82 THE FOREST RESOURCES OF THE WORLD. 



The exports were distributed as follows:

Small amounts of timber go to Sweden, Iceland, Spain, and Brazil. 



ROUMANIA. 



Satisfactory data as to the cut and growth of forests in Romania 

 can not be had, but the forest area per capita is too small to expect 

 much increase in export in the future, although of late years it has 

 grown rapidly, as transportation developed. 



SUMMARY FOR EUROPE. 



The following table shows the great increase in the export timber 

 trade of the world's leading export countries. 



Value of export timber trade of leading export countries. a 



a Endres, loc. cit. 



In 1903 the total import of Europe was 1,164,900,000 cubic feet, 

 and the total export 1,023,700,000 cuoic feet, showing an excess import 

 of 141,200,000 cubic feet. 



This balance is made up chiefly from Canada and the United States. 

 A brief summary of Europe leads to the following conclusions: 



1. The leading import countries, Great Britain, Germany, France, 

 Belgium, Switzerland, etc., are rapidly increasing the amount of 

 their imports, and this increase is certain to continue. 



2. Russia, Finland, and Sweden only of the export countries can 

 increase to any great extent their export without reducing their tim- 

 ber capital.
