ARE STAYING AT HOME

targe Decrease In English Emigration trf America. London Cable: The statistics ’submitted by the authorities in charge of British emigration show that since Jan. I emigration to America has decreased 8,000 below that for the corresponding period of 1889. This falling off, it is represented, is due to the fact that wages have increased at home until they are quite as high, and in some cstses higher, than the rates paid for similar employment in America, while the opportunities for obtaining work here are equally stood. These evidences of improvement are attested by tho fact that the number of Immigrants arriving in England from foreign countries has increased since Jan. 1 by more than eight thousand in comparison with the monthsof January, February and March. 1889.
