Iron ORE IS
CRIPPLED NOW.
BY British Submarine Block
ade but Sweden is Not
Complaining about II.

;tCorrespondence.o of Associated :Press.)
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. 49,,
Swedish iron mine owners state that
the British submarine blockade will
result in complete stoppage Of Ger
many's large iron ore Importation from
this country. Iron ore Is not con-
traband and could ordinarily be
shipped on neutral vessels, but at pres
emit all Swedish and other neutral ship
ping is otherwise engaged, and no sves-
sells are available. ST..
Figures at hand show to what ex-
tent the expectation Of iron ore has
been concentrated on the Baltic and
how shipping has decreased, owing to
the risk Of capture by British cruisers.
In the year 1913 $3.50. 900 tons OF iron
ore were shipped from Narviw and
1920, 900 tons in 1914, and, according
to reports Of the current year, the
total shipping OF iron ore will not be
over 100000 tons. From Lulca,
on the other hand, the amount OF iron
ore exported has increased from 900,-
900 tons last years figures to 2 1885,
900 with one month Of the shipping
season still unreported. Other Baltic
ports record q like. increase. lss II
The present stoppage of the iron ore
trade is a heavy blow to Sweden, btiit
the Swedish press, realizing glands
necessity has INDUCED In neither BIT
sternesssnor complaint.
German ships are, now playing q
difficult game. Navigating close to the
shore in order to be in neutral waters
is not easy during the best season
and with the rough seas Of winter II
will be particularly hazardous.
