These figures ean not, however, be considered quite correct. 

 With the year 1893, a new system of valuation was adopted for the 

 statistics covering import and export from and to Norway, and in 

 1894 this new system was adopted in all the statistics of trade. It 

 was believed that the values previously calculated were too high. 

 Thus, the decrease in business which the foregoing figures seem to 

 indicate as beginning with the years 1893 and 1894 did not actually 

 take place. It will be noticed that after the year 1894 the sums in- 

 crease again. If the same prices had been calculated for the year 

 1894 as for 1893, the figures for the first year mentioned would have 

 been as follows: Imports, $1,174,100; exports, $8,910,200; which 

 shows that the export of paper really increased.
