TIN SCRAP DUMPED
No Licence Available For Valuable Export By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, February 21. Tin scrap previously valued at £7 a ton is being dumped in Auckland for the reason that a licence for export cannot be obtained and nothing can be done with it. It is estimated that the loss daily is at least £3O, and it is reported that as a result of the embargo one firm is losing £3OOO a rear on its waste products. There is a ready market in Britain. Germany, and Japan for scrap tin, which is treated and rolled into tin sheet.
