22 OUR MINERAL RESERVES. These calculations do not take into account the increased exports of zinc pigments that must absorb some of the domestic surplus zinc resources. Moreover, the United States imports each year from Continental Europe about 2,500 tons of zinc dust. This supply of zinc dust is now cut off, and the dust has already greatly advanced in price. Zinc dust is produced at two American smelters and could easily be produced at others, so that no doubt the better prices will result in the whole demand being supplied from domestic sources and thus absorbing another portion of the surplus zinc ore. LEAD. The effect of the war on the lead situation is as yet uncertain. One month of war has not disturbed the already low price of lead in the United States, but it would seem that the conflict must ultimately enhance the price. All exports of lead as well as of copper and zinc have been forbidden by the English Government, which has requi sitioned all visible supplies, so that no lead is now available for the English consumer. Great Britain will apparently be the best market at present for American lead, although the lead now imported into England comes mostly from Spain and Australia, and so long as ocean transportation is available it will naturally continue to come from those countries. In 1913 the imports of lead into Great Britain exceeded her exports of lead by over 180,000 short tons. The following table shows the lead output of the principal produc ing countries in 1912-13, in short tons: World's production of lead in 1912 and 1918. 392,517 205,799 194,666 118,387 132,276 56,438 32,187 34,282 115,961 1,282,513 1913 411,878 223,767 199,627 127,867 68,343 55,997 33,620 30,864 118,495 1 270.458 United States (domestic refined). Spain Germany Australia Mexico Belgium Great Britain France Other countries It seems likely that the war will curtail this output about 250,000 tons, nearly one-fifth of the total production. Inasmuch as the prod uct of those countries affected by the war would probably have been mostly consumed in the countries themselves, and as they are not now in a position to use much of the metal in arts and manufactures, it seems probable that the market value of lead will not be much affected by the curtailment of production. Lead smelted from foreign ore in bond and articles manufactured from foreign lead and exported with benefit of drawback have been
