and wheat grits was 949,080 pounds for the same period. From this
it is apparent that the opportunities for the sale of wheat or wheat
flour of any kind are limited. There is much more flour imported
than wheat.
The duty on wheat is o.60 krone (16 cents), minimum, to 1 krone
(27 cents), maximum, per roo kilograms (220.46 pounds); on flour,
2 kroner (54 cents), minimum, to 3 kroner (8o cents), maximum,
per 100 kilograms.
The mills in the Kingdom of Norway equipped for the grinding
of wheat—and they usually do their own importing—are three, as
follows:
Gerdt Meyers, Vaksdal, Norway.
Fritzoe Moller, Larvik, Norway.
The Skiens Aktiemoller, Skien, Norway.
The names of other importers of wheat and other grains are
Messrs. A. C. Mohr &amp; Son-and Mr. B: E. Brynildsen, both of
Bergen. E. S. CunxNIiNGHAM, Consul.

SWEDEN.
(From United States Consul-General Adams, Stockholm, Sweden.)
There are three large macaroni factories in Sweden, viz: Sven
Lundgrist’s Fabriker, Malmo; Norrkdping's Makaronifabrik, Norrkdping;
 and Stockholm’s Makaronifabrik, Stockholm.
The import duty per 220 pounds is: On wheat, $1; on flour,
$1.72.
The average yield of wheat in Sweden is 1,300,000 tons, and the
crop of this year is said to be fully up to that quantity. The
factory managers do not report any intention of importing wheat.

(From United States Consul Bergh, Gothenburg, Sweden.)
There are five macaroni factories in Sweden, which use about
1,650,000 pounds of wheat flour annually. The flour is imported
chiefly from France, I am told, and it depends on the price whether
or not macaroni wheat can be imported from the United States.
The import duty on flour is 6.50 kronor ($1.74) per too kilograms
(220 pounds) and while high, is not prohibitive, as is shown by the
fact that Sweden during the year 1goz imported about 18,375,000
pounds of wheat flour. Flour of macaroni wheat is dutiable as
other flour. The import duty on wheat is only 3.70 kronor (99 cents)
