NUMBER AZ.
Decrease In immigration.
(New York Journal of Commcrce.)

(New York Journal of Commerce)
One of the most striking evidences
of industrial depression in this coun-
try is the falling off in immigration
since last November, when the effect
was first noticeable. For the entire
year 1907 the number of immigrants
arriving in this country was unpre-
cedented, reaching a total of 1884,
166. There was gain in nearly eve
ry month until December over the
previous year, when the total was
1,2T5, ,349, which exceeded all previ-
Gus records. Even in October and
November the number was consider
ably in excess of the same months Of
1906. The monthly average for the
year was over Ill 900, butt it Decem-
Der the number fell to 66,574, COM
pared with 85, ,466 in 1906.
immigration in the first half of the
year has uniformly exceed to a con-
siderable extent that in the last half.
Last year the arrivals in the first six
months numbered 1882, or a
monthly average of 123, 1892. In 1906
the total for the first half year was
673, ,943, or a monthly average of
1922 In January, this year, there
was a drop to 1920, compared
with 81, AT last year, or almost ex-
actly one-half. In February the
number fell to 23,3S1, against 55,5 ,54l
last year, a reduction of nearly two
thirds. These two months are usual
ly the lightest of the year and last
year the number rose in March to
139, ,11S and reached still higher in
each of the next three months, the
maximum being 184, 1856 in May.
This year the increase was only to
80, SIT in March, or less than one
fourth the number arriving in the
same month last year, while in May
the total was only 36,317, or less than
one-ffth of last years record. The
total for six months was 1872, ,656,
against 1852 last year, 673,943 in
1876 and 620,f76 III 1915.
But the effect appears not alone in
this great diminution in the number
of immigrants. Though we have no
exact statistics of the departures of
aliens from the country during the
same period we know from the re-
ports Of the steamship companies
that they have greatly exceeded the
arrivals. There has been an actual
decrease of the foselgn population,
made up mostly of laborers. This
unusual movement has served to nit
igate one of the serious effects of in
dustrial depression. 1t has greatly
diminished the number that would
have been otherwise unemployed and
lessened the consequent privation
and suffering and the strain on many
communities of affording charitable
relief. Labor has become an export
as well as an import and passes with
comparative ease between this coun-
try and Europe according to the con-
dition of the market for it.
