Statistics showing countries of origin of imports into this district 

 are not available, but the following percentages, taken from pub- 

 lished statistics for the island as a whole for 1919, may, with some 

 exceptions, be taken as applying to this district. Owing largely 

 to the direct steamship service between Halifax, Nova Scotia, and 

 this port, more than 95 per cent of the codfish imported here comes 

 from Canada.
