Leading Ore Shippers May Not Line Up Tonnage' Until April.

Cleveland, Feb. 9. All branches of the ke trade are very quiet, and some of the ore men are hopeful that nothing: will b done regarding prices for the output of the mines for two months. Conditions are much"' better than they were at the close of last season, and the general opinion Is that the longer the matter: is delayed the better it will b. It rBt-:iikely that the question of ore freights will be taken up until April, said a leading shipper yesterday, and some of the boats may be ready to Eo before any chartering is done. Shipping orders have been cut down since the cold weather set in, but most of the docks have orders to send ore forward as soon as the weather conditions are favorable. There has been very little freight talk since the close of navigation, and aside from the placing of a few ships for grain and some storage ' coal chartering, no business has been doie. The Indications are that the start will be late, and that of course will be a good thing for the owners of wild carriers. According to reports received by local shippers coal is going forward from the upper lake docks in good shape, and if. the present movement continues . through February the docks will be; pretty well . cleaned up by the opening of navigation. It was planned to carry over a fair , stock of coal on account of the danger

of a. miner's strike next April, but the weather has 'been very cold in the northwest and stocks of some grades of coal will be low when the shipping season opens. There is considerable coal afloat at Ohio ports, but if there is a strike land it is of long duration all the cargoes -will not be sent up the lakes. A number of steamers will take cargoes to Buffalo . if the' coal trade 5s tied up. There was some Inquiry 'yesterday for coal carriers for early loading ,but no charters were reported.. A number of owners have secured coal for delivery in .1912. During th. past season the shippers In a ntsmber of cases agreed to give vessej men blocks'., of 100,000 ,toa for taking: late, cargoes ,aad loading their boatsfcr the Canadian head of the lakes when their was a jam at tha docks. Aside from that, however, no business has been done. .Another change of . management In a Cleveland fleet of bUt- freighters will probably be announced this week. The officials of the Jenkins steamship company, which operates four steamers, have not named a new manager. It Is understood that several local parties are after the job. Lorain Dally News.

Woman and the Farm. . In defining woman's relation to the life of the farm, one needs but little reflection to become aware of the allpervading quality of that relationship. Just as the monarch of France, when asked to define the state, exclaimed. "The state; I am the state." So might the farmer's wife, when questioned as to the life of the farm, respond, "I am the life ot the farm."
