In that year the price was 12_s._ 7½_d._ per oz. troy, in 1890 it was 25_s._ 3_d._, and in 1900, 63_s._ 1½_d._ The average prices in London and New York for the years 1910–1919 were as shown on the accompanying tables: Average price in pounds per troy oz. of refined metals of the platinum group in London ─────────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬───────┬─────┬─────┬───── │1910.│1911.│1912.│1913.│1914.│1915.│ 1916. │1917.│1918.│1919. ─────────┼─────┼─────┼─────┼─────┼─────┼─────┼───────┼─────┼─────┼───── Platinum │ 9·1│ 8·6│ 9·5│ 9·5│ 8·1│ 10·9│10–14·5│ 14·5│ 20│ 24 Metals │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ─────────┴─────┴─────┴─────┴─────┴─────┴─────┴───────┴─────┴─────┴───── 1910, 1915, 1916 and 1917—_Metal Market Year Book_. 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914—_Mining Magazine_.
