Currently, British demand is drastically down, and Alcan's British market has dropped from 205,000 tons in 1956 to 153,000 tons last year. At the same time, Russian aluminum exports to Britain have soared from 197 tons in 1956 to an annual rate of 23,000 tons. Reason: Red aluminum sells for $510 a ton v. the Canadian price...
