PAPER IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



EXPORTS. 



Medium and fine printing paper and correspondence and pack- 

 ing paper are exported from Wurttemberg. The prices range from 

 500 to 1,500 marks ($119 to $357) per ton of 1,000 kilograms (2,204.6 

 pounds), free on board ship at Hamburg or Bremen. The ship- 

 ments are mostly made through paper dealers in London to South 

 America, Bombay, and Africa, and direct to Russia, Turkey, Italy, 

 Spain, and the Danubian principalities. The export of paper to the 

 United States from this consular district is very small; in the calen- 

 dar year 1898, it amounted to only $770.88 for printed paper and 

 $541.71 for labels. 



TRANSPORTATION. 



To the eastern countries, regular steamship lines run from two 

 to four times a month from German, Italian, and Austrian ports. 

 To North, South, and Central America, various steamship lines run 

 from North German, English, Belgian, and Dutch ports; also, from 

 Genoa. 



The cost of transportation from domestic points of origin to 

 mills in Wurttemberg can not be given, as it depends on the dis- 

 tance; and every mill would have to be applied to for this informa- 

 tion and would probably refuse to give it. 



Rates of transportation from the ports of entry at Bremen or 

 Hamburg to Stuttgart are: 



By water from Rotterdam to Mannheim, thence by rail to Stutt- 

 gart, the rates are:
