million marks in 1897; 190,000 tons and 29 million
marks in 1896, and for instance 85,000 tons and 15
million marks in 1888, 69,000 tons and 13 million
marks in 1887; and 77,000 tons and 21 million
marks in 1886. Rye and rye-flour have especially
increased; rye to 78,000 tons and 11 million marks
in 1899, against only 37,000 tons in 1898, 30,000
tons in 1897, and between 20,000 and 21,000 tons in
1895 and 1896; rye-flour to 145,000 tons and 23
million marks in 1899, against only 95,000 tons in
1898, and about the same amount in former years.
The amount of imported rye has in latter years been
four times as much per head as thirty years ago, in
1866—68 (3.79 kilos per head). The import of wheaten-flour
has increased considerably, and the increase has
continued into the year 1900, the amount per head
now being five times as much as in 1866—68, when
it was only 3.56 kilos. Even oats, which a few years
ago, in 1896, could be exported to the value of 7
million marks, are at present imported in considerable
quantities — a proof that the cattle are being better
fed. Maize was imported to the extent of about
10,000 tons, and the value of about 11/5 million marks,
notwithstanding the duty on its import from any
other country than Russia; against 8000 tons in
1898, 4000 tons in the two former years, and only
1500 tons in 1891. In 1899 about 9½ million
marks’ worth of animal produce was imported,
against less than 7 millions in 1898, less than 5½
in 1897, and 4½ millions in 1896. The import of
meat and pork, partly American — notwithstanding the
prohibition to import American pork without special
permission — was of the value of over 7 million marks
in 1899, against less than 5 millions in 1898, and
less than 4 millions in 1897. The import of
