These tables show that in Eussia, exclusive of Finland, there were in 1884, 167 

 regular paper mills manufacturing- paper and cardboard of various kinds; these mills 

 employed 15,195 hands, contained 185 paper-making machines and had an annual produc- 

 tion of 16,616,000 roubles. If the wall-paper mills and the factories of miscellaneous 

 paper goods be added, the total number amounts to 270, employing 18,909 hands 

 with a yearly production of 21,275,000 roubles. If the export and import of paper 

 be compared to these iigures it is found that in 1884 the import of 2,135,485 roubles 

 is about 10-26 per cent, and the export of 165,361 amounts to 0*79 per cent of the 

 internal production.
