The report adds that the South African movement, by which New South Wales gained 3948 since 1896. was probably similar Ito that from New Zealand, and may be now practically completed, all the old residents of the State having returned. As far as assisted agriculturalists and domestics are concerned the Bureau's system is so complete that all present arrivals can be despatched to employment within 24 hours of arrival. Were depots established for unassisted immigrants the State could accept tens of thousands more yearly, without any fear of dislocating the labour market. The total gain by immigration last year assisted 4308 immigrants to N'.S. Wales, besides which 1231 other new arrival- were placed in positions. This is the largest immigration irain for three years. During the four years since the ml reduction of the present system 14.900 immigrants have been assisted.
