WASHINGTON, June 2, Krank H. Hitch
cock, chief ot the foreign markets section
of the Agricultural department, has pre
pared a comprehensive article on the
growth of tho trade between the United
States and the Scandinavian countries--
Denmark, Sweden and Norway during the
ten years from 1S90 to 1900 Inclusive. It
shows that In tho ten years subsequent to
1890 Uultcd States exports to these threo
countries roso from $9,000,000 to nearly
(29,000,000. Imports from Scandinavia are
small, being below $4,000,000 in 1890 aud
only a little moro than JS.000,000 In 1900,
whlcn was tho record year In Imports.
Denmark Is the principal factor In Scan
dinavian trade, the exports to that country
for 1900 having a value of moro than $18,
000,000, whllo the combined shipments to
Sweden and Norway were valued at about
$10,000,090. The ofllclal trade returns of
the United States do not present separate
statements of the commerce carried on
with Sweden and Norway, but the latter
country Is at present the more Important
customer.
Slnco 1890, when United States exports to
Denmark were valued at little ropro than
$5,000,000, and exports to Sweden and Nor
way at less than $4,000,000, the former,
according to the records of 1900, have In
creased over $13,000,000 and the latter
about $7,000,000.
Although Denmark Is the leading destlna
Hon of exports from hero In the Scan
dinavian trade, Imports come chlcily from
Sweden and Norway. The value of the
goods purchased from these two countries
during 1900 slightly exceeded $4,000,000,
while the Importations from Denmark had
a valuo of only $920,000. In tho Imports
from Sweden and Norway, however, there
was comparatively little Increase during
tho last ten years, whereas, the record of
Importations from Denmark showed a dc
elded gain, tho value for 1900 being more
than doublo that reported for any pre
vious year of the decade.
Of tho merchandise Imported Into the
United States from Scandinavia during 1900
was 27 per cent consisting of agricultural
produce, where as products of the farm
comprised about 70 per cent of United
States exports.
Denmnrk the HcnvIrM Dner.
Denmark's purchases of American farm
produce amounted to about $lo,000,000,
while Sweden and Norway bought to the
extent of only $5,600,000. As compared
with the record tor 1S90, when this coun
try's agricultural oxports to Denmark were
valued at $4,300,000 and agricultural ex
ports to Sweden and Norway at $1,700,000,
tho figures quoted for 1900 disclose a re
markable Increase. Tho chief agricultural
articles Imported from Scandinavia In th
order of their lmportanco were hides and
skins, rennets, seeds, cheese and distilled
sDlrlts. Non-agrtcultural Imports were
valued In 1900 at $3,755,352, Iron and steel
in unmanufactured forms making up nearly
half of this amount. The principal other
articles were wood manufactures, fish,
manufactures of Iron and steel, whale and
ash oil and machines. Export trade to
Scandinavia consisted chiefly of bread
stuffs, which In 1900 amounted to $9,740,350,
or nearl half the total ot the agricultural
exports, and were mado up of com, wheat
flour, wheat, rye and oatmeal In the order
named. Othtr products aggregated $4,688,
650. Tho next most Important agricultural
exports were oil cake, cotton, vegetable
oils, molasses and syrup, tobacco, seeds
and fruits and nuts.
Of the non-agricultural commodttlea
shipped from the United States to Scan
dinavia dutlng 1900 mineral oils and manu
factures of Iron and steel comprised the
foremost Items. Measured In value these
two classes of merchandise constituted
more than half of the entire export trade
In non-agricultural products. Of mlntcral
oils over $3,000,000 worth was exported, and
of Iron and steel manufactures nearly
$2,000,000 worth.
Next to these two leading items the
most Important exports In the order of
their valuo were agricultural Implements,
leather, crude Iron and steol, wood In tta
unmanufactured forms and fertilizers.

Thero seems tn bo no good reason why
women should not become successful sollc
Itors of Insurance, but comparatively fow
have essayed that role. The pioneer of her
sex and probably the mont tucccsstul of
them in this lino Is Mrs. V. P. Peakes of
Boston.
Some years ago, owing to the death of her
husband, Mrs. Peakes was thrown upon her
own niources. After looking over the va
nous occupations open to women aa a
moans of livelihood sho decided to make an
effort as an Insurance solicitor
Tho years since have proved that, she
chose well. Mrs. Peakes tpcaks from ex
perience when she says: "A woman who
does anything In Insurance, ought to make
from $1,200 to $1,600 a year, and from thnt
up to $7,000 or $10,000. There is absolutely
no limit for the woman who Is suited to
the work and who gives her time to It.
When asked what are the qualifications
necessary for uccess she replied: "There
are threo things determination, tact and
brains.
While nearly all women Insurance Hgcnts
confine themselves to soliciting Insuranco
among women. Mrs. Peakes docs all her In
surlng, or practically all, among men. "I
can lnsuro three men," sho declares, "whllo

Mrs. Peakes hns very charming manners
tho manners of nn educated and refined
