New York, March 6.-That New York
is destined to grow much more slowly
in the future than it has in the past
is the conclusion Of DR.. Walter Laid
law. who has devoted many years to
the study Of the factors that have con-
tributed heretofore to the rapid ex-
pansion of the metropolis. He pre-
diets that by 1910 the total population
of the city will be about 100000 in
stead of 10000. 600 that more optimis-
tic statisticians have been foretelling.
The reasons. that DR.. Laidlaw gives for
his opinion are several He points out
that among the chief causes contribut-
ing to the swift rise in population
down to the present year have been
the great volume of immigration en-
tering this port and the centering of
the country's export and import trade
here. The efforts which the federal
authorities and others are now MAX
ing to direct a large share of immi-
grafton to other ports he believes will
be successful and with fewer
Europeans arriving here naturally
fewer will become residents of New
York. The export trade too is being
DETECTED from this city and the COM
pletion of the Panama canal is likely
to bring about a shifting of trade to
gulf and Pacific ports that will cut
down the previously undisputed SUI
premacy Of New York. DR.. Laidlaw
believes that this will remain the larg-
est city in the country but that other
ports, particularly Chicago, New Or
| leans and San Francisco will rapidly
approach New York in trade and popu-
lation during the next twenty five
years.
