Export Association.
Among other hinds of unwrought timber, we may here briefly mention
only laths and trellis-wood, which is almost exclusively shipped to
England and Denmark, and wood for fuel, which is principally exported from
our most southerly ports to Denmark.
As regards value, deals, battens, and boards (unplaned), and other sawn goods
were, in 1912, by far the largest item in the Swedish timber exports, amounting
to no less than 110’3 million kronor. Planed boards were exported to a value
of 22*5 million kronor. Then come beams (balks) and rafters, to a value of
7-7 million kronor, round timber to a sum of 3’9 million kronor and pit-prqps.
to 2’6 million kronor.
The not unimportant export of wood wares to Norway is carried on
only in part by sea (about 30 000 cub. meters), part is sent by rail, and
part is floated. Of course it is mostly timber and other round goods that
are floated.
In regard to the prices of timber, particulars are certainly given in our
commercial statistics, but it is difficult to summarize these figures for
the different kinds, so as to give a distinct idea of the fluctuations of price.
Instead, we here give a diagram for one of the most important kinds,
namely "thirds" in red battens (according to the present french sorting;
see above), which will no doubt give a pretty faithful idea of the average
