MILLIONS ARE SENT HOME.
Immigrants from Austria-Hungary
Sent Over $4s, 100000 in
Ten Years.

The Immigrants to the United States
from Austria Hungary have sent back
to that country in the ten years between
1894 and 1903 more than $4s.000,000. Of
this vast sum the immigrants from
Hungary sent back $31. $4,000, while
those from Austria sent to their rela-
tives $16,9S2,9SO. In 1894 the amount
sent back by the immigrants of both
countries was $1,327,620. This had
grown in 1903 to $10556,0o0 in fact.
there has been q steady increase since
1894.
In addition to the sums sent into tho
country through what are known IN
Austria as ''home banks from Amer
lea each year, a large amount is remit
ted through American banks without
the Intervention of Austrian or Hun
garian institutions, or in cash or postal
money orders. The entire amount re-
ceived IN Austria Hungary in 1903 from
emigrants that had left that country
for other countries was $32.778.004.
It is estimated that the Italian immi.
grants in the United States send back
to their homes annually a sum equal To
about $30,0O0,O00. An indication Of the
Importance of remittances so made is
found in the business of Italian postal
savings banks with savings institutions
for Italians in foreign countries. But
the full amount sent into Italy cannot
be kept track of in this way. for It 10
we'll known that considerable amounts
are sent in paper money by registered
mail or are brought into the country by
returning immigrants. Fraudulent
banking concerns have caused great
losses to italian immigrants. both in
this and other countries in the past.
These were usually run by Italians.
To prevent all this an act was passed
in Italy in 1901 authorizing the Bank
Of Naples to take charge Of remittances
from emisrsnts, thus guaranteeing
them safety and regularity in the trans
mission of their money. This bank has
since established correspondence Offices
for the management of emigrant bust
ness, there being SO of these oficee at
the close of 1903. A recent bill in tho
Italian parliament. providing for the
appointment Of resident agents in for
eign countries to manage the remit
tances of Italians failed to pass.
