I have no data on use of hides not sold. The amounts produced, 
sold, and used are not of much importance in Sia economy. 
PELTS 
These are the skins of sheep primarily, but may include a few goats.

Sheep pelts were formerly used extensively as rugs or mats for 
floors and beds. This item, too, is an insignificant one in the Sia 
economy.

chili, beans, fruit, etc.) is shown in table 14.
