i | "EXPECTS BIG 1920 TRADE WITH MEXICO By Ralph H. Turner (United Press Correspondent) City of Mexico, Jan. 20. (By Mail.) —Mexico’s purchases from the Unit- ed States during 1920 will reach a walue of approximately $150,000,000, William F. Sanders, formerly of St. Louis and now secretary of the Amer- j¢an Chamber of Commerce of Mexico -estimated today in talking to the United Press representative. Saunders was speaking of Amer- jca's growing trade with Mexico, in connection with the trade conference which will be held here February 11, 12 and 13, under the auspices of the American Chamber of Commerce. Neither diplomatic tangles between the United States and Mexico, nor Mexico's internal uisorder, have halt- ed the increase in American trade. Saunders’ estimate was based on past figures and -on present indications. He does not overlook the fact that the unexpected usually happens in Mexico, but the present, he believes, points to further expansion in Ameri- ean commerce. “According to the latest figures available,” he said, ‘“Mexico, during the twelve months ending July, 1910, bonght goods from the United States valued at $119,962,982, an increase of $12,885,949 over the preceding year. At the present time there is a perceptible advance in the standard of living of the Mexican people and their demands are increasing. Their wurchases during 1920 will include all kinds of machinery—mining, oil, electrical, sugar and agricultural— automobiles, chemicals and drugs, bardware, tools all kinds of clothing, building materials and food products. ‘“Manufacturers and jobbers who want Mexican trade are advised to @stablish themselves now in this eountry, advertise their goods, and while profiting by present conditions, build for the future.” The American Chamber of Com- merce was organized toward the close of ihe war, with the encouragment of the State Department, to promote American business in Mexico. It aims today to analyze markets, aid in the establishment of agencies, provide credit data and render a general in- formation service useful to the Amer- fean manufacturer and exporter. , ' Object Lesson in Thrift An ingenious professor of mathe- matlcs has figured out that one cent Invested at the beginning of the Chris- dan era (1,919 years ago) at a rate of interest equnl to the government Liberty bonds, that is, 4% per cent, with interest compounded to date, would make 100,000 globes of solid gold, each the weight of the earth. The earth weighs six and twenty-one cipbers tons. But the 1 cent, with itz accumulations, reduced to a mini- mumm weight in gold at the rate of $20 fn the ounce, would, he says, make 100,000 planets of the earth’s weight!
