MARINE
MARINE NOTES.

Plans for Tightening the cargoes OF
number OF coal carriers loaded at
Lake Erie ports for Lake Superior,
which cannot pass through the 500
locks because OF the draft, are being
made. The draft for the upbound
vessels Is only IL feet inches, but
sone of the steamers are loaded for
as much as Is feet. The water in
tho 500 locks is the lowest on rec
ord. To unload the boats will mean
. big loss In the profits OF the first
trip.
The steamer Alfred Mitchell, one
OF the few wooden vessels used in
the ore trade, will clear from St.
Clair. Mich, In a few days under
command OF Captain Morrow. She will
probably go TO a Lake Erie port for
cargo OF coal for Lake Superior.
II is anticipated that the carriers
rate on lumber charters from tho
head OF the lakes TO Lake Erie ports
viii rule at 81 for the present sea-
son. II is said that 70 per cent OF
the lumber to go down the lakes is
already under charter on that basis.
