A Summary Showing the Character of Vessels Engaged in Moving Iron Ore from Two Harbors, one of the Principal Shipping Ports of Lake Superior--Average Cargo of 281 Vessels is 4,830 Gross Tons. In the season of 1902 there was moved from Two Harbors, one of the principal ore shipping ports on Lake Superior, 5,549,120 gross tons of ore. 'This large quantitv of ore was carried down the lakes by 281 vessels. The number of cargoes was 1,149, 99 that the average cargo was 4,830 gross tons. This average shows how the ore trade is constantly drifting to big vessels. The g*eat bulk of this ore was moved a distance of about 875 miles by water, as 4,065,342 tons of it was consigned to Lake lyrie ports, against 883,778 tons to Chicago. 'The maximuin cargo, 7.576 tons, was taken out by the steel tow barge John Sineaton, Aug. 14, and the minimum cargo, 1,070 tons, by th* wooden steamer Rube Richards, Oct 4. The average time load- ing for all the vessels was 8 hours. 'The first clearance was the steamer F..B. Wells, April 2, and the last clearance the steamer Lansing, Dec. 7.

As managers of the ore and coal docks on Lake Erie are only now treating with the longshoremen on the question of wages for the coming season, and as the Lake Carriers have not yet fully completed their arrangements with the labor or- ganizations, there is little disposition among the vessel men to hurry the matter of ore and coal freight contracts, especially as they fear they will not get advance enough over last year's rates to meet the increased operating expenses involved in a charge of $2.90 a ton for fuel, in the new contracts with labor, and possibly in a higher charge for unloading ore. On the other hand the ore shippers know that they must face large stocks of ore on Lake Erie docks on the opening of navigation. 'sney know also that with dock space even more limited than it was a year ago, and with little hope of much improvement in railway facilities for direct shipments to furnaces, their ar- rangements for a large increase over last year's output of ore may fall short of expectations. 'They see also the indications of a very early opening of navigation, which is to their advan- tage, and they are not therefore disposed to take up the question of lake freights until they find it necessary to do so. Of course the best hopes of the vessel men rest with the certainty of an enormous coal movement and more than the average movement is acc bo cies he ke i ak la eS
