MExlco's HIGH CREDIT.

The Mexican papers are jubilanl
over the success of the loan which
their country has just floated in the
United States. II is a $400O0,0O0 fifty
....xaar.- Der cent gold loan, and It wai
pean syndicates, headed by banks in
Paris and Berlin, and bankers in the
United States. The later were sue
cessful. The activity of the bidding
shows that the credit of Gen. Diaz s
government ranks high throughout
the world.
This loan will furnish new tie be
tween the United tSates and her sis,
ter republic on the other side of the
Rio Grande. Heretofore most of Mex
fco's government loans have been
made in Europe. although three-four-
this Of the money invested in private
enterprises in that country has been
furnished by Americans Most OF Mex
ico's merchandise imports are from
the United States. The greater part
of her exports of merchandise are to
this country The United States has
an immeasurably greater stake than
any other nation in the prosperity of
the Mexican government and people

Gen. Diaz is to start out on his
new term in the presidency on De-

butte to the stability and the general
sanity which he has impaired to Mex

the loan was so eagerly sought by
bankers Is that Mexico is likely to go

two, President Diaz favors the adop.

Finance Minister Limantour. Both
those officials. IL is understood. have

sis. There is a strong prejudice In
Mexico in favor of the retention of
the silver standard, The dollar of the

outspoken champions in the United
States as the corresponding coin has
in Mexico. Silver in Mexico has to go
however. as the coin of final redemp-
