RECORD OF A PROSPEROUS YEAR. The tin mining industry in the Feder ated Malay States had a prosperous year in 1911, and seems likely to experience a further period of prosperity, judging by the present price of tin and the great absorption of labour into the industry.

In 1911 the export of tin was 44,148, The average local price was $93.90 par tons, valued at $69,645,466, or £8,125,304 picui, or £184 03. 100 per ton. In 1810 the average local value was $77.51 per On Sale at the "HONGKONG DAILY FREE picul, or £151 189. d. per ton. To-day tin is quoted at £100 101, per ton in the London market.
