33.5 % in 1898, while that of Germany has only risen from 23.8 %
to 24.0 %. As regards our imports, the two countries are on
about the same level, but as a market for Norwegian products,

as in 1898 no less than 41.6 % of our exports went to that country.

We may also mention that the commerce with Sweden, on
account of the above-mentioned change in the customs relations.
was much smaller in 1898 than in the year immediately preceding;
but it is nevertheless larger than it was 30 years ago. Sweden’s
share in our total commerce amounted in 1866—70 to 7 %, in
1891—95 to 14.5 % and in 1898 to 8.9 %.
