selting is supplanting other forms of belting, the miscellaneous
list of rubber articles exported is increasing and the trade in several
articles on this list is growing. Although 75 per cent. of the rubber
absorbed in industry is used in the manufacture of tyres, exports
of tyres in 1928 from seven of the leading manufacturing countries
formed by value only 56 per cent. of the total exports of rubber
manufactures from those countries. The percentage varied greatly
from country to country, being very high for Italy, Belgium and
France and very low for Germany. In the United Kingdom and
the United States exports, tyres form somewhat less and somewhat
more respectively than half the total exports of rubber goods. The
percentages are as follows :—
