TIN PRICES PLUMMET!
The price of tin has plummeted on the
world market. Recent sales of high-grade
tin on the Tin Market have driven the
price from its normal £162 per ton to £117
per ton, with prices continuing to slide
downward. Tin mines across Europe and
America face bankruptcy, as do many tin
brokers, who hold large stockpiles of
£162-per-ton tin.
The bulk of the new sources of tin have
been sold through a handful of London
brokerage houses who have all identified
their source as the island kingdom of
Vanaluvala in the Java Sea. Never known
before as a tin producer, it is widely be-
lieved that the Vanaluvala monarchy is
serving as an intermediary for a supplier
or suppliers unknown. The puzzle is that
no one can locate the original source of
the cheap metal.
Wild stories of transmutation of ele-
ments, slave mines deep in Africa, and
half a dozen even more far-fetched and ir-
responsible explanations have sent a shock
wave through all of the London metal
markets. Industry requires stability in the
cost of its raw materials and an assured
supply. The wildly fluctuating prices in
the metal markets, as well as the collapse
of capital flow into the mining industry,
is a matter of the gravest concern.
