SHIPMENTS OF SWEDISH IRON ORE TO GERMANY SHIPS WAITING IN VAIN AT LULEA (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 10.45 a.m.) LONDON. October 17. The Stockholm newspaper “Aftonbladet” says 40 to 50 ships are waiting at Lulea for iron ore which is on order by the Germans, but never arrives. The official reason for the decline in iron ore deliveries is an interruption of the main electric railway service to Lulea “for extensive repair,” which is expected to continue until mid-November when the port is icebound. The British United Press Stockholm correspondent estimates that iron ore shipments from Sweden to Germany have fallen by two-fifths in the past few weeks. Germany normally receives about six million tons of iron ore from Lulea during the six to seven months in which the port is free of ice.
