MEXICO ENGAGES IN
 RAILROAD BUSINESS
There Is One Line Which Will Not
 Join Pool.

Washington. October 29.-The Mexf- can government according to a report to the state department of J. Gonzales Pages, United States vice consul at Vera Cruz, has purchased the major part of the recent issue of the Inter Oceanic railroad company's bonds, thus obtaining Q controlling interest in the road.
 The Mexican officials in effecting the purchase were actuated not so much by desire to seek a profitable invest ment of government funds as by a de- termination to prevent, if possible, the formation of pools" and trusts" and with a view of controlling the import and export traffic of the republic. With the control of an important railroad like the Inter-Oceanic, the Mexican government will be able, the report says, to prevent freight discriminations to the injury of native manufacturing and commercial interests.

in North America there is little proba- other foodstuffs. The consumers Of Europe are complaining of the increas- ed prices resulting from these altered conditions. Nearly all classes of cer- calls and of meat and other provisions. which used to be received in increasing quantities from the United States, have been raised in value, and consumers are beginning to ask whether the Brit ish colonies and South American coun- tries cannot come to their assistance. There is every encouragement. there fore, for the cattle and wheat grow CTS of Australia, Canada, and of tha River Platte to extend their produc- tio1 and to obtain a share of the high prices now prevailing in the markets Of Europe. Europe under present circum- stances is able to take all that those countries can send. whether in the shape of live cattle or frozen meat. az well as in cereals and cotton. The last named commodity is the source of much anxiety to the Lancashire cot ton manufacturer, who finds that he is almost entirely dependent upon the United States for this indispensable commodity. He is, therefore, anxious to buy from other countries and to en- courage the growth and development of the cotton trade in South America. This is a condition of things which has; not existed for more than a generation. and it opens up a vista of prosperity for our colonies and for South Ameri- can countries, which until now was supposed to belong to the North Amer jean republic"

Washington, October 29.-The pros . perity of the United States is counted as q reason for the prosperity of Great Britain and her colonies by the Brit ish Trade Journal. a copy of which has just reached the treasury bureau of statistics. "So great has been the pros perity of the United States" it says, during the past two years that the de- mand among the people of the republic for many classes of agricultural pro- duce and of cattle has exceeded the supply. Hence there has been a fall ing off in the exports of these commod- ities to Europe, and the result is wit . messed in the higher prices now pre- vailing there. Yet another reason for the rise in prices was a shortage of the corn crop of 1901
 At present." the article adds. "there is no sign of any falling off in the United States Chome) market. Indus trial activity continues at a high pres sure. and even the enormous produc- tion of pig iron (amounting now to about 1S,0C0 GOO tons per annum) of the United States is inadequate to meet the requirements of it's general build ing, shipbuilding, hardware, and other trades in which iron or steel is employ ed, and the consequence has been that during the last few weeks large ship ments of pig iron and steel have been made to the North American republic from Great Britain and Germany"
 Commenting upon the effect of the extreme prosperity of the United States upon conditions in Europe ard in British colonies, the article adds: 50 long as this business activity lasts

That was in Tucson in 1S46, by the Mormon Battalio of which he was a member and which crowded out the Spanish troops. He spoke in a fatheriy way which was very impress i've. He indorsed the principles of the republican party and especially indors- ed the utterances of MT. Morrison The meeting taken altogether was one of the most successful the candidate has had on his tour of the territory.
