NITRATE FOR EXPLOSIVES
BIG PURCHASES BY SOVIET By Cable. — Press Association. — Copyright. LONDON, Tuesday. There has been an interesting development in the extent of Russia’s purchases of Chilean nitrate in recent months. High-grade quality, which is exclusively used in the production of explosives, is bought in Chile, the finance being arranged in Berlin. It is understood that so far this year 50,000 tons of nitrate have been purchased and more is sought. In 1926 Russia’s purchases only totalled 2,000 tons, and before the war the maximum was 15,000 tons a year. Even during the war the total bought did not exceed 100,000 tons a year.—Times
