began in May, 1919 introduces anoth-

although Broken Hill lead is not ex-

ruaiy it is well to realize the strength
of lead production from that part of
the world. The following table givesN
the production of New South Wales
for the ten years ending 1919. and as
the Broken Hill district is by far the
largest producing area the figures may

and 100000 pounds. respectively
These figures are all the more signia-
cant when comparison is made with
the record of previous years. Thus in
1913 total of I4lSl3l27 pounds of
lead was imported. OF which pigs
bars, and old lead accounted for only
lO2l4'75S pounds. In 1920 in the
months of August and September
alone more pig bar and old lead was
imported than i'm 1918 and 1919 nut
together Pre-war importations of
pigs, bars and old lead averaged
about $4,000 pounds annually.
That the heavy importations of lead
have altered the complexion of the
market there can be no doubt but
their effect can also be overestimated.
as the lead industry is singularly free
of surplus stocks. and there is no
overproduction in the trade In fact.
it would appear that production this
year will be smaller than that of last
