lers are located in the Port Antonio con-
sular district. Virtually all of this
trade is centered in Kingston. Occasion

American vehicles are more popular
than any other in Jamaica. During the
three years l9l4-1916. inclusive, the i'm
ports of carriages, carts, and wagons
from the United States constituted, re-
spectively, ninety-two per cent. eighty
two per cent and eighty-four per cent of
the total imports. The remainder came
from the United Kingdom and small
norton from Canada. During the years
mentioned the total imports amounted to
s32,34S in 1914. $4,000 in 1915, and
s41,21l in 1915.
The types of vehicles generally used
in Jamaica are the American type of
open surrey and the buggy. In some
country districts the traffic regulations
prescribe that the two-seated surrey
shall be drawn by two horses. In
Kingston. however, the hackney car
riages are drawn by single horse
The ordinary hackney carriage is sim

front seat Is divided. and three persons
may thus be carried In addition to the
driver. Usually these carriages are
not equipped with brakes.-Commerce
