wrought bar-iron, 5-31 mill, kr.; and crude bars and blooms, 5-22 mill. kr.
Even as regards metal-worb the exports (57-48 mill, kr.) for 1912 show
an excess over the imports (45-46 mill. kr.). The most important exports
were: hot-rolled iron (referred to this group) to a value of 28-26 mill, kr.;
rolled or hot-drawn tubing to a value of 3-55 mill, kr.; horse-shoe nails,
2-31! mill, kr.; brass cooking apparatus, such as oil stoves etc., 5-91 mill,
kr. The imports included the following articles: railway and tramway
rails, 6-64 mill, kr.; girders etc., and other hot-rolled iron, 6-08 mill, kr.;
iron tubing, rolled or hot-drawn, 3-01 mill, kr.; and electric cables and
wiring, 4-51 mill. kr. — Paper and paper-pulp, 1912 imports 4-60 mill,
kr., exports 134-31 mill. kr.
The nine groups dealt with above represent an import value of 186 mill,
kr. and an export value of 624 mill. kr. for 1912.
A survey of the imports of Sweden, grouped according to the uses to
which they are put, and of the exports, grouped according to the chief industries
to which wares trace their origin, is given by Table 107.
In the above general view the feature calling for special attention is
the fact that the imports of raw materials for the support of the industries
show a relatively extremely important increase. We observe that in
1911 the importation of wares for feeding the productive industries
amounted to 59-45 % of the total imports, and of this percentage 49-42 °fo
is represented by raw materials and 10-03 by machinery, transport appliances,
etc.
Of the imports of articles o f consumption in 1912 — totalling
37-56 % of the total imports — 19-94 % is represented by articles of food and
