Ashland Ore Trade Dips in July 1921 Open Shipping
Ashland's ore output for July 1921 stands at about 25 percent of July 1920 levels with around 150 cargoes shipped from the port, roughly 100 more than so far this month. Coal receipts drop due to rail stockpiles, while local business remains steady amid lake trade lull. In July 1920, 156 vessels cleared. so far this month only 34 have. Marine men predict iron ore demand will surge when 1921 slump ends, tied to delayed nationwide building.
