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.
