Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Antimony-Mining Industry and the Distribution of Antimony Ores in New South Wales

But it is probable that an increased production will be effected by nothing less than a considerable rise in the market price. Until the industry shows a great increase in activity and the supply of available hard lead is unable to meet the demands of the trade, we need not expect very much change in the price. For I am convinced that a large proportion of the antimony which was sold during the boom days was used for purposes for which hard lead might be applied.

One other condition which might affect the price lies in the possibility of the more extensive use of antimonial pigments in Europe which would encourage the French smelteries, now making 60 per cent. Of the world's output of refined antimony products, to increase their tonnage of oxides, with a proportional reduction in the amount of refined metal put on the market.
