Mex., Oct. 7.-The Economlata Mextcana, the leading weekly on the Inanclal work which relleela ofTIelol views to some . extent has an article on the recent purchase by the government of the controlling IntnriMt In the Inter-Oceanic Railway bet cen thla city and the Port of Vera Crux. The Economlata traces the growtoi power of great railway com. panlea hre. Increasing continually by consolldatUn and purchase of connect ing llna tnd declares that the Mexi can Central railway wtth lis new ac quisitions la at the head of one group, while the National railroad whose guag la blng widened, belongs to en- other. The first I the Rockefeller group. The seconJ la the Speyer group. The Speyer group Is sold to have b?n contemplating buying the control of '.he Inler-Oreanlc railway, which would have made the Mex'ran Railway very powerful In railway af- farlrs here and the government determ ined to cheekmate the great American Railway eonilldator by uning the Inter-Oceanic for Itself, and so pre venting the approach of the monopoly which It claims to have foreseen In transportation. It must, aaya the Etonomista, have been superficially Judged that with the Mexican Central group on one slide and the Speyer group on the other, there could have been peril from luck of competition In railway rates, but recent American hlatory shows that great rivals often combine Interests and make the public defenseless. of Some Lively Reminiscences.
