Newfoundland imports shift from Britain to Canada and U S

St John s N F June 16 The steady shifting of Newfoundland imports from Great Britain to Canada and the United States is shown by foreign trade figures. From 1909 to 1919 British imports declined from 2 493 070 to 2 393 962. Canadian imports rose from 3 937 009 to 12 777 684. U S imports climbed from 4 332 680 to 16 569 236. The climate requires most imports, including clothing and furniture, to come from abroad. Since WWI the shift away from Britain has increased as transport, war disruptions, and Canadian and American traders influence trade. Dealers in St John s are sending buyers to Britain to secure goods if delivery can be assured.
