rlS9O the total was valued at only $685.
B97. In 1895 it amounted to $142, 165;
in 1899 it reached high tide at 74,437
and in 1900 the total was 1921, 600.
There has been also a marked change
in the imports of other comodities. For
example, in 1890 the imports of Amer
lean flour into Sweden were at only
$60,416, while in 1899 the total ran up
to nearly 5000, 000. In 1861 the annual
consumption per capita of wheat and
wheat flour was only IL Kilograms.
Now the average per capita has
reached 81 Kilograms. In 1861 the con-
sumption of coffee was 17.3 Kilograms
per capita; tea, O.08 kilograms per cap
tia, and sugar 4.87 Kilograms per CAPT
ia. Now the consumption per capita
of coffee is 34.5 Kilograms; tea, OBJ
Kilograms, and sugar 1908 Kilograms.
Says the Aftonbladet: 'The visit
of the car to France has it's deep sig
hificance. Action by France against
Turkey has been delayed until a full
understanding can be arrived at with
Russia concerning the fate of Constan-
tinople. Any blow struck at the
Turk, it is pointed out, would cut Ger
many away from its aspirations OF
empire down the Persian gulf. The
king of Italy is married to the daugh-
ter Of ''the only friend of the czar,'
the ruler of Montenegro, and is Wav-
ering in his fidelity to the triple alI-
ance He could easily be made neu-
trail by Franch concessions in Tunis.
Germany, under these conditions,
would never dare to back up the sui
tan. Therefore, Germany must look
for support from the Scandinavian
countries, which, being financially
sound, Would outweigh Italy as allies"
The Novoja Vremja recently devoted
hn article to SWeden's recent defense
activities. The reason why Sweden |
is to levy an unnecessarily heavy mil |
itary tax on her citizens depends en-
tirely on her misunderstanding of the |
Russian relations to Sweden. Russia
wants no war with Sweden, continues
the writer, and as a proof he refers to
the fact that Russia was the first ma |,
ton to recognize the Swedish NorWe-
g;an union. The paper further states
that Russia is in for better terms with
Norway and as that country is on
most peaceful footing with Russia, it
cannot understand why Sweden would
not be.
