THE WILEY CHINESE
ORGANIZE CORNER
Worlds Supply Of Antimony
Tied Up in Celestial
Kingdom.

HANKoW, China, Dec. 2.-Anti-
mcny has reached a record price be-
cause of the great need of metal IN
making munitions of war, and Chin
csc, who were rar-sfghtcd enough to
corner antimony output, hav e:ra2-
ed fortune.
Tho refined metal has been sold IN
London for over $500 gold per ton at
times since the opening of the war.
Previous to hostiiities the London
price was about $125.
Human province, which lies south
of Hankow, is the chief antimony pro
ducting section Of tho world. The
ore rom which the metal Is obtained,
isblasted there from the hflltops, and
reaches Hankow on rivers which
drain into the Yang-tse. The chief
producer of the refined ore Is the
Hua Ching Company Of Changslra,
Changsha Is an important commercial
center on the Slang river, south OF
Hankow. Before the war the output
Of the Huang Chang Company's re-
finery averaged little more than two
hundred tons month, but the plant
has now been extended and the COM
pany has opened offices in New York.
Several plants have now been es'
tablished in Hankow for refining
the ore, and this city is probably sup
plying ninety per cent. of the anti
mony used by the munition workers
Tho metal is necessary In the manu-
facture of shells, as 1t makes the steel
more brittle and caused the shell to
be much more deadly by breaking in
to smaller pieces when 1t explodes.
Anthony is also required in making
armor plate for warships.
Producers of the crude ore have en-
ioyed only a slight increase in tho
price Of their product. Middlcmen,
who were able to corner the output
and were far.seeing enough to appre'
ciate how the prices would rise, have
reaped most of the profit. Practical
iy all the leaders in the movement to
corner the market are Chinese and
Japanese.
