NOTES on TRADE AND INDUSTRY.

EXPORTS FOR JANUARY.-The total value was
only S73 089, ,972 against Ts0,3SO, 2o3 In the same
month of 1888 The three months, November
January give an aggregate OF &229, OO,OOOagalnst
1854. 600 900 for the same months of loo2-o3. AT
the same time there is large excess OF exports
over imports in value, assuming that the IMPORTS
are correctly valued in official returns. In January
this excess was $l 677 4S7, in December @2l ,003
1t2. and in November $23.3O3,3O9. The small de-
crease each month is not impOrtant the grave
ousst,on il whether such returns can be considered
accurate in view of the recent course OF exchange
and exports Of gold That undervaluation of im-
ports has been vastly increasing, particularly since
foreign manufacturers began to market goods here
bv copsiguments and through agontsrather than by
sales has often been asserted, and there Is even
strono testimony To sustain the assertion that the
ppderyaluntlon has come TO be a large per centage
of tbe value of imports Now, the reported value
of ,uports for the three months ending January was
about LSl6i, 100000. supposed increase OF
one-ffth or 30 per cent, would cover
a large part of the difference Some balance has to
be paid every month for interest on money due
abroad for freghts and insurance, but this cannot
be as much as $64. 100000 in three months. On
the theory that the full value of imports is not
ascertaned, however tho movement of gold would
be more easily explained.
DUTIES IN FEBRUARY.-The duties paid at New
York last month amounted to $l2,4l0.04l aud
were only 500, ,770 less than for the corresponding
month last year. This is not because the rate oil
duty on the same products and classes OF goods has
not been reduced but because the character oi IN
portatons has largely changed since the ne" '.'li
went into effect. In the large item OF sugar Vo'

To MEXICO BY RAIL-Within thirty days, it is
announced, there will be through rail connection
between New-York and Mexico. OF late it has
been the fashion to make light of the commercial
advantages which rail connection with Mexico
will give this country. But it clear, at all events
that the traffic hitherto has been lim-
tied by the defective means of COM
municaton, and that the entrance Of American
enterprise and capital will soon create vast traffic.
1t appears that about 1000 miles of railroad have
already been built In Mexico with American capi.
tai, and that means large and constant demand
upon American mines, mills and shops for materials
and stock with which to keep these roads in repair.
Then, as often as new road is pushed into
wholly uninhabited region at the worst, it is cer-
tain that active men will quickly begin to create
new towns and new business there. The same
thing will happen in Mexico, and the traffic due to
new settlement and new industry and trade will
not be incOnsderable.

holding their conventions to elect delegates to Chi

somewhat informal conferences, owing to the dls-

their points don't like it, but thisis country where
