Sweden has also a very great import and export of metal work,
but with a considerable surplus of the former. The greatest article of
import in this class is rails (5’9 million kronor in 1902), the
greatest export articles, however, are pipes and pipe-parts of iron and
steel, etc. The group machinery and tools (including vessels) has a
certain connection to this group, with great and growing import and
export, the former amounting in 1902 to upwards of 3U and the latter
to nearly 17 million kronor. Among imported articles of this group,
we notice vessels (4-o2 million kronor); the export of this group
embraces a large number of different articles, only one of which, however,
amounts to a considerable total, i. e., the separators, of which we
exported during the year to a value of 7*2 8 million kronor.
Of the articles not classifiable under the aforesaid groups, and
forming a final group in our commercial statistics, the import is always
somewhat higher, too, than the export (in 1902 respectively 7-9 2 and
3-07 million kronor).
Out of the 25 groups, into which our import and export trade is
divided in Table 131 (coin excluded) we have now treated of 18. The total
import of these groups amounted in 1902 to 442 million kronor, while the
export did not amount to more than 75 million. Now we will proceed to:
1 According to the official statistics. The classification is here somewhat different
from that otherwise used in this work. — * Including fishery products. — a See the note
