RECEIPTS OF IRON ORE AT LAKE ERIE PORTS. The Iron Trade Review, of Cleveland, annually publishes the statistics of the receipts of Lake Superior iron ore at Cleveland and other ports on Lake Erie, the ports of Buffalo and Erie included, the principal receipts being at Ashtabula and Cleveland ; also the quantity left on the docks at the close of navigation. From these statistics we compile the following summary of the receipts at all Lake Erie ports from 1883 to 1894, and of the stocks on dock at the close of navigation in each of these years. S.-7.

Of the quantity imported by this company in 1894 there were received at Philadelphia 26 cargoes, containing 82,047 tons, and at Baltimore 22 cargoes, containing 68,392 tons. The total importations by this company from 1884 to 1894 amounted to 2,216,725 gross tons. No iron ore was mined or shipped in 1894 from the Cuban mines of the Signa Iron Company, of Philadelphia. In 1893 this company imported 14,022 gross tons of iron ore, and in 1892 its imports were 7,830 tons. The Spanish-American Iron Company, of New York, has not yet shipped any iron ore from its Cuban mines. CONSUMPTION OF IRON ORE. We estimate our total consumption of iron ore in 1894 at 12,235,000 gross tons, against 13,480,000 tons in 1893, 17,400,- 000 tons in 1892, and 15,740,000 tons in 1891. Our imports of iron ore in 1894 amounted to 167,307 gross tons; this quantity subtracted from the quantity consumed leaves 12,067,693 tons as the probable consumption of domestic iron ore in 1894, against 12,953,049 tons in 1893, 16,593,415 tons in 1892, and 14,827,144 tons in 1891.

CONSUMPTION OF IRON ORE.<br />
We estimate our total consumption of iron ore in 1894 at<br />

subtracted from the quantity consumed leaves 12,067,693 tons as<br />
the probable consumption of domestic iron ore in 1894, against<br />
12,953,049 tons in 1893, 16,593,415 tons in 1892, and 14,827,144<br />
