TIN PRODUCTION.
I notice that rumours current for some time past of thy: formation of a Tin Producers' Association are now confirmed and that this association seems to be founded on thoroughly broad and sound lines. If only in view of the extent to which tin forms one of our important Empire assets, considerable importance attaches to the market being a well organized one making for price stability rather than for violent fluctua- tions. It is, therefore, satisfactory to learn that the organiza- tion which has been formed is thoroughly representative of the principal tin-producing centres of the Empire, while confidence in the general aims of the association is stimulated by the fact that the Right Hon. Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, M.C. M.P., who until recently was President of the Board of Trade,- has consented to- become chairman of the associa- tion, while the chairmanship of the Executive Committee has been accepted . by Sir William. Barclay Peat, the well- known chartered accountant.
