30. Statement by countries of the imports of dry-salted cod and similar fish during each 

 of the ten years ending June SO, 1S94 — Continiiod. 



Exports of cod by countries. — Exports of dried codfish are made princi- 

 pally to Haiti, Cuba, Colombia, Dutch Guiana, Santo Domingo, and other 

 South and Central American States and the West Indian Islands. Of 

 the 162,600,083 pounds exported during the last ten years, Haiti received 

 81,315,736 pounds, or 52 per cent. All the American States and colo- 

 nies combined received 153,981,722 pounds, or 95 per cent; Asia and 

 Oceanica received 5,999,037 pounds, or 3 per cent; Europe, 1,950,312 

 pounds, or 1 per cent; the remaining 596,012 pounds going to African 

 and other ports. The exports of cod to European countries appear 

 very small when compared with the large imports into those countries. 

 In 1893 France imported 91,218,948 pounds of codfish, worth $4,919,037. 

 During the same year Portugal imported 43,126,385 pounds, worth 

 $1,789,560, and Spain 97,811,488 pounds, worth $4,795,278. The imports 

 into other European countries doubtless equaled one-half those into 

 France, Portugal, and Spain, making an aggregate of 350,000,000 

 pounds, valued at $17,000,000, of which the United States furnished 

 only 48,350 pounds, or about - 7 X 5 - of 1 per cent. 



Table 31 shows the quantity and value of domestic dried or cured 

 codfish, etc., exported to each foreign country during each of the ten 

 years ending June 30, 1894:
