Indications point to a heavy in
crease in the ore movement next
year. While the Independents are
uncertain as to the amount which
they will mine. it is safe to predict
that they will increase their ship
ments 5000, 900 tons and that the
Steel Corporation will ship about
4 900, 900 tons more than it did
this year. These increases would
make the movement for 1912 about
40, 900, 900 tons. One high author
itv predicts that the movement for
1912 will exceed that for 1911 by
100000 tons. Sentiment in
regard to prices has not crystalliz-
