138 specially appertaining to this present matter of Geographical Distribution of Capital. So far as I know, no examination of world-trade fluctuations has hitherto been made. Now as to the data to be examined. The world’s trade consists of the home or internal trade of each country and of the foreign commerce of each country. Records of the home trade of the countries of the world do not exist to an extent sufficient for a broadly based inquiry of this sort. Thus we have to turn to the records of the foreign commerce of each country, and perhaps the best available test is to examine the exports of each country. Let it be clearly understood that while export trade is one important part of a nation’s trade, it is by no means an exclusive or an exhaustive test of a country’s progress or regress in trade generally. I will use this part of trade because it seems to me to supply the best data that are available for my present purpose. The countries whose export trade has been examined during each year 1890-1904 are as follows :— Europe.—United Kingdom, Germany, France, Holland, Russia, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Roumania, Norway, Finland, Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, Eighteen countries, stated in the order of their importance. America.—United States, Canada, Argentine Republic, Chile, Mexico, Uruguay, British West
