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

To the many in tho United States
who think of Mexico as a land in
which all business is paralyzed and
the home of people who do little else
than fight among themselves, a re-
cent report from United States Con-
sui General Arnold Shanklln, stationed
at Mexico City, to the Department of
Commerce at Washington, stating
that Mexicos foreign trade last year
was valued at s253,000,00o, United
States currency, will come as a dis
tinct surprise.
Mr. Shanklin does not paint the sit
uation 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 la
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 1912, when 1t exceeded that of the
year before by nearly $10,000,000 The
1912 imports into Mexico were valued
at $93,000,000, and the exports at
$3.50, 900 900.
Quite as interesting as the figures
themselves is the fact brought out by
Mr.. Shanklln that the United States,
in spite of the suspected Ill feeling of
the .Mesicans toward Americans,
bought. more from Mexico and sold
more to Mexico than all the rest of
the world put together.
while the foregoing figures" OBJ
serves Mr.. Shanklin, SHOW decrease
of more than $6,000.000 in Mexico
gold exports, the exports of silver and
other products show really remark
able increase under the circumstances.
Henequen Price Rises.
1.-THE increase in the value of vege'
table products exports, in spite or dis
turbed conditions existing throughout
the richest agricultural regions, is ac-
counted for by the greatly improved
price Of henequen, which is the pr1n-
cipal export of Yucatan, That sec
ton was not greatly affected by the
revolutionary disturbances.
1.-THE budget statement OF the Min
lister of Finance for the fiscal year
1913-1914," Mr. Shanklin continues
shows that great progress has been
made in the cultivation and produc-
ton of wheat in Mexico; 80 much so
that it Is estimated that the produc-
ton for the present year will equal
the demands of the home market
Present conditions, however, do not
| point to the fulfllment of this hope.
