all our ports numbered $1,000, a.
against 1900 for the corresponding
period OF 1902. The number of arriv-
ais this year between Oct. and Nov.
10 was about $4,000, SO that the re-

siderable offset

some are going back to live In their

are merely paying visits. and still 9TH
ers seeing no prospect of employment
here during the winter, wish to ben
eft by the cheap living in Europe un-
til next spring. When these aliens re-
tirn to this country they will be again
counted in our immigration figures.
and consequently in estimating out
net immigration the entire outward
movement should be deducted from
the official figures.
For the first four months of the
present fiscal year-July to October
the arrivals of immigrants numbered
293. .101. This was an increase of "a
per cent over the arrivals for the cor
responding months of 1902 This rate
of increase is even greater than that
OF the fiscal year 1908 over the fiscal
year 1902. which was 80 per cent Ii
is worth noting, however, that the in
crease for the month of October alone,
as compared with October, 1902, was
only 20 per cent. and that in the first
week of November there was actually
a material falling of as compared with
that week in 1902.
The immigration agents employed
by the great transportation companies
are busily engaged in stimulating the
movement to America. On the other
hand, unfavorable reports as to the
outlook for labor will have a dis
couraging effect. The immigration re
turns OF the rext few months will in
dicate which of these influences is the
stronger.
