30 Progress’of production of tyres. factory was £10,019,000 a slight increase on the 1927 total. Sales of tyres during the year were valued at £10,579,800 of which £9,580,000 represented domestic sales and £999.800 sales for ex. port. 104. Numbers of different kinds of tyres produced in Germany in 1928 show an increase in production on previous years in all cases except pedal cycle tyres and solid tyres for motor vehicles. Since the end of 1927 the demand for solid tyres has declined owing to the preference for pneumatic tyres and to the imminence in certain localities of legislation to prohibit the use of solid tyres. The total value of the raw materials used in the tyre industry in 1928 was less than that in 1927, but the decrease was due to the decline in the price of raw rubber. Of the total value of the raw materials used by the 23 factories reporting, namely £5,250,000, crude rubber accounted for about 50 per cent., fabric for 31 per cent., chemicals for 13 per cent. and reclaimed rubber for three per cent. The remaining three per cent. included steel rims for solid tyres and other semi-manufactured materials of steel. iron. wire and the like XXII.—THE INDUSTRY IN JAPAN. Production. 105. As we have shown in paragraph 18, Japan occupies the sixth place in the world production of rubber manufactured goods. In 1929, the Japanese industry absorbed 84,000 tons of crude rubber, or 4.22 per cent. of the world absorption. The following table summarises the official figures of production during recent years :— Production of Rubber Manufactured Goods in Japan. Year.

The works have been re-erected, and manufacture has recently been restarted
