KANSAS CITY, No., Oct. 29.-There is
considerable excitement to-day among
Kansas City stockmen owing to the advices
received from Mexico to the effect that that
country has placed a duty of $500 per car on
American cattle. II the advices are true,
and they come from a reliable source, this

tween this country and Mexico. The act of
the Mexican government Is purely retalia-
tory and was precipitated by the fear tie
Mexicans have Of the Mckinley bill. Many
cars Of American cattle are now on the
Mexican borders. About 500 bushels Of
grain have to be sent with every train load
of live stock shipped from this city to
Mexico, and the government will not oven
permit this to go through unless a duty OF
80 cents per bushel is paid. 1t has been
rumored among the stockmen of this city
for the past three or four days that the
Mexican government was contemplating q
move CT this kind, but there was thought to
be nothing In it until dispatches were re-
ceived from agents there to-day apparently
confirming the reports

NEW ORLEANS, Oct ga special 10
the Pcaytne from San Antonio says ::
1.-THE retaliatory policy of the Mexican
government against the Mckinley bill has
begun, and its effects will be severely felt
all through the western states. Beginning
with yesterday, tax Of $500 on a carload
of horses and cattle stock, against United
States importations, will be enforced in all
Mexican ports Cattle and horses sent
across the Rio Graude yesterday and to-
day by unsophistoated owners, were sub
jected to these duties. The consequence is
that several loads have been seized.
A TAX ON HOGS.
"The Mexican congress. In addition, has
passed q retaliatory tax upon the importa-
tion OF hogs, which have been mostly ship
ped to Mexico from Kansas City. The i'm
portation tax on United States hogs has
been fixed at 50 80 heed As there are no
hogs Of any value raised in Mexico, the re-
suit will be that American consumers will
pay 1873 cents per pound for pork in place
of the present price, which is 8 cents. Ex-
portations to Mexico have for the present
entirely ceased. 1t is understood, however,
that they will shortly be resumed, as the
Mexican purchaser and not the American
exporter will pay the duty"
NOT BELIEVED AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Oct 29-The customs
division Of the treasury department has
received no adv1ces that Mexico has levied a
duty of $500 per car upon cattle from the

reported deal whereby the Brice-Thomas
syndicate secured control of the Baltimore
aad Ohio Southwestern system. Mr..
Thomas characterized the whole story as a
fake, saying that the first he had heard of
any such action was when he saw the report
in morning paper, then he had to look
on the railroad map TO find the line in
question. as he did not even know where it
was located.

LOUISVILLE. KY. Oct. Incorporation
papers for the tobacco company, which en-
braces nearly all the leading warehousemen
in this city and Cincinnati, and of which
much has already been published, were filed
to-day. Its business embraces storing and
selling leaf tobacco, and everything that
usually belongs to warehousing. The capi-
tai stock Is $4,000, 900, one-half preferred.
The preferred stock is to have divi-
dends of per cent. per annum
out of the earnings, but nothing more. The
corporation may issue $1,0O0,000 in bonds.
The principal places of business are Louis
vile and Cincinnati, and the directory,
which holds till January, includes the best
warehousemen in the two cities. 1t is
claimed by the incorporators that the
organization will be of great benefit to to-
bacco growers. There will be fewer agents,
and the pay of the agents, they assert,
comes finally from the growers. The organ
ization will control nine-tenths Of the leaf
tobacco trade in this region.
