The Hoffs flaxes are reckoned in a similar way. Here H is for Hoffs, D for Drieband, P for picked, F for fine, S for superior, and R for Risten. In addition to these marks, an X may appear before, after or in both places. With £20 as base mark we have:—
| HD | £20 | per | ton. |

Of the lower qualities of Riga flax the following may be named;
| W, | Wrack flax. | PW, | Picked wrack flax. |
| WPW, | White picked wrack. | GPW, | Grey picked wrack flax. |
| D, | Dreiband (Threeband). | PD, | Picked Dreiband flax. |
| LD, | Livonian Dreiband. | PLD, | Picked Livonian Dreiband. |
| SD, | Slanitz Dreiband. | PSD, | Picked Slanitz Dreiband. |
The last-named (SD and PSD) are dew-retted qualities shipped from Riga either as Lithuanian Slanitz, Wellish Slanitz or Wiasma Slanitz, showing from what district they come, as there are differences in the quality of the produce of each district. The lowest quality of Riga flax is marked DW, meaning Dreiband Wrack.
Another Russian port from which a large quantity of flax is imported is Pernau, where the marks in use are comparatively few. The leading marks are:—
| LOD, | indicating | Low Ordinary Dreiband (Threeband). |
| OD, | ” | Ordinary Dreiband. |
| D, | ” | Dreiband. |
| HD, | ” | Light Dreiband. |
| R, | ” | Risten. |
| G, | ” | Cut. |
| M, | ” | Marienburg. |
Pernau flax is shipped as Livonian and Fellin sorts, the latter being the best.
Both dew-retted and water-retted flax are exported from St Petersburg, the dew-retted or Slanitz flax being marked 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Crown, also Zebrack No. 1 and Zebrack No. 2, while all the Archangel flax is dew-retted.
