MEXICAN CATTLE DUTY.
Blow to the Livestock Trade Between tn
United States aud Mexico

DlCW 70 the LiVe.otcck lrade between tne
United States aud Mexico
KANSAS CITY, Oct 29.-There was con-
siderable excitement to-day among Kansas
City stockmen relating to adyices received
from Mexico to the effect that that country
had placed duty of $500 per car on Ameri-
can cattle. If the advices are true this prac-
tically ruins the livestock trade between
this country and Mexico. The act of the
Mexican Government is regarded here as a
retalatory one, precipitated by the fear the
MeXicans have of the Mckinley bill. 1t
has been rumOred among stOckmen in this
CITY the past few days that the Mexican
Government was contemplating a move of
this kind, but there was thought to be moth
ing in it until dispatches were received from
agents to-day apparently confirming the re-
ports.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. GA Picayune San
Antonio dispatch also gives rumor that
the Mexican Government has placed tax of
$500 a car on horses and cattle from the
United States, and says in addition that
tax of 81 80 per head is placed on American
hogs. As there are not many hogs in Mexico
the result will probably be the price will be
greatly raised to consumers.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Spalding said tonight

congratulate the Congress and the coun-
try upon the passage at the first session of
the Fifty -frst Congress of unusal number
of laws of very high Importance. That the
result of this legislation will be the quicken
ing and enlargement of our manufacturing
industries larger ana better markets for our
breadstuffs and provisions, both at home and
abroad, more constant employment and bet
creased supply of a safe currency for the
transaction of business, do not doubt Some
of these measures were enacted at so late
period that the beneficial effects upon com
merce which were in the contemplation of
Congress have yet but partially manifest
ed themselves
The general trade and Industrial conditions
throughout the country during the year
have shown marked improvements. For
many years prior to 1888 the merchandise
balances of foreign trade had been largely in
our favor, but during the year and the year
following they turned against u.s. 1t is very
gratifying to know that the last fiscal
year again shows balance in our
favor of over Sos 100000. The bank
clearings, which furnish good test
of the volume of business transacted
for the first ten months Of the year 1890 show,
as compared with the same months OF 1888,
an increase for the whole country of about
S.4 per cent, while the increase outside of the
City of New York was over Is per cent Du-
ring the month of October the clearings of
the whole country showed an increase of 81
per cent over October, 1883, while outside OF
New York the increase was liz per cent.
The value OF our exports of domestic mer-
chandise during the last year was over $Il5,
10000 greater than the preceding year and
About 800, 10000 OF this excess was IN agri-
cultural products The production of pig
irOn-always a good gauge of general pros
perity-is shown by a recent census bulletin
in 1880 and the production Of steel 200 per
cent. greater.
