Preliminary returns from 26 leading U S iron ore producers indicate total marketed ore in 1911 between 45.0 and 46.0 million long tons, down 22 to 24 percent from 1910’s peak. Lake Superior District and Birmingham show declines, stock at mines partially explains the gap, and total pig iron output may imply higher ore needs than estimated.
Ongoing rise in pig iron production near year end 1911 suggests the 1910 iron ore surplus may have been partially cleared. By the close of 1911, only a relatively small quantity remained at the mines.
