EMIGRATION FROM EUROPE

The remukablo. revival of trade m the Vat id States and Canada has, the (> Home News" says, led to a substantial Increase m the proportion of the emlgra* tion from Europe So prononooed s this that nearly all the Atlantic lines have iibuod orders to stop bookiDg for the present. The epcolal feature of the posltLn is that numbers of mechanics are going, eopecially bricklayers, plasterei s, and masons, from Scotland, Walfes, and the northern districts of England, m response to advicob from the other side that good openings are now presenting to Buoh craftsmen. The general prospects of the emigration trade are brisk, The Ger/naa lines are already understood to be fully booked, and a considerable accession to the number of Germans passing through Liverpool is to bo expected, Tbo Swedes and Norwegians are fully to the fore. The attractions of the Canadian tforth-weat, abd especially of the Canadian Paci6o slope, are dlstinotly m the aeoerfdant, more emigrants having been bojked for British Columbia during the past two months than m the precedirg year and indeed for a long time previous. Altogether the emigration trade of the current season is more brifk than at any time daring tho previous seven years, and the prospects point to a long period of ao'ivity.
