The competition in eastward bound
passenger rates, which, it Is asserted, have
been secretly cut for three or four months
ast,have finally forced prices down to the low
est figure known for years. The Atlantic s.
Great Western announced New York and
Philadelphia tickets 81 each, PittsburR S2.75.
with fares to some common points in Ohio at
q nominal sum. The Pan Handle rates Of
New York and Philadelphia nave not yet been
reduced below IS, but this road will no doubt
follow its opponents with decreased charges.
Tickets sold ut these prices are rebate tickets,
and spectators have no opportunity to take
advantage OF the reduction. All agents re.
port good sales, and know nothing Of the re-
turn to former prices.

Hon. john G. Foster, United States
minister to Mexico, in response to reouess
from the Manufactures Association of til.
Northwest, has prepared and sent to the state
department elaborate papers to be transmit
ted to the above named association, giving
the results OF careful study concerning the
prospects and available means for the extern
sion Of our commerce with Mexico. Mr..
Foster states that the prohibitary tariff and
revolutionary condition Of Mexico form great
obstacles to any extended foreign trade, and
until they are removed our merchants will, as
general thing continue to find more inviting
markets elsewhere; but he asserts, neverthe-
less, that there is a limited field which may be
occupied by Americans, and regards it as en-
tirely feasible and safe for American manufac-
turers to continue their efforts in kindred
branches, and establish in the City of Mexico
warehouses for the exhibition and sale of
products of their factories. In this Way local
merchants and consumers will have practi.
cal display OF the superior merits of Ameri.
can goods and wares and their sale can be
gradually increased and a permanent market
created.

stage, Mrs. Give (who could as well have
taken up the monument cried out, s'Not

it, This threw an equal embarrassment

began to litter. At last Mrs. Pritchard,
with great presence Of mind, replied,
We'll, Nine. Pert, since you won't take
up the letter, must only get one that

that for which both were incapable
