In 1869 there were also exported to the United States. 2,524 centners 
of cast-steel; 1,198 centners of iron plates; 13,933 centners of scrap 
iron; 38,528 centners of manufactured iron; also some small'lots of 
lumber. 
The total value of exports from Sweden to the United States, in 1869, 
was $14,630,000—greater than in any previous year except 1867. But 
while exports to the United States were increasing, with a fair prospect 
of continuing to do so, exports to Sweden from this country were 
diminishing; “the value of goods imported from the United States in 1860 
was $24,631 600, and in 1361 it was nearly the same; but in 1869 it had 
fallen to. $2 120, 400, The import of cotton from the United States was 
wholly superseded in 1869, and principally by imports from London of 
cotton the main part of which was not produced in this country. It 
will be seen, from the above table, that the import of tobacco leaves 
and stalks from the United States was also gradually diminishing; but 
the import of petroleum produced here was somewhat rapidl y increasing.
