The manufactures, imports and exports during 1900—12 are also
indicated by the following graphs, which have been based upon particulars
obtained chiefly from Svenska cellulosaföreningen.
While, during the last 12 years, the imports have not shown any great
increase, the exports have more than trebled. Paper, like wood-pulp, is
one of the most important articles of Swedish export.
Apart from insignificant quantities of wrapping paper, intended for
special uses, such as straw waste paper, the paper imported chiefly
comprises various sorts of more valuable paper, which are not made in Sweden,
and of which only small quantities are used. The exports, on the other
hand, include two great groups: newspaper paper (63 000 tons, of the value
of 9-78 million kronor), and fine and coarse wrapping paper (98 000 tons,
of the value of 20-19 million kronor).
7. MANUFACTURES FROM VARIOUS VEGETABLE
MATERIALS.
In 1912 there were in Sweden 31 factories engaged in the manufacture
of such goods, employing in all 731 hands and with an output amounting
to 2 664 000 kronor. The most important article under this category is
cork. Aktiebolaget Wikanders Korkfabrik, in Stockholm, which also
owns Göteborgs Korkfabrik, Gothenburg, is of European importance in
its branch, possessing as it does large branch-establishments at Abo,
Helsingfors, Riga, Libau and Odessa, with a total output of 25 million
kronor. The output in Sweden is estimated at a value of more than 2 million
kronor per annum. Altogether there were in 1912 a total of 14 cork-

and exports, on the other, are not comparable, for which reason the particulars for 1911
are given, since they are more satisfactorily comparable.
