note suggcsting that the time has
come for American troops TO leave

embassy attaches. but has not yet
been given Secretary Lansing. II was
learned today. The embassy de-
ciared the note was not on ultima

cans withdraw.
The note was characterized rather
as request" asking for negotia-
tions looking toward withdrawal OF
American troops and giving constitu-
tionalists u free hand to continue the
villa chase.

TO Ambassador Arredondo at 3 a. m.

suggestion that negotiations with re-
gard to the withdrawal might occupy
weeks. In the meantime the Ameri-
cans may capture villa. The note
was probably intended for home con-
sumption--a shrewd move TO check
any growing dissatisfaction In Mexico
because OF the American troops con
tinued presence there.

clined to discuss the note. The Mexi-

Export Business Bio.

The foreign trade of the United
States for the calendar year Of 1915
will approximate the sum of $4,000
100000, or about one-flfth of the en-
tire international trade of the world,
according to estimates made public
by the foreign trade department Of
the National City bank Of New York.
1t will be so per cent greater than
in 1915 and double that of 1914. Ex-
cess of exports over imports will ap-
proximate $3,OOO,0o0,oOO, against ST.
76s,ss4,O0O in 1915, $324,348,000 in
1914, and $691 ,422, 900 in 1918.
Complete figures for the commerce
of the entire country in the nine
months ended with September are at
hand Figures for the nine months
ended with September show total
commerce Of ,7s0,0OO,OO0, against
1888, 100000 in the corresponding Pc
riod of 1915, and $2,s77 100000 in the
nine months of 1914.
October figures of the port of New
York indicate that the total trade will
equal and probably exceed that of
September. Both imports and ex-
ports will make new records in the
current year.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Neither the
pending election nor the persistent
rise of prices have perceptibly re-
duced the momentum of the business
movement. New buying for current
and forward requirements still out
strips the facilities for both produc-
ton and distribution, labor conditions
and the growing scarcity of materials
acting as brake on manufacturing
in many directions. Car shortages
are also a hindrance and the conse-
quent restriction of fuel supplies
causes some concern. With ship
ments generally backward, and the
trend Of prices continuing strongly
upward, producers display greater re-
luctance in extending commitments
and increasing number of profitable
contracts are being rejected. Weekly
bank clearings $5,266.352,324.
