New York;. T. Loree, President
of the Delaware & Hudson Company,
issued his second compilation OF
American railroad securities which are
held abroad. His investigation &C
counted for the SIX months between
January 81 and July 81, and shows
that railway securities with d par
value of $2,223,51O.229 and with a mar,
ket value of 1,437912 were held
in foreign countries on July 81.
According to the best available esti,

the industrials and other securities re
sold here in the five months, plus
sales of securities held in America for
foreign account, amounted to $4,000,
