this year to extent of ST. 600, 600, 600, it
is estimated by the treasury officials.
For seven years the sale of American
securities by European Hners have be- n
the subject of ceaseleSS discussion in
this country. Within a short time a
vast mum Der of the shares of Amer lea n
railroads owne d abroad have been re-
turned to this country. In tie current

still larger qualities.
1t is estimated by government eX-
perts that the total foreign hold ngs of
American securities of all kinds have
ranged from one b lion dollars to two
billion dollars and the yearly interest
charge has been $50, 900, 600 to $780,

were all known it would be found that

disc and treasury gold and silver, as
compared with Imports of merchandise

about dozen of the best known
teachers in our schools who, bo-
cause of their long service in the
