Commerce Between the u. S. and Mexico

commerce 6eEUegn me u. y. " 1YeAtCO
Trade Of the United States with Mexico in the
fiscal year just ended showed a larger total than ever
before, according to figures compiled by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce Department OF
Commerce. The imports Of merchandise from Mexico
in 1918 were u - million dollars, against 66 million
in 1912 and 81 - million in 1911, the total for 1913
being larger than in any preceding year. Exports to
Mexico were 81 12 million dollars, against 50 ga mil
lion in 1912 and 81 IA million in 1911, the figures OF
1913 being less than those of two or three carrier
wears. but more than those OF the Immediately pre-
ceding year. The grand total of imports and exports
for 1913 was larger than in any earlier year.
Manufacturers materials form the bulk of imports
from Mexico, and manufactures the bulk Of exports
to that country. Copper, sisal grass, mineral olls'
hides and skins, gums, lead in ore, and coffee are the
principal articles imported from Mexico, while manu-
features of iron and steel, lumber, boots and shoes,
agricultural implements, automobiles, railway cars
cottonseed oil, meats, wheat, corn, cotton, coal ana
coke are the principal exports to that country.
Copper in pigs, ingots and bars is the largest
single item in the list of articles imported from Mex
leo, amounting to 1913 million dollars in 1913,
against IA 70 million, in 1925, while the copper in
ore imported from that country amounted to over 2
million dollars in 1873 against a little less than 2
million in 1912. Curiously, about 3 million dollars
worth of copper ore is exported to Mexico, oelns
chiefly the product of sections lying Immediately
along the Mexican border and of a grade readily nan
died by certain smelling establishments in the north
ern section of Mexico. Sisal grass imported amount
ed to Is IL million dollars, against 03-4 million in
the preceding year; crude mineral oils, about. mil
lion dollars in 1913. against a little over 2 million in
1912.
50 MANY other commodities run in like ration, ana
the list is, indeed, astonishing to one who may not
have studied the question. The rebellion which IS
going on in Mexico, and the threats of war with
difference, but on the other hand, business has IN
creased at q surprising rate. If Mexico ever becomes
civilized it would make a very usefu' neighbor.
There would have been no criticism OF Secretary
Bryan if he had followed the ordinary human tend
ency in the quest Of relaxation and gone hsnins
