There is news at Ottawa that the COM
mercial envoy who was recently sent to Mexico
by the Canadian Government for the purpose OF
carrying on negotiations for the enlargement of
the trade between Canada and Mexico, has
met with some encouragement. There may be
a market in Mexico for some lines Of goods
manufactured in Canada and for some of Cana.
da's agricultural products, and also for Cana
dian lumber. We guess. however. that Ameri-
can manufacturers and merchants have no
reason to fear Canadian competition In Mexico.
The Canadian envoy, Mr.. EDMUND Z. SHEP.
PARp, has tried TO make the Mexicans believe
that tho new American tariff is hostile to their
interests; but he has failed to provo this.
So long as Mexico can procure better and
cheaper goods from this country than from any
other, and SO long as this country Is a prohta-
BILE market for Mexico's products. the trade
between the two countries will surely continue
to be as satisfactory as it has been in the past.
