Part of What You Pay For Canned Goods Goes Abroad

New York July 1 Credit part of the money you spend for canned foods goes abroad as part of the dollar crisis and U.S. policy Americans are paying about 45 million dollars yearly for tin used in cans of fruit vegetables and beer. Tin price is held at 1.032 a pound despite surplus. Britain controls a third of world tin output and pursues policy toward Bolivia. Washington says to speed buying of strategic minerals for the stockpile means dollars for Britain and security, with tin prices tied to British payments to Malayan mines. Bolivia remains a key price influencer. About 170,900 tons of tin will be mined this year and consumption may reach 61,086 tons. The international outlook expects growth in the coming years, as prewar prices soared and today Americans largely buy tin directly, still hampered by foreign cartels that influence production and pricing.
