THE FRONTIER BROKER.
HAS a Difficulty Before Hin Not Known
TO the Dealers in The Interior.

One of the big drawbacks Il
large commission houses along the
Mexican frontier, according to Z
prominent member of that fra
ternity in this city, is the wide
difference of business ideas and
methods among the people of the
two countries. As an example, the
case is sighted. say, of represen-
tative of large dealer or hacien-
dado" who comes on a mission to
sell beans 10 a broker az this place.
The law of supply and demand
seems to be interpreted officially
rather than according to absolute
fixed rules; by the merchant from
our neighbor republic. As he is
coming to the customer, he there
fore sets a low price upon his
goods. Ii will be supposed that he
offers beans at twenty two cents
and the broker buys them. After
the beans have all been sold by the
broker he will send &c the merchant
in Mexico TO buy more. The posi-
ton is reversed: The customer is
coming to the dealer, and the latter
therefore fixes the price higher. and
charges thirty cents. No amount
of reasoning or argument can alter
the condition one whit.
If the broker desires TO buy he
must plank down the stated price,
or get no beans.
On the other side of the transac-
ton presents a different phase.
The broker sold his first shipment
of beans to a house up in the
State. Later he receives an open
order for more. He clearly cannot
ill this order without raising the
price; and if he raises the price it
is up to him to make satisfactory
explanation to his customers. If
the rise is only one or a fraction of
one cent il will be difficult enough
to make his patron see why; but if
il is eight cents higher, as in the
above case, the broker had just as
well throw up the sponge. This
is what is called being between the
Satanic potentate and the profound
azure tinted main.
This is one of the difficulties and
a very serious one which must be
surmouuted in some way before
international commerce between
Mexico and the United States can
be perfected to the easy process
enjoyed between the states. The
Americans believe their system is
best, and it would be vain TO hope
that they would retrograde to the
antiquated methods that are in
ferred by the above to be still in
vogue in the great Latin American
republic. The only remedy, there
fore, will be to cultivate the Yankee
plan 10 a greater extent in Mexico.
1t certainly has the advantage OF
speed and also eliminates UNI
certainty and guess work to a great
exient.-Laredo Times.

Won't Talk.

Is Jersey City to have new theatre,
and if so is it to be located opposite or
in the vicinity of the City Hall? A per-
sistent rumor has it that the Klein Es-
tate, which is a corporation, has secured

Holmes, of the Bijou Thea tire, has for
some time been looking around for a site
for a new theatre. The Klein Estate,
in a measure, runs the Bon-Ton Thea

tate. The Bon-ton met with little sue
cess until it was converted into vaude-
vile theatre several years ago. and since
then it has been very profitable invest

from the start.

Especial TO 1.-THE jersey City News.
TRENTON, Feb. 27, 19O5.-The nu-
merous hearings 10 take place this week
VIII keep the legislators busy. In addi-
tion there are to be important measures
introduced.
The introduction of these important
measures at this late day and the asser-
ton Of Leader Dufield that the session
will not adjourn until these bills have
been disposed Of confirm the opinion ex-
pressed few weeks ago that it would
be well into April before final adjourn
ment was reached.
Te hearing carnival will begin early
tomorrow morning, when the house COM
mittee on game and fisheries will give
hearing upon the bill introduced by F. c..
Henry, of Middlesex, which prohibits
fishing with nets in the Raritan bay and
the waters adjacent thereto during the
months of June, July, August and Sep
temher. In the afternoon win come the
hearings on the Colby limited franchise
bill and the measure for the annexation
of Bloomfield to the city Of Newark.
The former viii be given by the com
mittee on municipal corporations and the
latter by the committee on towns and
townships
The forces favoring the limited fran
chise bill viii be led by the introducer
of the measure, Assemblyman Everett
Colby. and among those who will speak
against the bill viii be Major Carl
Ientz, the chairman of the Essex
county Republican committee.
on "Wednesday there is to be a hearing
on the amendments to the Tenement
House law, which were introduced by
Assemblynan Duff, of Hudson. A large
delegation from Jersey City is expected
TO appear before the judiciary Committee
and tell, how. as alleged, the present law
has greatly retarded building operations
in that city, and, as it is further as
serted, driven many builders out of the
business.
A Delegation from Paterson is also ex-
pected TO appear before the committee
and make similar arguments. The friends
of the law, however are not greatly
alarmed over the threatened invasion of
the State House and believe that the
general benefits which have been derived
from the act too far offset any detriment
the Jersey City and Paterson men can
show TO warrant the Legislature in de-
stroying or in any way impairing the
efficiency of the law
The first measure to result from the
work Of the recent Equal Taxation Com
mission is slated to be introduced by
1.eaaer Dufield in the House tonight.
Il is the bill to provide for a State Board
Of Equalization TO consider appeals in the
matter Of the taxation of railroad prop
; erty.
At the present time there is no appeal
from the decision Of the state board Of
assessors except TO the courts on points
