New York. Dec. 27.-Approximately

securities. which were foreignowned

have been absorbed In the United
States during the past is months. H.
nancial experts estimated here today.
The Delaware and Hudson Company

Of the United States showed that S<so.-

Another important consideration was
the fact that during the last i've *
six months large quantities OF Ameri-
can securities Of all kinds have been
pouring back to this country. chiefly
from Great Britain and France. How
ever. nearly every foreign country has
appeared as a seller Of American stocks
and bonds. While there Is no posi-.
bility OF approximating the market
value OF the securities thus absorbed
In the last Is months. II was generally
believed that the market value Is con-
siderably less than the par value
While this absorption has sent a
large amount Of gold abroad. the out.
flow has been largely offset by eco
nomic developments The dividends
and interest on tue issues formerly
foreignowned will now remain In this
country. This phase of the matter vaI
considered highly important by ex
perts.
