TATISTICS just published in the Statistical Bulletin of the International Tin Research and Development Council reveal that a series of new records was established in the tin industry in 1937. World production for the year reached a record if 206,900 tons, exceeding production for 1936 by nearly 27,000 tons. World apparent consumption of tin, at 197,300 tons in 1937, was also at a record level, and showed an increase of 36,600 tons over the figure for 1936. The estimated consumption of tin in manufacture increased by 8,000 tons to 172,000 tons, the discrepancy between these two computations of consumption indicating that consumers stocks were appreciably increased during 1937.
