WILL NEED AMERICAN CORN,
Mexico May be Compelled to Suspend
Import Duties.


CRY OF MEXICO, Mex Aug. 22.-In or
der to learn the conditions of crops of
this country the government recently d.
rected inquiries to the different state Off.
Gals and has already received many re.
plies. The Information contained in these
replies is of interest and important to the
American commission merchants and
corn producers who hope to supply this
country with large amount of corn this
year as was done by them two years ago
when there was general failure of crops
throughout the producing states of
Mexico. According to the official reports
so far received there is shortage OF the
corn and bean crop in several OF the
principal agricultural states which can
not be filled by other more favored sec.
lions OF Mexico. This being the case It
is very probable that President Diaz will
Issue decree IN few weeks suspendipy
temporarily the import duties on corn in
order that the United States can be given
an opportunity to supply the demand in
this country.
During ths few months that ths duties
were suspended two years ago several
millions OF bushels OF corn from the Uni
ted States were shipped to this country
and sold for high prices, some car lots
bnnging as high as So per bushel. The

ADVANCING PRICE OF SILVER.



tors, Not by the Chinese Loan.
New YoKK, Aug. 22--The drift of
opinion on Wall street'is that up to the
present time the demand for silver has
come from spectators. They profess to
know that there has been no direct buy
ing Tor China and say that in making
prices, they entirely follow the London
market. One prominent bullion broker
said the rise was probably assisted by
the introduction in the house Yesterday
by johnson OF North Dakota of bill tor
the unlimited coinage of silver. At the
New York agency for the Hong Kong
and Shanghai banking corporation it was
said that the recenI Chinese loan of TO-
000,0o0 taels, equal to $4,000 of our
money, was a silver loan, but if large
war loan is issued it will likely be in
gold, and therefore Chinese loans should
not necessarily regulate the advancing
price OF silver.
