This is treated by the department as deposit capital," and the surplus stated in the next column is surplus beyond deposit capital" and other liabilities.

The reported occupations of immigrants arriving during the fiscal year 1906 were as follows: Laborers, 226,345; servants, 115,984; farm laborers, 239, 125; tailors, 26,982; merchants and dealers, 17,054; carpenters, 18, 185; shoemakers, 12,622; clerks. 11,345; mariners, 8,737; miners, 8,717. The number of professional immigrants (including 1,117 actors, 2,324 engineers, 1,511 musicians, and 2,071 teachers) was 13,76; of skilled laborers, 177, 122; miscellaneous (including unskilled), 621,387; no occupation (including children under fourteen years of age), 285, 460. The total number of alien immigrants refused admission to the United States in the fiscal year ending 1905 was 12,432, of which 7,069 were paupers or persons likely to become public charges, 2.273 persons with loathsome or contagious diseases, 2,314 contract laborers, 139 insane, 92 idiots, 205 convicts, 30 prostitutes, 2 persons who attempted to bring in prostitutes, 61 returned in one year after landing, 615 returned within three years because here in violation of law. IMMIGRATION BY COUNTRIES IN FISCAL YEARS 1905 AND 1906. Owing to the great difficulty in obtaining accurate statements of the immigrants from the contiguous countries of Canada and Mexico, no statistics of immigration into the United States of citizens of those countries are gathered by the Bureau of Immigration. The constant ebb and flow of persons entering and leaving the United States from and to Mexico and Canada, at the numerous points where such movements can be conveniently made, renders accurate statements on this subject extremely difficult, if not impossible, and the Bureau of Immigration in its annual report for 1902 states that "the immigrants do not include arrivals from the neighboring countries of Mexico and Canada except such as come from abroad through ports in these countries for the avowed purpose of entering the United States." The fact, however, that the Census of 1900 shows the presence of 1,183,225 persons in the United States born in Canada and 103, 445 persons born in Mexico proves that the number of arrivals from those countries, proper to be considered as immigrants, must be large.
