est 1t has ever been on the lakes and
until the close of the season the
freight market is expected for once to
hold up TO the capacity Of the fleet
The wild rate from Lake Superior
on irst-class ore Is 81 ton net. at
which rate about all Of the free capac-
ty has been chartered. The rate is
being paid not only for immediate ton

With the record breaking May bust

boats about the only ones left in the
American grain trade, the fleet should
carry between 100000 and 975O,0OO
