London. Yesterday. Sir Christopher Furness, the head of the well-known shipbuilding firm, speaking at West Hartlepool, denied that the shipping trade was decaying. The Tyne, Hartlepool and Tees districts last year launched more tonnage than the whole German Empire. Sir John Jenkins at Swansea declared that the export of galvanised sheets and tin plates had greatly increased.
A correspondent of the Times quotes official statistics showing that the German emigration in 1881, the year after the protective tariff was adopted, was 4-86 per cent of the population. it fell rapidly till 1901, when it was 0-39 per cent. He adds that England's emigrants in 22 years aggregated 2,863,286, and Germany's 2,011,436.
