In 1911 production recovers temporarily, declines again, and then begins a steady recovery; immigration exhibits a clear depression, from which recovery begins in September; while emigration shows a distinct boom, with a decided decline in September.

In 1914 immigration is low and emigration high during the first seven months, after which, under war conditions, both decline. 108
