WITH CONDITIONS DURfNG 1922
I STOCKHOLM. Jan: 15.- Swedish
; bankers, taking stock 'of the year
11D22. are sa;isf‘.-J with tha^finsncial
j accomplishments of the 12 months.
; Th"re has been extensive recor.stnt; -
| tion and consolidation of banks, a:i I
! moire than $80,000,000 in las ■;, has
' be :-n writ', n off, largely from re
; servo funds. This sum is eq .al to
[about 27 per cent of the tola', re
i sources of the private banks, in no
lease did depositors suffer loss. Bunk
i era believe that all danger,;,u con
|ditIons have now been eliminate*. A
I new issue of 40,000,000 crow is in
! ‘ lock of the Svenska Handelsba .lv.’;a
was absorbed immediately.
Tiie general economic re o • 1 f
I the year is regarded as satisfactory.
| Lumber exports reached nearly 900,
j 000 standards, about equal ihe
! pre-war normal.
j Exports of wood pulp and paper
increased steadily, upwards of 250,
000 tons of chemical pulp having
been shipped to the United State",
alone. Although the iron industries
are improving re iher slowly, it is
recorded that the biggest mining
company exported nearly 4,000,000
tons of iron ore, and that the United
States imported about hull' a million
tons of Swedish ore durtng tun year
T!io textile Industry Is improving rap
idly, having increased its working
force about 25 per cent during tbs
year. The merchant has made prog
ress, as les3 than S-10 of 1 per cont
of tile ships ar> now idle, com
1 pared with 44 per cent in July of
1921.
Unemployment has been reduced
'from 158,000 at the beginning of (lie
last year to about 2,8.000 during De
| camber. Although wages have in
I most cases been revised downward,
; this has been matcher^ by a re lm
; tion in the cost of living. Lower
' prices on foodstuffs, however, have
reached unfavorably on the farmers,
whose crops have not been quite up
■ to the standard.
Meanwhile, Sweden's trade balance
is improving. During the first nine
months of the year Sweden shipped
$18,897,592 worth of goods to the
United States, which beats the rec
ord for the corresponding period of
'list year by about $7,000,000. Dur
ing the same period imports from
; the United States decreased from
| $29,649,089 to $21,967,045.
