The maia interest is attached to the exports of butter and pork, these 

 being- the two most important agricultural export articles for Denmark. 

 Thequantityofbutterexporteddiiringl892-'l>3was 105.4.5 milli(m pounds 

 (avoirdnpois), against G3.66 during 1882-'92, and 100.22 in lS91-'92. 

 The imports of butter during the same years were as follows: 1892-'93, 

 20.48 million pounds ; 1882-'92, 14.29 ; and 1891-'92, 24.26 ; or the excess 

 exports of butter during the periods mentioned were 78.96, 49.37, and 

 75.96 million pounds (avoirdupois), respectively. The excess exports of 

 butter during 1882-83 were 29.32 million pounds. The butter exports 

 over and above imports have thns almost trebled duriugthe last 10 years. 



Of the 105 million pounds of butter exported during 1892-'93 nearly 

 102 million pounds went to England. Sweden and Denmark supply 

 more tha ii one half, and Denmark alone two rifths, of the butter imported 

 into England. 



The average price for the year paid for first-class Danish butter was 

 32.1 cts. per pound (Danish) during 1893, against 33.5 cts. during 1892 

 ( = 29.2 cts. and 30.5 cts. per pound avoirdupois, respectively). 



The total excess exports of pork from Denmark during 1893 amounted 

 to 84.14 million pounds, or an increase of 5.63 million pounds obove the 

 excess during the preceding yeai-. The report states that with higher 

 prices for pork and lower prices for grain feeds, hog raivsing has been 

 very profitable during the past year and was doubtless the most remun- 

 erative line of auimal husbandry in Denmark. (See also Landmands-
