was loaned to repay loans previously
made by bankers in this country so
that the net value of new capital sent
abroad was 1929, 65S,OOO. The total
included 16 issues of S10,000,000 or
more, the five largest loans being $4O,-
100000 to Canada, $3S,00O,000 to Bra
Ill, $37,000,000 to the Duke-Price
Power Co. of Canada, $4,000, 900 to
the United Steel Works of Germany,
and $27,5OO,O0O to Uruguay.
In the first months Of 1925 more
than 37qo of the new capital furnished
foreign countries by Americans went
into Germany. And nearly 500 went
into Europe. Compared with Ger

OF American capital, received only
S114,970,000.
Germany's lead as field for Ameri-

noteworthy in the realm of corporate
finance. American capitalists pro-
vided German industry with S107,420,-
500 in the months. This is over 469o
of all the new capital which Ameri-
cans provided for foreign corporations
in the period. Europe as whole got
nearly 500 OF Americas investment
in foreign corporations.
Since Jan. 1924 S242,090,OOO new
capital from this country has been
furnished German corporations. Ger
man governmental, provincial and mu-

this country to the extent Of $780,
