Imports on Mexican Goods.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman
EAGLE PASS, Tex Aug. 20.-A re-
liable telegram from the City of Mex
leo today contains information which
will be startling to many merchants
on both sides of the river, that the
new Mexican tariff law, which goes
into effect on the 1st of November,
will increase the introduction duty
on goods imported into the iona Libre
from to 10 per cent. This large in
crease, coupled with the heavy mu-
nicipal and state taxes imposed in
Piedras Negras largely nullifies the
advantages Of the Free IONA, and one
shrewd merchant expresses the opin-
ion that by thus increasing the IONA
duties by installments the free IONA
itself will be gradually abolished
within the next two years. 1t is also
pretty certain that under the new law
the present heavy duties on wagons
and buggies imported into Mexico
will be largely reduced.
