PLAN WELCOMED BY DlAz

OTTAWA. Feb. 4-Canadian enter
prise seems likely TO find an unusually
remuneratiye field in Mexico as the re-
suit of the visits of Sir William Mulocis
| to that country and the acquaintance
the Canadian postmaster general has
formed with President Diaz.
Mexican Imports, it appears, will this
year reach value of 800. 900, 600 in gold,
which figure must increase as the coun-
/ try develops in population and wealth.
The conditions under which rnanufac-
turing is carried on in Mexico are such
that in many branches there is very lit
tie probability of the native industries
ever being able to compete successfully
with those of Canada. In paper and cot
| ton, for instance. the products of the
Canadian mills are of quality so supe-
rior it will answer Mexican requirements
far better for many years to come to
import from Canada than to rely on
home manufa ctures.
Want Trade Extended.
Sir William said that when he first
visited the City Of Mexico he found the
government and the people deploring the
fact that they had but one really COM
niercial neighbor, and from the Presi-
! dent down all expressed a desire to see
the zone of their trade relations extend
| ed 10 the Dominion. President Dfaz
with whom the postmaster general had
several interviews, expressed himself ia
this sense, and on all sides the warm
est feeling toward Canada and Cana
dams was found
These kindly sentiments were strong
y accentuated by Seniors Marescal and
I-imantour, the ministers of foreign af-
/ fairs and finance, respectively, both Of
whom desire closer trade relations with
Canada. Sir William looks for the es-
tablishment of the Cauadian-M di-
rect steamship service on the Atlantic
side soon after the service of the Pa
| cific side, the arrangements for which
are finished, is in complete running Or
der.

Estate Deals.

Some rays of light penetrate the
clouds of doubt that have been hang
ing over the real estate situation in
the District for some time. One is the
report of the Inspector of Buildings for
the month of January. another is the
fact that property owners along the line
of the Fourteenth street road are cut
ting down the timber on their land in
view of the impending condemnation Of
property for the extension of Four
teenth street to the Piney Branch road.
The Building Inspectors report shows
a gratifyingly large increase III the
number of permits issued, indicating
that there is a fair prospect Of ae-
tivity in the construction field in the
coming spring. Inquiry discovers that
a considerabl proportion of these per-
mits cover work already begun, but

pared and the execution of which Is to
