cut of from Lucy territory. An am

cover this new ground, but tho survey
was never recorded and consequently
the Lucy people for years have been

To NEW F0UNDLAND
Much Trade Has Been Taken
Away From Great Britain
During the War.

St Johns. N. F., June 19-The
steady shifting of Newfoundland imports
from Great Britain to Canada and the
United States is shown in foreign trade
figures just made public here. Imports
from Great Britain in 1909 were yauled
In the same period imports from Canada
increased from $3,937 900 to 12.777 ,6S4
and from the United States from $4,-
332, $50 to $16, ,569, ,236.
Imports Are Heavy.
The climate of Newfoundland is so
severe that all of its food supplies.
except fish, few farm products and
small quantity of meat, have to be i'm
ported. Practically all clothing, furniture
and household goods also come from
abroad. Until about 20 years ago these
imports were divided almost equally be-
tween Great Britain, Canada and, the
United States. but since then the ten
dency each year has been to buy less
from the mother country and moro from
the nearer neighbors
As the value of articles imported has
doubled since the beginning of the war,
the falling off in bulk Of imports from
Great Britain is much greater than in
dicated in the figures of values. Although
the difficulties of transport across the
Atlantic. especially during the war, have

American and Canadian commercial trav-

British After Trade.
Business interests here have been in
formed that British traders are trying
to set up machinery to re-establish
trade with various portions of the en-
pire which was disrupted by the war
and are expected to give first attention
to Newfoundland. Dealers in this city are
sending buyers to the British Isles this
summer and say that they are prepared
to fill their requirements there to the
great extent possible, If they can be
