Ore Shipment Trends From Lake Superior See Strong Demand Ahead
Industry observers note ore shipments from Lake Superior docks accelerate in mid year to meet fall and winter demand. Through June the region reported 9,689,800 tons shipped for the season with expectations of about 14,250,000 tons by July 1, though figures lag 1928 levels. Shippers plan to have ample ore ready by August 1 to cushion any downturn and emergency demand.
