this year May shows an increase an
consumption over April and both
April and May are well ahetad of the
corresponding months of last year.
On June 1 there was on hand at
furnaces consuming Lake Superior
ores a total Of 13,O63,435 gross tons
of such ore and at the Lake Erie
docks 1928, 944 gross tons, making
a total of Lake Superior ore on hand
of 17,387,379 gross tons. This is
3,661,781 gross tons under the 21,-
049,160 gross tons on hand at the
docks and furnaces on Jane /, 1925.
The bulk of this large decrease IN
ore on hand is due to the lateness
of opening upper lake navigation
and to delay caused by ice in lower
lake harbora At the beginning of
this month shipments from upper
lake ports were 4,312,054 tons be-
hina the amount shipped by the be-
ginning of June last year. With
large shipments OF coal and grain
going forward and with tonnage of
iron ore to go down the lakes equal
or in excess of that removed last
year it is quite probable that some
record tonnages will be moved be-
tween the end of this month and the
close of navigation for the sc ason.
On the last day of April there
were in blast 201 Of the 299 fur
naces normally consuming Lake Sup
erior iron ores. On the last day of
May there were six less furnaces in
blast or 1876. This places the num-
Der of furnaces in blast within one
of the number in blast on March 81.

ORE INDUSTRY
TAXED To DEATH.
SHOWS TAXES BUR-
DENSOME AND WITHOUT RE-
LIEF TO THE IRON INDUSTRY
OF MINNESOTA-BAD LAWS
SHOW BAD EFFECTS.

The paralyzing effects of excessive
taxation on any industry far exceeds
in its injurious results amy of the
vicissitudes which may occur in the
business from time to time says
Skilling's Mining Review. Reverses
resulting from any of the many con-
ditions which may arise temporarily
NAV be overcome, and there is cour-
age to continue The effects do not
necessarily discourage renewed en-
ort. But the ever present situation
of excessive taxes, such as burdens
the iron mining industry of Mime
sofa, provides permanent hardship
from which there is no escape, and
at present no prospect of relief. EX-
cessive taxation has no rival in its
depressing effects on enterprise and
its power to destroy initiative.
In 1925, when more steel was pro-
duced in the United States than be
fore in any one year, Lake Superior
iron mines forwarded 54,000,OOO
gross tons ore. In 1916, when the
steel production was we'll below that
of 1925, the Lake Superior iron
mines forwarded 66,000,000 gross
tons. These mines are developed to
a point where they can deliver co.,
100000 gross tons year. 1t is
manifest that the Lake Superior iron
ore producers not only have compe-
tition to meet among themselves, but
they face outside competition. THIS
outside competition may be classified
under four heads. First, there is
foreign competition in pig iron and
steel. Second, there are eastern
iron ores. Third, there is southern
competition, and fourth, scrap iron
and steel are being more widely used
for remelting.
Several years ago there is rec
ord of 5,250,O00 gross tons of Lake
Superior iron ore going to the east
ern furnaces in a single year. Last
year the amount was 100000 tons.
This decreased tonnage is due largely
to the increased use of eastern ores,
and the encroachment of the foreign
ores, which can be delivered at much
lower unit cost. The result is that
the line of demarkation where Lake
Superior iron ores and the eastern
and foreign ores meet is steadily be-
ing pushed westward toward the
Lake Superior mines.
Six hundred and fifty thousan,,
tons of pig iron was imported into
the United States in 1925, IN aidit
ion to much tonnage of various iron
and steel products. The ir"oads of
the southern iron is harder to locate
and measure, but the result on the
market for Lake Superior iron ores
is clear

The sordid Side of Cotton

The history of cotton is the most re-
markable romance ever recorded. Few
will dispute that fact and none viii
deny that cotton's ramiAcations extend
into every village and hamlet Of the
civilized world It has held favorable
the balance of trade of the country Tor
generations. But at what cost For
there is a sordid side to the Romance
of Cotton.
We hear very little of the struggles
Of the growers except in the press of
the rural South, and little there. Occa-
sionally prominence is given by metro
politan newspapers of some interest
ing news which affects this phase of
the SOuth's economic life, such for in
stance as the present move by Texas
bankers to create a fund for the re-
mOval Of 100000 bales from the mar
ket, but the problem itself-and all
must admit that the poverty of The
cotton producer is a real problem is
but of passing moment TO all but him
self This is not as it should be, for
the prosperity, health and happiness of
the entire South is necessarily and
most seriously affected by the condi-
ton of these hundreds of thousands"
who labor i'm the cotton field
In giving cotton to the South God
gave 1t one of His most precious heri-
tages Certainly He did not suspect
or will that this heritage would be so
misused that il would bring poverty to
uncounted thousands. 1t is incOnceiv-
able that one should find mothers suck
ling their babies beneath the shade of
trees adjoining cotton fields, and yet
this is a common sight in nearly every
county i'm the South. 1t is well known
to all who live in that section that the
crop is largely chopped and harvested
by women and children, whose labor
in the majority of cases is thrown
in," but not counted in the cost of
production of cotton.
1t is of record that cotton today is
priced below the levels which obtain
ed when it was raised with slave labor
on rented lands. SO much for the
grower.
What of the cotton merchant? One
can spend almost any day at any cot
ton center talking to the most repu-
table merchants without finding a sim
gle one who has made a legitimate
earning on his invested capital for the
past three years.
The spinners of cotton, it appears,
are faring no better than the growers
or merchants. For very long time,
over three years, the complaints from
this quarter have been unanimous, it
mattered not If they came from the
Carolinas, New England, Lancashire,
or where. There has been not only no
margin of profit but almost continu-
Gus Improbable operations. IL can
not be denied that the spinning bust
ness has long been in a bad way.
And there is another branch of this
great industry "COtton" that has great
ly suffered. The Future Brokers" for
upwards and two and n half years
have seen the volume of their business
so small that it has not yielded a suffi-
cient revenue to meet necessary eX-
penditures. In the restriction of cot
ton futures business lies a very real
menace, for it is only through the in
surance of the hedge that the mer-
chant and spinner can cover their
commitments. And it is only through
their use of those markets plus the
