Suspension of Food Imports From
 Mexico.

The action of the Mexican govern ment, in prohibiting the exportation of foodstuffs and food animals to the United States, as announced by the Department of Commerce, closes a door through which the United States has been receiving considerably quan- titles of food, even during the dis turbances in that country, and which was of very considerable importance in former years. A compilation by the National City Bank of New York, of the principal foodstuffs entering the United States from Mexico shows that the total amounted to over S12,O0O, 900 in 1916, and this total Is much below the normal, which ranged from $15,- 900 900 to 25,000,0 900 in former years.
 The prohibition, according to the announcement of the Department of Commerce, includes cattle, sheep. goats and other food animals, flour and other articles of prime necessity, pro- visions, coffee, peppers and beans.
 Cattle are among the most import ant of the food animals imported from Mexico. In 1916 they amounted in value to over $4,000.0 900. and in 1915 and 1914 about $S,00O, 900 per aEnuna.
