and some buck-wheat and millet with a value of one
million marks. A more doubtful matter is the import
of 6700 tons of maize from Russia, since it is free
of duty, while maize from other countries pays duty.
The same is the case with pork, salted or otherwise
preserved, and apples which are imported from Russia
to the value of about a million marks. Then there is
the relatively valuable import already mentioned of
4 million marks’ worth of bran and oil cakes, of which
the greater part comes from Russia; there is also meat
and other animal produce, and 25 million eggs with a
value of 1¼ million marks. Also we have one million
marks’ worth of potato-meal, onions, and other
vegetables; flax-seed to the value of one million marks;
crushed bone half a million marks, and hide worth
2 million marks. The advantage for Finland is
doubtful in the case of those goods which are
imported duty-free from Russia, alone of all countries;
such as those mentioned above as well as petroleum
and other oils valued at 3 million marks; ready-made
clothing valued at about 2 million marks; cotton
piece-goods to the value of 3 million marks; woollens
to the value of 1½ million marks, some linen goods,
and again some yarn, and thread valued at 1½ million
marks; shoes to the value of one million marks; and
finally 2½ million marks’ worth of rubber goods,
especially rubber shoes, which are much used in this
northern climate. We have also those articles on
which some duty is paid, but less duty than when they

tons of sugar of the value of 8 million marks; half the
Finnish import of tobacco; and the wines and liqueurs
which are, still less than tobacco, a cheap product in
Russia. On the other hand, the export of Finland to
Russia consists partly of articles whose import would
