Housekeeping in Mexico.

The bread consumed in the City of
Mexico is all bought at the public bake
shops, and made in the French way.
Each day opens new chapter in do
nestle affairs, only provisions enough
being bought to last through. so that at
night the larder is as bare as the cup
board of Mother Hubbard There is no
trust in Mexico, and the head of the
house who neglects TO leave pile OF
silver dollars with his wife produces a
famine in short order. The grocer,
meatman, charcoal vender, and fruit
dealer all do cash business, and no
money no food. A few rich men have a
practical monopoly of the meat business.
The beef of the city is brought from
Vera Cruz and Guanajuato, about 200
head a day being killed, cattle being
worth from S25 TO $40 head. Mutton
is in universal use, and is better than
beef. Some choice carloads of mutton
have lately been shipped through from
New Mexico at a good profit.
One rich man controls the pork mar
ket, and the extent of his monopoly is
shown by the fact that he hires seventy
five telephones, which place him in
communication with dealers who act as
his agents. This monopolist also makes
the tallow-dips that are in universal use
among the poorer people. The better
class of candles, by the way. are I'M
ported from France and Germany; and
the enterprising American who will
take bright Mexican partner and 60
into scientific candle-making, ought to
be in the way of making money There
are no good fish in the market, but the
game is excellent. The necessaries OF
life arc high, with good butter selling al
81 a pound, milk 20 cents quart, tea
$3.50 pound, chocolate 40 cents. lump
sugar III cents, potatoes 81 cents a
pound, and kerosene 81 cents a gallon.
An enterprising American widow and
her daughter, by the way, are making
good butter and selling it at handsome
profit. san Francisco bulletin.
