WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The United States

OF late years taken great pains to make American pro-
ducts known throughout Mexico. In many the
American article has driven its competitor out OF the
MARKET Other articles ot large consumption are i'm

turers OF the United states do not make similarly

method of introducing manufacture is by establishing
agencies IN the City OF Mexico and IN some port on the

American merchants will have to adopt perfect
