MINERALS YEARBOOK, 1941

 Under normal conditions a large-part of Nova Scotia coal production reaches
its markets by steamers up the St. Lawrence River. The war necessitated requisitioning
these vessels for trans-Atlantic trade and thus increased the burden on the
Canadian National Railway.

WORLD PRODUCTION

* Statistics on world production of anthracite are incomplete because
of unsettled conditions in foreign countries. Available data for
