The WEsr CoAsT OF MExIco.-The
trade of the west coast of Mexico is and
has been for many years almost entirely I'M
der the control Of Germans and Spanards.
There are some few English and French,
but the Germans largely preponderate.
Business, as conducted by them, has requir-
ed the control of immense capital; and
though, measured by our commercial stand
ard, their method would be unequivocally
condemned, their system has resulted in the
monopoly which they have hitherto enjoyed,
and to which their enterprise and forecast
entitle them. They have almost entirely
adopted the old Spanish system of " expedi-
tions; each great house importing one or
two, or perhaps even three, cargoes year.
A month or two before these expeditions
are expected to arrive, the merchants, say
OF Mazatlan, open negotiations with the
Collector to ascertain the discount which
he will permit upon the regular tariff. As
the duties upon each cargo amount to from
Sl50.000 to 100000, the question becomes
of considerable importance to both parties.
If the Collector proves inconsiderate or OBJ
fuse, and the vessels approach before the
negotiations are concluded, instructions are
sent to the captains to cruise in the gulf !;
and in the meantime the Collector at Guay
mas, or Acapulco, or San Bias, is consulted,
and if he proves more reasonable, the car
goes are disembarked at one of those ports.
and afterward shipped on coasters to MAJ
allan. Twenty, thirty, or even forty per
cent, has not been considered an extraor
binary discount in times past.
With such profit to start upon-for the
goods are always entered and cost estimat-
ed upon full duty bass-and with Euro
pean capital at from five to six per cent. per
annum after expiration of the manufacturers
credits, it is not surprising that they, in
turn, sell on liberal time eight months, or
even year, being readily accorded TO relia-
BILE customers. Thus. many of these great
houses have from s5O0,OOO to ST. 200. 900
out in bills receivable-a capital in itself
upward of 81 100000 stock in store. and as
much more a1oat! or course, American
manufactures can not be introduced in the
face Of such competition; and, with this ex-
PLANTATION, twill readily be understood how
the ports have been practically sealed against
American commercial enterprise.-Ouer-
land Monthly for July.
