PETITION OF THE MERCB ANTS or VERA CRUZ TO PRE-
SIDENT JUAREZ
The undersigned merchants Of the city Of Vera Cruz
with due respect bring to your excelencys notice. that
they have seen with regret in the amendment M Of the
January and 18th of March, 1857 such great injuries to
their interests, that they do not consider II in harmony
with the protection which commerce ever has received
from your well known benevoence.
When the State Legislature Issued the above mentioned
DEGREES conceding q reduction the OF the tariff
it was with the idea 70 assist commerce and
some measure for the heavy losses sustained in con-
sequence Of the interruption Of all communications with
the interior, enormous rates of exchange, and the d
| culties generally in carrying on trade.
Merchants concluded that while this state Of affairs
lasted these concessions would continue the
terms, and they well their correspondents in the
interior and Europe did not suspend their orders and
mapces; and even If counter orders were given now
such would reach in time TO avoid the shipment Of
the goods ordered and on reaching here will fall under
| the high duties
Permit u.s. Mr. President to say that no change for the
better has taken place; the contrary has grown
woree and worse.
Exchange on Mexico in the absence Of specie conveys
from the interior, has risen to fifteen per cent; the
rates Of freghs enormously high the risk of transit
greater than and goods from place occupied by the
constitutional forces taxed reaching their desna
tion with thirty per cent
For these reasons and others which your Exceency
w sas Pc sss trust b @ 5 y0S % w Tine
by this new proof Of the interest You take in everything
concerning commerce.
