There are no immigration records for him under his name spelled Louis Ferretti. According to his naturalization record, he arrived in New York on 14 May 1896, but there are no matches. Below are the possible record matches with names that are spelled differently.

Possible Immigration Record #1 ^[7]

Arrival Place: New York, New York

Primary Immigrant: Frati, Louis

Source Publication Code: 692

Louis Frati

It's also possible that he lived first in Argentina before moving to the United States. There is a Luis Ferretti, same birth year, born in Italy who is listed in an Argentinian census for 1895. His naturalization record shows that he didn't arrive in the United States until 1896, so this is a possibility that works according to the dates.
