390 Wreck of W. C. Moreland The after portion of the steamer W. C. Moreland, which was wrecked off Eagle river, Lake Superior, two . THE MARINE REVIEW may be nearer 49,000,000 tons than 48,000,000. It is, therefore, clear that the long dreamed of movement of 50,000,000 tons per annum is about to be realized.

October Ore Shipments Ore shipments during October were 7,010,219 tons, making the total move- ment to Nov. 1, 43,348,601 tons, thus exceeding the record movement of 1910, when the fleet moved 42,620,201 tons, and still with a month's naviga- tion to spare. It will be recalled that the ore movement slumped severely during the fall of 1909, so that a bet- ter ctitetion of what the fleet is capable of doing in heavy weather is obtained from the November move- ment in 1909. During that month the fleet moved 4,899,220 tons, and it is pretty certain to move an equiv- alent or even greater amount during the present month, unless weather conditions should be unusually bad. The total movement for the present year will in all probability be in ex- Cess Of 46,000,000 tons. In fact, it AFTER Part or THE W. C. 'MoreLanp, ELeven Hatcurs In ALL years ago, was raised by~Capt..

Commerce of Lake Superior The commerce of Lake Superior during October as measured by the traffic passing through the canals at Sault Ste. Marie amounted to 10,716,- 791 net tons, making the fifth month in which the commerce has exceeded the 10,000,000-ton mark. The October movement is even greater than that of September, and was only slightly exceeded by the movement of any month since. June; certainly avery. surprising thing. The total move- ment to Nov. 1 is 62,669,499 tons as against 47,359,739 tons for the corre- sponding period during 1911, an in- crease of 15,309,760 tons. Following 45 the summary' ; EAST BOUND.
