SWEDISH IRON ORE
GERMANS AWAIT DELIVERY “ REPAIRS ” TO RAIL SERVICES LONDON, Oct. 17. The Stockholm newspaper Aftonbladet says that 40 to 50 ships are waiting at Lulea for iron ore which was ordered by the Germans, but did not arrive. The official reason for the decline in iron ore deliveries is the interruption of the main electric railway. service to Lulea “for extensive repairs ” which are expected to continue until mid-November, when the port will be icebound. The Stockholm correspondent of the British United Press estimates that iron ore shipments from Sweden to Germany have fallen by two-fifths in the past few weeks. Germany normally receives about 6,000,000 tons of iron ore from Lulea during the six to seven months when the port is free of ice.
