158 Statement G is exceedingly interesting. It means that in the year 1890 the United Kingdom supplied 18 0 per cent, of the world’s exports, and that the United States supplied 12 per cent, of the world’s exports. In 1904 the United Kingdom’s share had fallen to 13 9 per cent., and the United States’ share had risen to 13*8 per cent. The change of position of the two countries, as world-traders, is most marked, and we could scarcely have a clearer illustration of this principle of compensating trade movement which is so closely connected with the validity of the Geographical Distribution of Capital. Our loss of position as a seller to the world has been closely accompanied by the United States’ gain of position as a seller to the world. The neck-and-neck race in the latter years of Statement G is a striking feature of this most interesting comparison. The United Kingdom’s share in State ment G is slightly exaggerated in the years 1899-1904, because in those years our exports include ships which were not included in the years 1890-1898. My investigation contains many more results in addition to the leading features
