producers, but the executive
committee represents the senti-
ment of all producers without
exception in saying that there
will be no change in the opening
price. While no quotations are
heard, because buyers are not
inquiring, il is intimated that
the only possible. exceptions 10
the rule as to price are those OF
certain Mesabi ores that have
not become established in the
market. The freight situation
has settled down practically to
contract tonnage; shippers are
not in the market for wild boats.
