PROBABLE CHANGES IN KNOWN GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION

It seems reasonably certain that England is in a position to keep producing a large part of the world’s tin for some time, the lessening output from the Malaysian provinces being offset by the increased production of the African colonies. Both Cornwall and Australia, it is believed, will be able to maintain for a number of years a rather steady output of about the present size.

Bolivia will doubtless be able to increase her output of tin, and probably both Siam and China can be expected to produce larger quantities in the future. Production of the Dutch East Indies can probably be maintained at about its present rate for a number of years.
