NEW YORK, Sept. 81 G.N.S0.
Although much has been said of
the heavy foreign selling of
American securities during the

ness of the 1talo-Ethiopian Situa-

smaller proportions than gen

Figures by DR.. Max Winkler,
authority on foreign investments,
today show that the total short
term funds currently aggregate
slightly more than $500.000, 900 in
Guiding deposits and other invest
ments. This is comparatively lit
tie when compared to the peak
figure of over $3,000,000,000 in
1929.
Long-term capital invested in
the United States, which includes
mortgages. securities, etc., is esti.
