China Risking Serious Loss
IF ANTIMONY PRICE SLUMPS SUDDENLY
London, Jan. 5.
Since January 1, of this year, since the Chinese Government's control of the aulimony Industry became operative, prices have risen sharply.

tratters express the fear that the present price-level may offer an inducement to
other pro“ ducing areas to Increase their output and hence, despite China's possession of 70 per cent. of the world's pro- duction, the position may
react to China's disadvantage.-Reuter.
