ALL SHIPPING TO Be POOLED
Early Opening of Navigation Will
Result in a Record Amount of
Lake Business

There is bright prospect that tine
iron ore producers will get an increase
in the price OF ore the coming season.
When the government ct the prices of
iron and steel last year the ore price
was fixed at the price then in force.
Notwithstanding the fact that steel
prices had been increased very mater
tally from those fixed as the base.
The ore miners have been asking
that they be granted an increase in
the price of their product the coming
year. About January 1 the federal
government announced that the ore
price fixed in 1917 would continue un-
I'll April /, and all eyes in the iron
producing section have been fixed up
on that date with the expectancy that
then some concessions would be made.
