 followed the situation, that trade conditions this fall will not come
 up to the standard of past years.
 The harvesting of crops, which
 usually begins in the month of No-
 vember, and continues through De- cemher and into the first of the
 year, IS he cause of a great deal of
 money coming into the capital each year This year these receipts
 will be diminished by q noticeable amount. Business houses of Mex. leo which have done large busi- ness throughout the districts most affected, and which yet have large sums of money due them, are preparing to carry accounts over until next seasons crops are harvested.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: It is stated in railroad circles that re- commendations have been made 10 E N. Brown, president of the Ma tional Railways of Mexico, by of. hclals of the system, that nine schools, in addition to the one pro- posed in Mexico should be esta blish- ed along the lines of the National railways for the instruction of Mexican employees. It was pro- posed, 1t Is said, to establish schools at Gomez Palacio, Puebla, Jalapa, Chihuahua, Aguasca .ientes, Acam- baro, Doha Cecilia, San Luis Poto- si and Monterrey. A school has already been established at Guada- lajara and it is proposed to open one at San Laza:o, in this city, within few days. It is said that at all points mentioned above schools will be established during this month. The recommenda ton Of the policy by officials under Mir Brown grows out of the desire of the management to increase the of native employees and facilitate the Mexicanization of the various departments.
