TRADE M MEXICO
Shows a Decline For last
Year
Effect of the Disturbed Conditions
In Country Falling Off of Twelve
Million Dollars. -
Trade of the United States with
Mexico is showing the effect of the
disturbed business conditions in
that country. This is especially true
with the reference to exports which
show a much greater decline than im
ports. Exports to Mexico during the
last year show a fall of about 20
percent when compared with the im
mediately preceding year, while im
ports 3I10W also a slight decline but
less than that of exports. The total
value of exports to Mexico during
the 12 months ending with January
1912, the latest figures of the bureau
of statistics, department of com
merce and labor, is $52,271,987,
against; $64, 071,059 in the corres
ponding months of the immediately
preceding year, a declineof about
12 million dollars, or an average
falling off of a little more than a
million dollars a month during this
period. Imports from Mexico dur
ing the same period amounted to
$59,227,516, against $59,981,890
during the corresponding period of
the preceding year, being less than
1 million dollars decrease.
This falling off of 12 million dol
lars in the exports to Mexico in the
12 months ending with January
1912 becomes even more apparent
when contracted with our trade with
other parts of tliet world. Exports to
South America, for example, show
an increase of. 23 percent in the 7
months ending with January 191 2,
when compared with the correspond
ing months of the preceding year;
those to Cuba and the other West
Indies, a slight increase; while to,
Mexico, the exports-.' during, .the 7
months ending with January, 1912,
decrease nearly 25 percent, and dur
ing the year, as indicated above,
about 20 percent. In every month
since April 1911, the value of mer
chandise exported to Mexico has
been less than that of the corres
ponding month of the preceding year,
April, 1911, having been in fact the
only one of the past 1 2 months which
did not show a decline in exports to
Mexico when compared with the cor
responding month of the preceding
year. .'.-
Manufacturers form by far the
largest part of our exports to Mexico
under ordinary conditions. Of the
60 million dollars worth of domestic
merchandise exported to Mexico
during the fiscal year 1911, manu
facturers of iron and steel alone
amounted .to over 30 million dollars;
cars, about 2 million; boots and
shoes, and other manufactures of
leather, about 2 million; cotton seed
oil, nearly 2 million; lumber, nearly
3 million; scientific instruments,
more than 1 million; chemicals,
chiefly manufactured, over 1 million;
explosives, nearly 1 million; auto
mobiles, over one-half million; agri
cultural implements, over one-half
million; glass and glassware, near
ly one-half million; manufactures of
India rubber, nearly three-fourths of
a million; furniture, about three
fourths of a million; and a large
number of other manufactures in
less sums, while in other articles the
reports of the bureau of statistics
show corn to the value of nearly
5 million dollars and meats, about
2 million, in each case a material In
crease ovor the preceding, year.
The falling off in exports to Mex
ico, as above outlined, is evidently
a mere part of the general reduction
I in her imports, a reduction in which
the United States partclpates to a
somewhat less degree than do other
! countries. An examination of the
1 latest official publications , of the
(Mexican government received at the
bureau of stalistics, shows a falling
off of about 1 0 percent in her "Im
ports from the United States, and
approximately 17 percent In her im
ports from air other countries, dur-
ing the six months ending with De
cember, 1911. Her exports to the

HuKbnnd Telia Story of Mrs. Guth
rie's Long Illness and Is Glad
She Is Now Relieved.
Beaufort, N. C Mr. Luther Guth
rie writes as follows: "My wife suf
fered with horrible headaches, for
ten years, and I spent Three Hundred
Dollars for doctor bills for her, but
nothing did her any good.
I had read about Cardui for years
back, but never tried it, until last
October, when I decided to get it for
my wife.
Now she has taken two bottles,
and it ha3 done her two thousand
dollars worth of good. .
She is entirely well, and has not
had another attack of headache since
she commenced to take Cardui.
Just as long as the medicine is
made, I shall have Cardui in my
home. I can't praise it half enough."
Cardui has cured sick women, af
ter other medicines have failed. It
is made of ingredients that act spe
cifically on .the womanly constitu
tion.-. It is not a cure all. It is a
medicine' for women, and only for
women.
For more than 50 years, it has
been in widely 'extended use, by wo
men of all ages, and has given per
fect satisfaction, a3 a remedy for re
building womanly health and
strength.
Try it yourself. It will help you.

there and ferments, causing sour
eructations, belching, heartburn, diz
ziness, and other distressing condi
tions. Many sufferers have given tip
