SAWING AND EXPORT.
665
From the point of view of value, the largest items of our timber
exports, in 1900, were: deals and battens, amounting to 7374 million kronor,
and boards, valued at 53’34 millions; these two articles together thus totaling
127’08 million kronor, or 82’7 % of our total export of unwrought timber. Next
follow pitprops with ll’si million kronor; beams and rafters with 6 54 mill.;
board and deal ends with 3oi mill.; round timber with 2*34 mill, kronor;
mouldings, laths, and ribs with O 95 mill.; staves with 0’81 mill.; sleepers with
0*65 mill.; other articles together 0’84 mill. Total 153 75 million kronor.
(Å krona = T10 shilling or 0’2 6 8 dollar).

A considerable export of timber goes over land to Norway. Formerly
the Swedish statistics have in this respect been very incomplete; thus,
in 1900, the value of the exports of unwrought timber to Norway should
amount only to about 330,000 kronor, while according to the Norwegian
statistics it amounts to 5,700,000 kronor. From 1902 inclusive the Swedish
statistics also are fully reliable on this point. This latter year the
stated value was 5,626,000 kronor.
In the above quantities and values is not included the timber floated
from Sweden to Norway. According to a calculation made by I.
Flod-ström, the quantity of this timber has averaged, yearly, in 1891/95, via
the following rivers: Enningsdalselfven 5,400 cubic meters,
Tistedals-elfven 48,500, and Flisenelfven 35,000, or altogether 88,900 cubic meters.
