NEW TAX WILL BAR
LIQUORS IN MEXICO

AS result of the prospective adop-
tion of new and prohibitive tariff
on foreign beverages and liquors, i
is expected that importations OF wine
and whisky from France, Italy, Eng
land and Canada to Mexico, will soon
practically cease. Since the prohibl-
tion amendment went into effect in
the United States, enormous ship
ments of liquors have poured into
Mexico, especially from Canada ano
England. 1t is well known here thai
most of these shipments have ulti,
mately found their way into the
United States.
One important effect of the prohi
bitive tariff swill be to stimulate the
manufacture of domestic wines anc
liquors, it is expected. During thu
last two years there has been an enor
NOUS increase in the production of ma
tive intoxicants, including tequilla
mascal and aguardiente, and the prices
Of these liquors have increased.
