Show WORLD COPPER FIGURES GIVEN World production of electrolytic copper in 1930 totaled 1,681,315 short tons, against 1, 969,432 in 1929, according to American Bureau of Metal Statistics. Of this, the United States produced 1,155,459 tons in 1930 against 1,444,392 in 1929, and the rest of the world 525,856 tons in 1930, against 525,-040 525,-040 tons in 1929. American Bureau explains that its figures upon 1930 electrolytic production of the world are subject sub-ject to minor revision, as output of one small foreign producer was estimated and all the Russian output out-put W2S assumed to be electrolytic. electro-lytic. American Bureau's estimate of world output of 1,969,432 short tons in 1930 for electrolytic output makes it 85 per cent of 1929 production. pro-duction. World's production of blister copper in 1930 was 84 per cent of 1929 blister output. The bureau is not in a position as yet to estimate refined output of copper for the world in 1930. |
