Mexico City on December 9, wholesale merchants resolved to shorten trade credit from six to four months due to silver’s slump and fluctuating exchange rates. Retail houses will mirror the cut with customers, signaling a tightening of consumer credit nationwide. A U.S. firm plans an Puebla water power concession to generate 80 660 horsepower for transmission to multiple points, likely including this city, with council authorization anticipated. Taft expected to succeed Shiras on the U S Supreme Court bench, with Taft’s Philippine commission role triggering a reshuffle of island governance and U S Chinese liaison posts as a consequence. In Tangier Sultan’s troops were defeated while advancing on Rabat, as Moroccan forces repelled the assault in a late action near the Rabat line.
