Mexico and global trade and a U S court ruling and Germany submarine plan
Mexico's mall matter in the first half of 1908 was 90,000,000 pieces, against $6,000,000 in the first half of 1907. Mexico buys American mining electrical pumping power and agricultural machinery to the tune of $17,500,000 gold yearly. Mexico exports chiefly fibre, raw hides, coffee, lead, vanilla, beans, and other items. A United States District Court in Grand Rapids, Mich., fined Stearns Salt and Lumber Company of Ludington $10,000 for taking rebates from Pere Marquette on Ludington to Toledo shipments. The German Admiralty plans to expand submarine construction after three years of Kiel experiments.
