NOT
DEAD IN MEXICO
DESPITE WARS
Mining ParaIyzed, but Foreign
Trade Grows Under Extremely
Adverse Conditions.

To the many in the United States
who think Of Mexico as a land in
which ali business is paralyzed and
the home Of a people who do little else
than fight among themselves, a re-
cent report from United States Con-
sui General Arnold Shanklin, stationed
at Mexico City, to the Department Of
Commerce at Washington, stating
that Mexico's foreign trade last year
was valued at S253,OOO,OOO, United
States currency, viii come as dis
tinct surprise
Mr. Shanklin does not paint the sit
uatlon as bright or very hopeful, but
probably not nearly so gloomy as
many in this country have come to
think OF course, conditions are
worse in the Southern Republic now
than when the year began. The pres
ent trouble. he points out, really be-
gan as early as February, 1912, and
continued to increase through the
year causing business depression.
Many of the large mines were forced
to close down for lack either Of Ia
hor or of railroad transportation for
ore
Trade Shows Growth.
In view Of these conditions the sur
prise will be that anything like the
amount Of foreign business was done
in 1872, when 1t exceeded that of the
year before by nearly $l0,00O,000. The
1912 imports into Mexico were valued
at S5o,OO0,000, and the exports at
$3.50, 600, 900
Quite as interesting as the figures
themselves Is the fact brought out by
MI Shankin that the United States.

Local Dealers Think Foreign Com

Is General Opinion.

There seems TO be little fear in At
lanta that the tariff will have any di-
rect influence on the hardware bust
ness. Local dealers declare that the
American manufacturer will be able to
successfully compete With foreign-ma9e
goods.
This sentiment has been expressed in
various quarters, notably before the
American Hardware Manufacturers As
ISOLATION and the American Hardware
Jobbers' Association.
w. E. Taylor, of Cleveland, president
Of the Jobbers' Association, declared in
his annual address that there was no
alarm among members Of his organiza-
ton as to the effect Of the new law, and
that, in his opinion, Eventually it will
work to Increase production in this
country"
'"The American manufacturer is able
to hold his own" said Pierpont b.
Noyes, Of Oneida, \ Y president Of the
American Hardware Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, in addressing that body. He
not only will be able successfully to
compete with the foreign manufacturer
in this country but will continue to
find good market for American goods

LONDON, Nov. 15-The drastic &C

Salesman Finds Scarcity Of Money

CHILE is OUR BEST FIELD
Argentina a Better Market, but
the Merchants Are Difficult
to Deal With.


Wv
Holmes, who Tor three years mas oeeh
travelling in South America for an
American commercial concern, says
that while Argentina IS the biggest
market in South America for manu-
facts~ed goods, Chile is the easiest
for a. american TO sell in. At the
present time. however, most Of the
lower countries are suffering from a
great business depression.
Il made BuenOs Ayros my head

quay, Chile, Peru and, OF course, In
Argentina" said Mr.. Holmes ITO a

1T is a great mistake for anybody
who goes down TO South America to
DO business to imagine that you can

Mr. Holmes with a sigh.
People down there dislike doing
business through pm interpreter un-
less they have been doing business
with your house for long time
Firms which send men down there TO
represent them ought TO pay enough
TO attract men who can converse with
the merchants in their own tongue.
Then business Is bad pretty gem

Two years ago what promised to be a

is so. It is a good thing, for il seems
