In it I not only repeat the figures for those items which appear in the preceding tables, but add further figures for the same items. These additional figures have been given at one time or another in somewhat fragmentary fashion, without any attempt to incorporate them in systematized balance sheets. They serve in some sort as checks or corroborations of the more systematic statements.} WALTERS- WELLS HAUSEN PASH KENT 1869 1894 1901 1909 1912 Credit Items: Fresh Loans to United States 200 Debit Items: Securities Sold in United States 60 Interest and Dividends 80 95 114 250 200 Freight Payments 24 23 53 25 50 Tourist Expenses 25 47 84 170 250 Immigrants’ Remittances 40 150 250 @ 300 { The figures in the second column (1894) have been furnished by my colleague, Professor J. H. Williams, who discovered them in the New York Journal of Com- merce, July 8, 1895, and the Commercial Chronicle, Vol. 60, p. 2, p. 632. Those in the third column (1901) are from S. Vv. Waltershausen’s paper on Die Han- delsbilanz der Vereinigten Staaten (1901). In view of the scattered sources from which the figures are derived, it is sur- prising that they agree so well as regards the trend of the several items. The only striking case of irregularity is Paish’s estimate for freight charges in 1909, which is andoubtedly too low.
