MEXICO RAISES DUTY;
WHEAT DUTIABLE NOW

a 5 percent raise on all articles al
ready dutiable has been approved by
the chamber of deputies at Mexico
city. 1t is expected that the customs
raise will become effective at JuareZ
and other ports on the first Of the
year.
Also Jan. 1 will see the reinstate-
ment of the duty on corn, wheat and
other grains. This duty was cancelled
some months ago owing to the impov-
erished condition of northern Mexico,
due to the continued revolutions, and
the shortage of the crop as a result OF
the devastation of farms and the en-
gaging of farm labor in the revolution.
The general 5 percent increase on
all articles will not apply, it is believed,
to the raw foOdstuffs such as grain.
The raise has been considerably
modified from what originally was
recommended by minister Eruesto Ma
derO. He first asked for a IS percent
increase, in excess of the 5 percent
raise made earlier in the year. This
would have caused a net 20 percent
raise within few months. The per-
cent raise was considered less danger
Gus as a radical raise, it was feared,
would have caused a general protest
from the people and business interests
dependent on important articles.
