38 & Lake Erie Ore Receipts Figures compiled by THE Marine Review from the returns sent in by the various dock companies show that iron ore receipts at Lake Erie ports during the season of 1913 were 39,- 099,647 tons, out of a total movement of ore by lake of 49,070,478 tons. Lake Erie docks on Dec. 1 held a bal- ance of 9,261,676 tons, the smallest amount in five years. - During 1912 the total shipment by lake was 47,435,777 tons, of which Lake Erie docks received 37,472,108 tons, and held a balance on Dec. 1, 1912, of 10,080,798 tons. During 1911 the total shipment by lake was 32,- 130,411, of which Lake Erie docks re- ceived 25,531,550 tons and held a bal- ance on Dec. 1, 1911, of 9,469,869 tons. the total THE MARINE REVIEW we have the amount of ore on Lake Erie docks as of May 1 last, 5,909,829 tons; add to this the receipts of the season just closed, 39,099,647 tons, and is 45,009,476 tons; deduct the amount on dock Dec. 1, 9,261,676 tons, and we have 35,747,800 tons as the amount that was forwarded either direct or from dock to furnace yards. It is understood, of course, that the difference between the total output of 49,070,478 tons which was_ shipped from the Lake Superior mines during 1913 and the receipts of 39,099,647 tons at Lake Erie ports, is ore that went to places other than Lake Erie ports, such as furnaces'at Lake Mich- igan ports.
