ORE SHIPMENTS
STEADY IN SEPTEMBER.
Tonnage for Month just Closed Which
Has Three Less Working Days IN II
Than Previous Month Is Only OOo,OOO
Tons Less.

With three working days less than
those in August, ore shipments from
Lake Superior district for September
show a loss OF less that 100000 tons
compared with previous months. That
means the ore was sent forward at
about the same rate last month that it
was in August.
The feet carried 6.217,1S9 tons last
month and in August the mines sent
forward 6,s06.811 tnos. Three records
were made this season and the 6,000,0
mark was passed for the first time on
June. when shipments were 6,433,S69
tons.
The total movement UP TO October l.,
was 30.558,741 tons which is 2,407, 9S6
tons over the same time last year, when
shipments were 2S,150.755 tons.
To reach the 100000 ton mark the
feet will only have to move about O.
5OO,O 900 tons Of ore from Oct. l until the
close of the season. The general opin-
ion is that the total movement for the
season will be 41,000, 900 tons and If
that figure is reached the boats will be
kept pretty busy right up to the close
Of the season. The vessels will carry
smaller cargoes from now on; there VIII
be detention on account of low water
and bad weather and dispatch at the
docks will not be as good as it has
been.
