Five cars of Mexican zinc ores were caught in Fl Paso when the tariff bill was signed by President Taft and had to be entered at the custom house and pay the duty imposed by the terms of the late tariff bill. These cars were being rushed to the border when the bull became law. The new tariff bill will operate severely against Mexican zinc ores, and while the erection of zinc furnaces are contemplated in the republic the market will be consider ably curtailed.
