JAPAN'S CONSUMPTION OF RUBBER. 



A LONDON subscriber to The India Rubber World in- 

 quires for information regarding tlie consumption of 

 crude India-rubber in Japan. He says : " I linow shipments 

 have gone there, but could not find for what purpose or in what 

 POUNDS, branches of trade it is used." There are two 



1892-93 900 rubber factories at Toliio, exclusive of some 



1093-94 '.932 small insulated wire plants, one of which dates 



1894-95 3.3'>l '^ 



1895-96 7,590 back nearly twenty years and now employs 



1896-97 ... 8,820 225 hands, with a capital equal to $250,000. 



'ST'' ''"^ Rubber is imported from lava, Sumatra, Bor- 



1898-99 4,009 "^ ■* 



1899-00. .. 10,756 neo, and Saigon. The manager at one time 



1900-01 10,295 informed The India Rubher World that 



their Pard rubber was imported from New York, on account 

 of more favorable freight charges than from any other port- 

 The figures in the margin show the quantities officially stated 

 to have been exported from the United States during the 

 past nine fiscal years. The British official trade returns fail to 

 specify the destination of exports of rubber except to the more 

 important consuming countries, and therefore do not embrace 

 the shipments, if any, to Japan.
