TIIE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM. OREGON .SUNDAY MORNTNfJ JANUARY H, 1024 I 1 in F LVITII SUIIT! Mexican Business With Unit, ed States Amounts to 250 Million Dollars Trade of the United States with our next door neighbor at the oath. Mexico, aggregated about $250,000,000, in the calendar year 1923. and $2,500,000,000 In the decade ending with 1923. While onr trade relations with Mexico bate always, been good, says the Trade Record of The Na tional City . Bank of New . York, they, quite naturally improved af ter the beginning ot the war in "Europe from which Mexico had formerly $rawn ' a ' considerable percentage, of her imports. In the year prior to -the opening of the war, 'the calendar year 1913, Mexico took only 48 per cent of her Imports from the United States although she was sending us 7S per cent of her exports, bnt with the difficulties and dancers ROCK SPRINGS Egg Coal UTAH Nut Coal $15.00 PER TON - PHONE, 1855 J ' - Order Early . attending trans-Atlantic commerce during 'thA war-she developed the habit of buying a larger share of her .., imports from the United States and in 1920 she took '15 per crnt of her imports from this country a against 4S per cent in the year preceding the war and sent urt 8S per cent of her exports as against 76 per cent in the pre war year. This growth In the trade rela tions between the United States and Mexico is further evidenced by our own trade figures which show that our exports to Mexico in the ten years since the begin ning of the war have aggregated 31,129,009,000 against about 3550,000,000 in the ten years pre ceding the war, while our imports from Mexico in the 1914-23 period totaled 1,2SO,000,000 against ap proximately $550,000,000 in the decade preceding the opening of the war. In the calendar year 1922 the imports from Mexico were $132,000,000 arid the exports thereto $110,000,000, while the latest ' available figures indicate that the imports from Mexico in the calendar year 1923 will be about $120,000,000, bringing our total tradeNwith Mexico in 1923 up to the quarter of a billion line against 125 million dollars in 1913. In fact, the percentage which we supply of the imports of Mexico is greater than our share in the imports of any other impor tant country. 'Canada takes about 60 per cent of her imports from us while as already indicated Mex ico takes 75 per cent of her Im ports from the United States. ' What are the articles forming this big trade between the United States and Mexico? The , mer chandise which we buy from Mex ico is chiefly manufacturing mate rial and tropical foodstuffs, and the exports which we send to her are chiefly manufactures.

This , makes Ttadio feasible . f o r t h e farmers also who otherwise would be under the burden of having to cart a heavy storage bat tery to town to get it charged once a week. Some firms take an unfair advantage by demonstrating sets with 6-volt tubes and storage batteries, knowing full well that these larger tubes will pro duce louder sounds. We are glad to meet competition under the same conditions and using the same kind of tubes. However we have found (hat the disadvantages of storage battery reception out-weigh the advan tages for home use, and we recommend dry bat teries.
