A despatch from Ottawa says: During the six months, April lst to October lst, of the current fiscal year 273,649 immigrants arrived in Canada. Of this number 183,990 arrived at oeean ports f and 89,659 from the United States. These figures show an increase of 13 per centas compared with the number of arrivals for the corresponding montlu, of last fiscal year, which were 158,614 at ocean ports and 83,- 317 from the United States, mak- ing a total for the six months, April I to Oct. 1, 1911, of 241,931 ersons. During the month of September this year there were 31,140 arr; 0,690 of them having been at in ports and 10,450 from the les, as against, 29,077 for Sep- .ber last year, 17,593 of whom were at ocean ports and 11,484from the States. The immigration to Canada for the last half-year is considerably greater than the entire population of Montenegro, the country which a few days ago declared war against Turkey. The electoral district of Carleton, Ontario, has, according to the cen- sus of 1921, a population of 28,406; it will be seen that the immigea- tion during the last six months is znore, than equivalent to the popu- lation of nine sech districts.
