America Faces Tin Industry Growth Gap
The article notes the United States dominates tin plate exports compared with recent years but remains well behind prewar England. Export totals rose from 57,800 tons in 1913 to 233,000 tons in 1917, yet are under half of England’s prewar figure and only 35 percent more than current English exports. It questions if the U S will ever build a tin industry of its own as the tin melting sector remains in early stages. Bolivian ore is considered abundant but current conditions deter local producers from operating in the U S market.
