Year-to-date the Lakes limestone trade stands at 6,064,130 tons, an increase of 3.7 percent compared to a year ago. Again, loadings from Michigan and Ohio quarries are virtually unchanged from a year ago – 4.9 million tons. Shipments from Ontario quarries total 1,169,739 tons, an increase of 216,000 tons.
