OSAKA

513

no fewer than 5,376 are in Osaka. The number of factories, mills, or works of all kinds in Osaka in 1916 was returned as 14,233, but only ten of these employed more than one thousand hands. The Imperial Mint is also located here. This establish. ment is in active operation and turns out a coinage not surpassed by any in the world. The trade statistics of Osaka in recent years have shown remarkable growth. The imports in 1919 were valued at Yen 167,670,519 and the exports at Yen 438,837,169, as compared with Yen 137,538,443 and Yen 405,825,117 in 1918. The Osaka trade returns, however, do not afford a reliable index of the foreign trade, th greater part of which passes through the Kobe customs. Most of the goods exported from, or im- ported into, Osaka are shipped or discharged at Kobe. The population of the city is 1,252,972, according to the census taken in 1920. In 1909 a third of the city was destroyed by fire, the total damage being estimated at Yen 25,000.000. A much better class of house has taken the place of those destroyed, and the regulations for rebuilding provide for wide thoroughfares.
