DIR. s. L. Trowbridge, our consul at Vera
Cruz for the last twelve years, IS probably
the best informed American regarding the
commerce of Mexico. He says that the in
dustrial army of nearly 100000 men now
employed in building railways in Mexico,
comprises the element which, in state of
dleness, were always ready for revolution
and turmoil; but now the country is en-
joying genuine peace, and the prospect is
that, on the completion of the roads, all
ideas of annexation and iilibustering expe-
ditions will forever have vanished DIR.
Trowbridge believes that there exists the
best possible basis for trade relations,
in that Mexico needs our wares, and we
can make use of her tropical and semi-trop-
ical products.
Superintendent of the Mails McGrath has
prepared Il report which, among host of
other interesting points relative to the
growth of business gives the following ::
During 1870 the Office handled 453, 3G4
pounds of letters; in 1850 the amount had
increased to 527 .9lG, and in 1881 TO $50 1923.
The number of postal cards doubled in
three years, the number being 1876 800 in
1879, and 14,5M,6G in 1881. A good cri-
terion to the business fluctuations of the
city is shown in the number of circulars
handled. OF these there were II 900 900 in
1870, 100000 in 1880, and nearly "a 1000
in 1881. Second.class matter (newspapers)
show almost a proportionate increase, the
pieces handled in 1870 being, u 100000, and
over 35,OOOO0 in 1881 The aggregates are
startling, the total number of pieces of all
kinds handled being nearly 81 600 900 i'm
1879, 105,000,0D in 1880, and 10000, OO9 or
over 100000 pounds, in 1851.
The New Orleans Democrat, of the 9Th.
says that there is considerable short in
terest in most of the active stocks. Foreign
demand for stocks continues fair. First
class bonds are wanted here and abroad.
II is thought that the next call for bonds
will be for iivcs as well as skies. OF the last
call for $20,000,000, about nine and n
half millions remain outstanding.
An important traffic agreement
has been. concluded between Huntington
and Gould by which largo amount of bu-
siness coming over the Southern Pacific
will become tributary to the Texas Pacific,
Missouri Pacific and Wabash lines. The
alliance will have an important bearing
upon the securities of the Chesapeake &
Ohio, Wabash, Missouri Pacific Texas Pa
citic and Southern Pacific roads. 1t is un.
derstood that move for change in the
management of Erie had its origin abroad.
An impression prevails that the Gould and
Vanderbilt interests will appear in the
board at the approaching election. Jewett
is soliciting proxies. An Erie director said
yesterday that an important move was
pending. Northwestern preferred con-
tinues a favoritc MS an investment stock.
