ORE + PRICES re
Furnaces Want Prices Fixed foI
Next Year.

A dispatch from Cleveland says
that iron ore shippers are being
importuned by furnace interests
to quote ore for 1917 delivery.
Large reservations have been
made for 1917, but the shippers
are reluctant to establish prices.
Furnaces in some parts of the
country have sold their output
for the first half of next year and
are now considering business for
the second half of the year. They
want to know what ore will cost
to estimate prices for the second
half of next year. On the other
hand shippers want to avoid prices
at this time.
Mining costs have steadily i'm
creased since navigation opened
last spring. The mining com
panies sold ore at a price for the
season and it is probable that some
of the mines will not break even
this year. In addition to this con
dition the outlook for labor and
the increased cost due to pro-
duction smaller than capacity
make the costs for 1917 difficult
to estimate. The lake freight rate
