during at least the to severe winter months was atipulateda saaae 270.000 toss
should have been delivered during the above enumerated seven months compared
with the delivered 234.600 tone, which means a shortago of deliveries eamoutt
to approximately 40.000 tons. The provision for 1949 (i.e. 1 April 1949 - 31
March 1950) was to contract a quantity of 400.000 tons. The consumption during

what higher coke consumption (1 ton ore a 0.50. 0.55 ton coke).
