Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Information Concerning Tungsten-Bearing Ores Tungsten mining was an industry that was profoundly affected by the war. In June, 1918, two conferences were held by the United States Tariff Commission - one in Denver and one in San Francisco - at which the producers, consumers, and importers of the ore and metal were given an opportunity to present their views as to the permanent aspects of the industry. The domestic production of tungsten-bearing ore increased under the stress of war necessity to nearly five times the output before the war. The signing of the armistice found large accumulations of ore and ferro-tungsten in this and foreign countries; and the closing of munition plants, which had been the largest consumers of tungsten steel, caused a temporary reduction in the demand for tungsten products. The result of these circumstances was a chaotic condition of the market which was aggravated by heavy importations of foreign ore released from licensing regulations. Tungsten mines throughout the United States have been closed down and domestic production is at a standstill; but the influx of foreign supplies has continued unabated and has inhibited readjustment of the American industry to a peace basis. Consumption is becoming adjusted, but prices are at a level that does not permit the successful operation of American mines. Reports indicate the discovery of large new supplies of ore in southern China, and that the flood of ore from that section is partly present production, and not merely a liquidation of stocks accumulated during the war period.
