steamships during the nine years, 1890—98. has gone up from 168,000

from 1892 to 1894 remained almost unchanged, has since that
time increased from 2,222,000 tons at the beginning of 1895, to
2,696,000 tons at the beginning of 1899, a point never before

IV. PRINCIPAL ARTICLES IMPORTED AND EXPORTED.
A. IMPORTED GOODS.
The goods imported may be divided into two chief groups
according to the object of the importation, imports for consumption
and imports for purposes of production. During the year 1898, as
mentioned above, goods were imported for the former purpose to
the value of kr. 163,000,000 (58 % of the total imports) and for
the latter purpose, to the value of kr. 117,000,000 (42%).

kr, 52,000,000, and in 1898 of kr. 97,500,000; but their ratio to
