A. E. G. is interested in the following factories:
'Accumulatoren Fabrik A.-G. in Hagen and Berlin, which is an absolute

Foreign markets.—The A. E. G. has an agreement with the General
 Electric Co., of America, by which certain districts of the world

Products—The products made by both A. E. G. and Siemens cover

not exactly connected with electricity, such as aeroplanes and automobiles,
 and the Siemens-Schuckert have built dirigibles.
Extent of monopoly of home market.—The Siemens-Schuckert
concern controls 35 per cent and the A. E. G. 45 per cent of the
entire electrical industry of the home market.
In certain lines there are occasionally absolute monopolies. For

cartel is composed of Bergmann, Siemens-Schuckert, Felten &amp; Guilleaume,
 A. E. G. and Siiddeutsche Kabelwerke, and is an absolute
monopoly. Also Akkumulatorenfabrik Berlin u. Hagen is a monopoly
 of the storage- battery manufactories. Siemens, Halske, and
A’ FE. G. have bought up about 30 different storage-battery manufac-
