textile and clothing industry.

Although the home production is so considerable, this group of
manufactures is one of those that figure most in Swedish imports, which testifies
to the fact that the Swedish textile industry is far from sufficient to supply
the country’s own needs. During the last few years, however, it lias
increased in a most remarkable way, above all as regards the manufacture
of yarn and articles of clothing, the value of which has multiplied many
times during the last ten years. From Table 78 appears that the imports
of articles of this class — raw materials as well as manufactured goods
— during 1871—80 amounted to 65 million kronor per annum; during
1881—90, to 85 millions; during the years 1891—1900 to 84 million
kronor; from .1901—1910 to 103 millions, and in 1912 to 130 million
kronor. In comparison with the total imports, a decrease is noticeable,
however, the imports of this group of manufactures in the beginning of
the decade 1871—80 forming 27 % of our entire imports, but nowadays
only about 17 %.
One favourable circumstance is that the import of yarn and
manufactured goods has not undergone any increase worth mentioning during the
last few years, while, on the other hand, there has been an increase in
the import of raw materials. This points to the fact that the Swedish
textile industry is in a most flourishing condition, which is the case
especially with regard to the cotton industry. For example, we find

Note. Concerning the import- and export tables it should be remarked, that the year
1912 is not quite comparable in every respect with earlier years, on account of alterations
in the official grouping of the wares.

as textile fabrics, ribbons, embroideries, hats, bonnets and clothes, etc., and for the years
