The Netherlands was Canada's tenth best cus- lom" in I939. according to a report written under date of April 1 and just received by the Department of Trade and Commerce from Mr. W. G. Stark, Assistant Canadian Commercial Attache at Rotterdam. During 1939 there vxas a considerable decline in Canadian trade with llolland, not only i11 direct shipments, pflflllilllfif- ly exports of cereals from Canada, b11t also, due to the war, in the former transit and tranship- ment traffic. Catiadian statistics reveal that the value of (fanadtfls exports to the Nclht-rlzmds decreased from $10,267,000 in 1938 to $7,357,. 000 in 1930. With imports from llolland valu- ed at $3,796,000, the total value of Netherlands- Canadian commerce exchanges during 1939 amounted to $11,153,oo<v. Despite the uninv- ourable trading conditions, said .\lr, Stark, Ilol- land was ah important outlet for (Ianadian mer- chandise. Cereals, especially wheat, took first place, followed by metals, minerals, rubber goods, forestry products and foodstuffs.
