.&YEAR PEAK SET
!. BY RUBBER TRADE
Sales of Industrial Goods
Soar rs to As Per Cent
Above Year Aqo.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

-
NEW YORK, September 4-Half-
year totals for both production and
distribution in most divisions of the
rubber goods industry moved up to
an eight-year high. according to Z
survey by Dun Il Bradstreet, Inc.
Although production of automobile
tires started downward in April, and
by June was under last years rate,
at the ma jority Of other plants sched-
ules were unchanged. The widest gain
for the first six months was recorded
for industrial rubber goods, sales of
which rose IS to IS per cent from the
1885 comparative, with q new record
established for the distribution of some
factory equipment lines, ONCE supplies
and novelties.
For the first time since 1928 m
increase in replacement tire sales over
the preceding years is indicated.
Trade estimates have set the 1887 total
at 3l,200,000 tires, as compared with
20, 700 900 in 1896, an increase of ST.
per cent. AS the estimate for original
equipment. however has been stepped
down to 25,000,000 tires, the total
1887 automobile tire production will
be lowered to 56,20O,OO0 units, a de-
cline Of 3.3 per cent from the 1885
production Of 58,l16,00O, as compiled
by the Rubber Manufacturers Asso-
clatlon, Inc, and the first drop since
1892.
Even should the current tense labor
situation in the tire division reach a
crisis, when planned large-scale lay
ons start, the closing of all plants by
q strike for the remainder of 1897
would cause no inconvenience to
either automobile producers or users
At mid-August inventories were the
largest on record, plants holding
around 12.5oo,oo units, dealers about
1000, 900 and automobile manufac-
turers 100000.
Reduction of operations in many
divisions Of the industry, which started
IN June, did not prevent production
for the first six months from surpass-
Ing that OF 1896. Renewed activity of
Idle equipment and long-needed re-
pairs and replacements by heavy users
polstered output of industrial rubber
products from 20 to so per cent above
last years. In some lines of betting
washers and Insulating ma
terlas the comparative gain exceeded
the top range. On rubber novelties.
