OF ENJOYS VISIT
ONLY PARTLY CLEARED

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan. with
the departure last Saturday, of the
scout cruiser Chester, bearing John
Lind, the presidents personal envoy,
back to Mexico to continue his obser-
vations of Mexican affairs, the mys-
terry which has enveloped Mr.. Lind's
visit to President Wilson was only
partially cleared.
Just why the nations chief execu-
tive decided not to permit Mr.. Lind
to have any "shore leave" and took
upon himself the Inconvenience of
being trans-shipped four times at sea,
has not been explained. President
Wilson volunteered no explanation,
but one Of the suggestions current is
that he did not wish the special en-
voy to be subjected to the inquisition

NATIONAL CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE REPORTS

Washington, Jan. 5.-"Any general
sta tement as to conditions of manu-
featuring throughout the United
States would at present be both mis-
leading and inaccurate, since this con-
dition varies according to the locality
and the nature of the product" said a
symposium of business conditions is
sued by the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States. The data was COM
piled by the department of statistics
on reports Of one day-November 20,
1913, which were taken to be fairly
representative.
"The textile industry is adjusting
itself to changed conditions, resulting
from decreased tariff rates" contin-
ues the report, "but the effect so
far does not Justify previous appre-
tensions. The paper manufacturing
business is below normal, while shoe
manufacturing is good, with pros
poets of an advance in prices. This is
true, likewise, Of the leather tanning
business. All manufacturing connect
ed intimately with the railroad and
with the steel and iron industries is
necessarily feeling the depression of
these two great branches of business.
"The great increase in the popula-
ton Of this country and consequently
the increased demand for meat com
ing at the same time as the decrease
in the number Of cattle and sheep
naturally has brought about the pres
ent high price Of meat Consequently
there has come d widespread appre-
hcnsion Of the ultimate trend of this
tendency.

ever, indicated that it is one of those

LOW Err FREIGHT RATES AID
INCREASED COTTON PLANTING

Los Angeles, Jan. o. ecund With
promise for the Imperial valley and
Los Angeles harbor are the revised
rates on cotton and cotton iinters
which will become effective on the
10th inst. on the Southern Pacific
between valley points and this city
and its harbor, according 70 Traffic
Manager Grecson Of the Associated
JObbers and others who have made
intensive studies Of the situation. The
revision is in the form Of cut Of
10 cents hundred in The rate TO
this city and of % cents in The rate
20 the harDor.
A further result Of the reduction
will be the establishment of d 25-cent
1ifferential between the Imperial val
ey-LOs Angeles rate and the rates
between valley points and San Fran
cisco, Oakland and East Oakland. The
establishment of this differential
means, according to Gregson, that
San Francisco bay points will no
longer enjoy the advantages which
they once did in handling cotton des
tined to the Orient.
At present the rate from valley
points to this city is 50 cents a hun
dred and to the harbor 81 cents. Yet

economic problems that is likely to
solve itself and that the number of
cattle in their relation to the number
of inhabitants moves rather in a Sc
ries of cycles than in a straight line.
For instance, the number of cattle
for 100 of population is the same now
as it was in 1870 and 1900, but we
are evidently facing great change in
the cattle raising industry.
can impartial survey, therefore, of
the situation seems to warrant the
statement that while the price of cat
tie probably will continue high, the
various agencies mentioned will grad
) ually work for a more abundant sup
ply and a more reasonable price.
"Throughout the central west, de-
spite the drought, there is a general
feeling of hopefulness. This seems to
be partly due to the fine prospects of
the growing winter wheat and to the
hope and the belief that many of the
serious political and economic ques-
tons that have created such disturb
ances of the past are now in fair
way toward solution.
"Throughout the Southeast, eastern
Atlantic states, mercantile business is
in a good condition, and this is true
in general throughout the West and
South. Business varies much in these
sections, according to location Where
crops were good, business was fairly
active, and in sections where crop re-
turns last year were poor business is
corresp ondingly quiet.
"The nations foreign commerce for
1913 approXimated $4,25O,O00,OOO, the
department of commerce estimates.
OF that amount, $2,500,00O,0 repre-
sents exports and $1,750,000,0OO i'm
ports, making the balance of trade in
favor of the United States S750,000,-
900, which exceeds the record of any
previous year.
''The years exports were the larg-
est in the history of the country,
while the imports were exceeded only
by those of 1912. The decline in i'm
ports is attributed in part to reduc-
ton in prices of certain articles i'm
ported.
= can increase of foodstuffs exported
was chiefly in wheat, corn, barley,
oats, flour, bacon and lard; in manu-
facturers exports increases are re-
corded in automobiles, railway cars,
electric machinery, manufactures of
iron and steel, lumber, copper and
mineral OIL"
