CURRENCY REFORM IN MEXICO
THE JMMEDIATE EFFECT,
Hart + + vongworm
At fimt sight it seems curious, says H. M. Chande d'Affairer in Mexico, that in the very year in which one of tho, laïgest incresses in | the import duties bag taken place; the sale of fiscal stamps, which fairly accurately reflecte the state of the„internal trade of the country, should show such an insignificant increase. Nevenbeless, the uncertainty in respect to the projected currency reform, the fear that it might result is a paralysation of the national industries, and the direquilibrium" produced by the alteration in the standard of value of all commodities, sufficiently account' for the fact that transactions in the interiors of the Republic during last year' did not recieve the same forward impuire as the imports of foreign goods, which are usually regulated by consider ations of the moment, and can be liquidated within a relatively short period of time. For the year 1906–7, “it is to be assumed that the country will continue to reầp the advantages of the above-mentioned reform, advantages the importance of which the people are now com- mancing to feel. Some reaction mapossibly accur, it is true, until the balance of our foreign actions are to-day conducted on a fixed baals trade is firmly established,but commercial trans-
which was wanting formerly, and great as'ls the fear of the insecurity which might be pro- duced by the contraction of the currency, it is probable that these conditions, if they make. themselves felt, will rather affect the importa” tions than the markets for calional product, thus producing the very opposite-result from that, which took place in the past fiscal yent.
