Chihuahua City, Mexico, March 4
Food is so expensive ana SO diff

most fertile countries in the world
that the poor are suffering want anO
even starvation while the more pros
porous MeXicans find it difficult tC

Prices of food in the United States
ayen if considered by American house
wives to be high, are not to be com

20 since the embargo was placed OF
the eNtortation of foodstuffs from the
United States to neutral countries.
An opportunity to compare Mexican
prices for staple articles with thost
obtaining in the United States is at
flrded by the following quotations
from merchants here
Sugar sells for 27 cents a pound
American money and is very scarce
at this price
American butter brings 80 cents q

Butter is unknown among the poorer
classes
Flour sells for Is cents a pound and
is growing more expensive as the
embargo restrictions are made more
stringent Little wheat bread is cat
on by the middle and lower classe,
who use flour for making tortlllas, p
cake made of flour and water.
American brands of coffee sell a.
nigh as 75 cents a pound and is very
scarce. Mexican green coffee brings
22 cents a pound and is roasted over
charcoal fires as it is used.
Rice, used principally by the Chin
ese and japanese living in Mexico Is
worth = cents a pound
Lard is another article which has
more than doubled in price because
~ the American embargo 1t brings

ply is the smugger.
Beans which are a staple food
throughout Mexico and are eater
three times day, sell for 10 cents a

bean is much preferred to the Amcri-

Chile peppers, crown in all parts o
Mexico, are the only foodstuff whicl
