worth 3½ millions, and tallow to the value of one
million marks. Wheat-flour and meat come, of course,
from other countries, especially the United States, only

cotton to the value of 3½ million marks, and one
million marks’ worth of wool. The total import from
England in 1899 was of the value of about 41 million
marks.
