Of steam-engines, locomotives and other machinery we
imported in 1897 for 7.6 million, and in 1898 for 9 million kr. In
the fifties and sixties we only imported for a few hundred thousand
kr. of such goods, and in the seventies and eighties for a couple
of million kr.

The following diagram shows the value of our import of raw
materials and machines and of our exportations of industrial products.

........ Import of machines and implements.


Of vessels, we bought from abroad, during the years 1891 to
1895, on an average 88,300 register tons, and in 1898, 130,000
register tons, of which 70,500 register tons are represented by
steamships.

Of manufactured metal goods, whereof a part is included under
the above-mentioned head of household goods, there was imported
a total of somewhat more than 23 million kr. in 1898, chiefly
iron goods. During the years 1866—1870, the total amount of
the import of manufactured metal goods was only 3 or 4 million kr.

        

B. EXPORTED GOODS.



Timber and fishery products are now, as formerly, our most
important articles of export. A characteristic feature, however,
of our export trade of late has been the constant and very rapidly
growing export of industrial products. Of the total value of
exports in 1898 — 159 million kr. — 59 million kr. are represented
