What do you know about Ceres?" DO
you mean de worlds series?' asked the
new kid in school.-Washington Herald.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-10-18

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE National
Association of Manufacturers, which
maintains a big staff of correspondents
in all parts of the world in order to
keep in touch with business conditions
everywhere, has just made public what
is purported to be a thoroughly accur-
ate statement of trade conditions
throughout Mexico. A corps of resi-
dent correspondents in each Mexican
state were asked to report fully on
every phase of the business situation
in their respective localities The re-
suits of the Investigations show that
the gold resources do not permit the
government to maintain the Mexican
peso at it's former exchange value.
Prices have increased and the markets
are uncertain Credit has been dis
turbed seriously.
In making public the report of its
correspondents the association also
gave out a business map of Mexico
showing the situation in the republic.
The map demonstrates that the dis
tricts chiefly disturbed so far bust
ness is concerned are the northern
states of Sonora, Chihuahua. Coahuila.
and Nuevo Leon, and the central states
of Durango and Zacatecas. Other
states in which bad business due to the
revolution is reported are those of San
Luis Potosi. Guanajuato. Hidaleo,
Michoacan, Queretaro, Morelos and
Tiaxvala, all in the central and south
central part of the republic.
The states in which conditions are
reported as normal are those of Lower
California, Sinaloa, Topic, Jalisco,
Tamaulipas and Vera Cruz, Guerrero,
Oaxaca. the home state of Forfirio
Diaz; Chiapas, the territory Of Qnintana
Roo; Campeche, Yucatan, Tabasco and
Puebla, with the exception of a small
strip of territory which takes in the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The dark
part of the map indicates the most dis
turbed districts, the shaded part those
states in which conditions are not so
bad, while the white sections are those
in which normal conditions prevail The
ia bles which follow indicate briefly the
present condition of business in some of
the more important states of the re-
public
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in this state is
almost al a standstill. No credit is be-
ing given unless guaranteed by mort
cages. Few importations. A consid-
cradle rise in prices has taken place,
partly on account of the rise in eX-
change and partly because of the
scarcity of farm crops, as agriculture
has been largely abandoned.
Coahuila-Business bad or stagnant,
but so far no important failures. Mer-
chants generally have curtailed sales.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-10-18

and both local and foreign credits are
restricted Prices have been soaring, in
keeping with the rates of exchange.
The majority of the correspond ents
view the situation hopefully, feeling
that considerable Roadway has been
made by the federal government.
Nuevo Leon-As in Coahuila.
Mexico City-All business in Mexico
City has suffered greatly in the last
three years, some lines being almost
stagnant. Importations being restrict
ed, local manufacturers in some in
stances have benefited. Dealers in war
materials and supplies have done well,
but, on the whole, the bad effects of
the revolution far overbalance the ben
efits to particular interests.
Vera Cruz-F'rom Cordoba and Jalapa
business is reported as good; from
Orizaba as satisfactory, except in the

DUST WORTH MILLIONS.
Blast Furnaces Blow Away Thousands
of Tons Valuable Material Yearly.

In these progressive days, when up
to-date manufacturers consider from
and economic point of view the utiliza-
ton of everything possible in their raw
materials, it is interesting to know the
value of some of these in the shape OF
dust which was formerly wasted, but
is now utilized
A notable instance may be quoted in
the shape of f1ue dust in the manufac-
ture of pig iron. This dust is blown
by the blast furnaces into the fiues by
the fierce blast necessary to generate
the heat to manufacture the pig iron,
and is composed of iron ore, limestone,
coke, ETC.; in fact, the same ingredi-
ents as make the iron. Hitherto, al
though thousands of tons of this have
been available and known to be OF
value, it has been a waste product and
dumped in heaps owing to the difficulty
of COMPRISING it without a binder, but
there has been discovered, within the
last year or SO, process of briquet-
ting it. and the result is that approx
mately the discovery is worth f2. $780,
coo yearly to the United States alone,
as merchantable iron is now being
made from such dust--London Tit
Bits.
