that has Deen raised in inc republic
for many years, and for this reason it
is thought that the duty OF three cents
per kilo OF wheat will again 20 into
effect Immediately. Large shipments
OF wheat from the United States are
now coming into Mexico and the heavy
traffic will continue for some time.
The Monterey -four mill, one of the
largest mills in Mexico, has more thar

for, mostly from the United States
The railroads will be busy for the next
ten days shipping wheat to the differ

''On account of the good crops wAieE
have been raised in the northern part
of this country | think that IL is likely
that The full duty will be placed back
on wheat, beginning this month" said
Ernesto Madero of Monterey, who is

"The crops In Coahuila, Chihuahus
and Durango are all reported to be in
excellent condition. though those IL
the southern part of Mexico are prac-
tical failure. On account of that
wheat in this section will be much
cheaper than at Mexico City, which
fact may possibly determine the course
of the action which the government
will take in the matter In favor of an
other extension of the reduced duty.
But lf the reports of the northern
states are to be believed the largest
crop In the history OF Mexico has been
raised and | think that to protect this
the full duty will be put into effect.
mo matter what will be done, the
mills In which l am interested will be
little affected for at least year to
come, for we have laid in a large sup
ply OF grain and are still buying more.
The wheat raised here is of as good a
quality as the best produced in the
United States, and soon expect to sea
Mexico become self-sustaining in that
respect"
Most Of the mills are amply supplied
with wheat and are turning out -four
as rapidly as possible. Wheat is rap
idly taking the place Of corn as the
food staple in Mexico, except with the
poorer classes, who still rely on the
corn cakes. Over 80 mills are in oper-
alton In the republic, turning out four
as rapidly as possible, but the price OF
-four remains the same, showing how
great is the demand.
