Japanese Rubber Statistics. 



FOLLOWING up the general statistics of Japanese imports for the calendar years 1908, 1909 and 1910. which appeared in the 

 June issue (page 306). the subjoined table, based on statistics received from a correspondent, shows the details and sources 

 of imports at Yokohama during the month of May, 1911. The importations at that point being chiefly for the consumption 

 of Tokio and other districts of central Japan, this return, while dealing with only one month, is typical in character; particularly 

 as it represents almost the last receipts under the old Japanese tariff, which expired on July 17. Extracts from both the old and 

 new tariffs appeared in the .■\ugust issue of The Indi.a Rubber World (page 454), and the incidence of the new tariff will be 

 reported in due time. 



Taking the aggregate imports thus shown, in comparison with those from the United States, it will be found that apart from 

 insulating wire, this country shared to the extent of about 35 per cent, in the Yokohama imports of manufactures of rubber 

 for Mav. 1911.
