A multiply discriminating, three-loop superconducting monopole detector was operated for 1 yr. During this period, 8523 h of data were accumulated. The sensing area averaged over a solid angle for trajectories passing through a loop was 178 sq cm. With inclusion of double-coincidence events from trajectories passing through the shield but not through a loop, the total sensing area averaged over a solid angle was 1195 sq cm. No candidate monopole events were observed; this leads to an upper limit on the flux of cosmic-ray magnetic monopoles of 5.0 x 10 to the -12/sq cm sr s with a 90 percent confidence level.
