TIN CRISIS
EXPOSES
HAZARDS

Editor's ‘Note; Two: weeks ‘ago, Cominco Lid.

are based upon London Metal Exchange | quotations,

LONDON (REUTER) — The failure of the
International Tin Council to act quickly to resolve the
world’s tin crisis has exposed potential hazards facing all
international commodity price stabilization pacts, say
analysts and diplomats.

The International Tin Agreement is the’ oldest of |
such pacts and had the reputation of being the most
successful.

Bu the current ‘chaos in the tin market, which
erupted when. the council ran out of funds to continue
propping up prices above free market levels, highlights
how difficult it is for such agreements to fight the laws of
supply and demand.

International commodity pacts are coming under
closer scrutiny by countries like the United States, which
under President Ronald Reagan has grown increasingly
lukewarm towards tinkering with the marketplace.

But analysts say neither ‘commodity consuming nor

producing countries would benefit from the vacuum and
rapid loss of goodwill t that could follow the demise of such
at i

Perhaps the main lesson to be drawn from the recent
history of the tin market is that any type of commodity
pact is only as strong as the willingness of its members to
make it work.

MAINTAIN PRICES

Like that for tin, the pacts which administer world

trade in cocoa and rubber are essentially buffer stock

relying on and sales to
keep supplies and seman in balance and maintain prices
within an agreed bai

But unlike tin, nese agreements buy only on the
physical market and do not require credit to finance
buying and selling of future contracts such as those
traded on the London Metal Exchange, the world’s
leading metals trading forum.

They are not therefore as vulnerable to a sudden loss
of confidence, like that which forced the tin pact’s buffer
stock to he had ded price
support buying on Oct. 24, leading to suspension of tin
trading on the metal exchange.

Another difference from tin is that all purchase
contracts are covered by existing cash reserves. Dealers
would never have to wait for assurances from sovereign
states on whether or not they will honor their
commitments.

In addition, their operations are controlled by much
tighter rules. This dimini: their market ii but
prevents them from becoming more deeply committed
than their members are ultimately willing to stomach.

‘Tin's problems show what can happen if a buffer
stock continues to mop up surplus world output over a
long period, particularly if price support levels are
artifically hi,

SURPLUS PRODUCTION

Producers are encouraged to produce while world
consumption is eroded by substitution of cheaper alter-
natives. A balance between world supply and demand is
achieved only by an ever-expanding buffer stock.

The situation is made worse when some major
producers do not belong to the agreement and enjoy the
windfall of higher prices without having to make
sacrifices. This is the position of Bolivia and Brazil in the
current tin crisis.

The i Coffee A which uses

export quotas to curb price swings, has proved more
flexible than most in managing the world coffee economy.
It has no buffer stock, with its attendant difficulties, and
since producers have to finance their own excess stocks,
overproduction is discouraged.
; The pacts for wheat and sugar, both abject failures in
the past, have for the moment abandoned :any attempt to
contro] prices but continue as administrative pacts,
providing a forum for consultation and exchange of
information.

One way in which some commodity pacts may evolve
is along the lines of international study groups, like those
for rubber as well as'lead and zinc. By discussing the

Stick business no game

MONTREAL (CP) — The
humble hockey stick, once
little more thar a strip of ash
and a layer of tape, is at the
centre of a_fiercely eompeti-
tive, | $70-million industry,
that scrambles for player en-
dorsements to spur sales.

Today a stunning variety

of equipment is available,
with as many as 45 lamin-
ations. and everything from
fibreglass or aluminum shafts
to’ plastic and _ graphite
blades, selling for as little as
$6.45, as much as $39.95.
_ And with 18 companies
competing for a share of the
North American market —
$50 million in sales in Can-
ada, $20 million in the U.S. —
the rush is on to get National
Hockey. League stars to use
and endorse particular
brands.

The makers of Titan sticks,
one of the fastest growing
Canadian brands, are trying
to sign up “every 50-goal
scorer we can,” says Doug
Barbor, president ‘of Karhu-
Titan Inc. of Cowansville,
Que.

“We've filmed a television
commercial with (New York
Islanders’) Mike Bossy and
(Edmonton Oilers’) Wayne
Gretzky called Encounter of
the Titans,” says Barbor.

“We've also signed’ up
Mario Lemieux, Michel Gou-
let, Lanny McDonald, Tony
Tanti, Rick Vaive, Rod Lan-
gway and Mike O'Connell.”

Gretzky's business agent,
Mike Barnett, says the super-
star has worked for Titan
from, his first’ NHL season.

GROWING TOGETHER

“As he's grown in profile,
so has the hockey stick. The
benefits to them are beyond
what they anticipated.”

Although Barnett would
not reveal what Titan pays
Gretzky, he confirmed ‘it is
well over $100,000 a year.

Titan sticks have 22 per
cent of the North American
market, Barbor said, putting
it close to Sher-Wood, the
leader with an estimated 26
per cent of the market. —

“Another company, Finnish-
owned Amer Group Ltd., is

Plant approved

A joint venture between
Cominco Ltd. and Alberta
Energy Company Ltd. (AEC)
has received approval from
the Alberta Energy
Resources Conservation
Board to start construction of
a nitrogen fertilizer plant
near Joffre, in central Al-
berta.

Cominco Chemicals and
Fertilizers, a _ Division. of
Cominco Ltd., will construct
and operate the plant which
will produce 350,000 tonnes a
year of anhydrous ammonia,
a primary nitrogen fertilizer.

AEC, which will own the
plant as well as storage fac-
ilities to be constructed in

Saskatchewan and North
Dakota, will provide $105
million of -the total cost;
Cominco will pay the remain-
ing $11 million.

Under the joint-venture
arrangement, AEC will re-
ceive 25 per cent of the rev-
enue from the new plant and
from two existing. Alberta-
based Cominco fertilizer op-
erations, one of which is to be

making both the Koho and
Canadien brands.

Koho has based most of its
1985 advertising on Edmon-
ton’s Jari Kurri and’ Mon-
treal's Larry Robinson.

Kurri has a fol

jor seller, Canadien sticks.
“Denis has appeal because
he plays in the U.S. and lives
in Montreal in the off-season
— a real attraction in both
countries,” Whittaker adds.

and in Europe, where the
stick is a big seller, ‘says
Koho marketing boss, Gary
Whittaker.

A national advertising pro-
gram last year featured Rob-
inson and his son, Jeff, deck-
ed out in Koho pads, helmets,
gloves and sticks.

Construction activity in
Castlegar was given a boost
in October thanks to start of

$140,000 or 50 per cent more
than the $277,380 in permits
issued in October, 1984.

‘And the biggest chunk of
this October's permit value
was the $225, 000 health unit
addition.

Every other. construction
category was also up from
last October, except residen-

Fernandez still
looking for cure

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Mervyn Fernandez strode
gracefully to the podium
without any noticeable jimp
at the divisional awards
banquet Friday night.

“Anyone out there with a
miracle cure for a thigh in-
jury?” asked the injured wide
receiver of British Columbia
Lions before accepting the
Jeff Nicklin Memorial Tro-
phy. The trophy is awarded
annually to the player con-
sidered most valuable to his
team in the Western Division
of the Canadian Football
League.

Fernandez has been ruled
out of today’s western final
against Winnipeg Blue Bom-
bers because of a thigh injury
which has produced a small
bone growth in the quadri-
ceps’ muscle.

BOSTON (AP) — Craig Laughlin scored the tying
goal on a power play early in the third period, enabling
Washington Capitals to become the first visiting team to
earn a point on Boston ice this season in a 2-2 overtime
draw with the Bruins.

Laughlin was credited with his fourth goal of the
season when Larry Murphy's long shot deflected off his
body and past goalie Doug Keans at 6:08, just 30 seconds
after Boston's Ken Linseman was penalized for hocking.

‘The power-play goal was the fourth of the game as

team unbeaten at home.

With the score tied 1-1 in a penalty-filled contest,

nifty passing play with Michel Goulet. The two Nordiques
had a two-on-break against Buffalo defenceman Bill Hajt,
and Goulet fed Shaw a pass from the left side. Shaw
merely had to redirect the puck into the half-empty
Sabres goal for his second goal of the season.
