GLIN==> Slow Start for Lakes Stone Trade; April Shipments Off Nearly 50 Percent

The Great Lakes limestone trade has gotten off to one of its slowest
starts in years.  Shipments from U.S. and Canadian ports totaled only
1,551,490 tons in April, a decrease of nearly 50 percent from a year
ago.  Demand from the construction industry is extremely weak, and with
many steel mills idled, shipments of fluxstone are off significantly.
