COAL SUPPLIES
Ten Thousand Tons Loaded on Dead
Steamer 1t Duluth.

Steamer I Duluth.
Duluth. Oct. ,g10.-Ten thousand
tons Of coal was taken from the Car
negie coal dock this morning and
loaded on the steamer Norway Of the
United States Transportation. company
for winter storage. The Norway did
not fit out this season and has been
anchored. in. . bay all summer. A
dozen boats are available for coal
storage here.
AS far as the grain situation is con-
cerned it is not believed that there
will be many bulk freighters pressed
into service to hold grain dr. the
winter. The number Of storage grain
boats will depend somewhat upon the
rate and the volume of grain received.
There is at the present time plenty of
elevator room and unless the situation
changes materially. storage boats will
not be needed.
