OUR TRADE WITH MEXICO.
British Houses Have Steadily and
Rapidly Lost Ground.
The Republic Bureau.
18th St. and Pennsylvania Ave.

Washington, Nov. f7.-The renewed atten-
ton to trade conditions between the tpited
States and American countries lying south
of her borders. due In part to the meeting OF
the Parliamentary congress at the city OF
Mexico, lends special interest to a statement
by a British of1cial In Mexico. Consul
Biroklund. which has just been received by
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics.
That officer calls attention sharply to the
fact tina in Mexico-the one American coun-
try at the south with which tho United
States have satisfactory transportation Ia
ciIities-the trade of the United States has
vastly outgrown that OF other nations. FIFTY
years ago the trade OF Mexico was carried
on by British houses. and. as late as lstZ-ts.
was In a fairly fiourishing condition. but
since the opening of the Mexican Central
and Mexican National railways. American
manufacturers have yearly increased their
trade with the Republic.
To-day the British trade is confined to q
few agencies there being no important COM
merciaI establishments. who by means OF
samples and catalogues undertake the exc
cution OF orders. Some of the large British
houses employ travellers. who can always
count on their usual customers for orders;
hut other houses frequently send out such
unsuitable men. often foreigners. that they
are unable TO get a single ORDER.

New York. Nov. 1s.-The cotton market opened

mana for smaller shorts and moderate buying on

chief buyer from the outside. though Europe and
the south at times picked up scattering amounts
Of The late months. Trading was fairly active
for saturday. and beneath the surface the larger
bears seemed to he very uneasy and d,strustful.
Soon after the call the market settled q few
points under profit taking by yesterdays pit
~scalpers. Later prices improved slowly on outside
buying and covering by prominent bear interests.
Receipts at the ports were no larger than expect

BANK ROBBERS DISAPPOINTED.
Driven Away by Posse Before Com
pletiOn of job.

Wellington, Kss.. Nov. f.-Safe blowers
raided Milan, a small town. sixteen miles
west of here. at an early hour this morn
ing. and after entering every prominent
store, among them the one in which the
post Office IL located. wrecked the safe and
fixtures Of the Milan State Bank with dyna-
mite.
Two doors were blown OF the safe. but
a third, on which was a time lock. resisted
the force Of the explosives and the citizens,
who had been aroused by the noise. rushed
into the streets with shotguns and drove
the robbers away before they had secured
any plumber. Believing the robbers were
concealed In the bank. a posse kept watch
until daylight, when II was discovered that
they had escaped. In a vault In the bank
was $1,000. As a result of the raid the rob-
beers secured but a few dollars.
Bioodhounds from Wichita were taken TO
Milan. but they refused to take the scent
and the pursuit Of the mel was abandoned.
