MEXICO PROSPEROUS
ON THE GOLD BASIS

New York. Sent. l5.-Mexico's first

He says investments Of foreign capi-
tai, which had practically stopped for
two years prior to the change In an
ticipation of It, were at once resumed
on larger scale than before and ma
tive capital, which had also been held
back, was quickly released. At least
$3.50, 900, 600 OF foreign capital was in
vested IN enterprises In Mexico dur-
Ing her first year as a gold standard
country, about one-half of 1t Ameri-
can, the rest largely French and Cana

Most Of the new American capital
was invested in railroad construction,
mining equipment, plantations city

ments. The total investments OF AM
erican citizens I'm Mexico now aggre-
gate $500, ,00O, 900.
Mexico has begun her second year

auspiclous circumstances. Finance
Minister Limantour has budgeted ST.

the current fiscal year. The annual
$40, 100000 silver production is ex-
pected to show substantial increase

COTTON RATES

Interstate Commerce Com
mission Takes Action on
Petition of Carriers 0perat-
ing in Southern Territory.

Washington. Seps 17.--The inter-
rendered its decision on the petition Of
the Southern Railway company and
other carriers operating east of the
Missouri riverand south of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers for permission to
equalze the export rates on cotton,
cotton, cotton seed and its products,
and lumber, and thereby make chang
es in their export rates, without the
thirty days notice required by the
rate law
The commission holds that carriers
may legally issue through bills of lad
ing from an interior point of shipment
to foreign destination which specify
the inland rate to the port Of export
and ocean rate from port of export,
even though no joint rate is pub
lished.
The commission orders that mo
published rates on cotton shall be ad-
vanced except upon thirty days no.
tice; that from and after this date
and until March /, 1907, carriers may
reduce their published export rates on
cotton to various ports of export upon
three days notice, and that until No
vember |, 1906, carriers may continue
to equalize the export cotton rates
through the various ports by applying
the lowest combination through all
ports, thereby making said rates
without publication and filing as re-
quired by law, providing that they
post In two conspicuous places i'm the
station where cotton is received for
shipment notices of the rates so made
and mail copies of same to the com
mission, said notices to specify the
rate and the time during which the
| rate will continue in effect"
AS to cotton seed and its products
and lumber. the petition was denied.
Scores of applications for permission
TO change freight rates have been re-
ceived by the commission during the
past few days. and I'm every instance
the changes which the railroads de-
sire to make are reductions. Applica-
| tions have been entirely voluntary.
Commissioner Franklin Lane said:
1T would seem from the number
and Importance of these voluntary re-
ductions that many carriers recognize
that their rates were too high at the
time of the enactment of the law. 1t
also seems that they are preparing for
the operation of the new law, under
which freight rates cannot be changed
with the facility that formerly was
| the rule"
