LATE CUSTOMS RULING. 



It seems that rubber bulbs are not druggists' sundries if 

 they are made to be used on pyrographic outfits. This was 

 the decision of Judge McClelland, reversing the action of 

 the collector in assessing a 15 per cent duty as "rubber manu- 

 factures commonly known as druggists' sundries," and sus- 

 taining the claim of the importers for entry at 10 per cent 

 as "manufactures of rubber not specially provided for." 



AMERICAN INVESTMENTS IN MEXICO. 



Marion Letcher, United States consul at Chihuahua, states 

 that up to 1912, American investments in Mexico aggregated 

 $1,057,770,000. He credits $15,000,000 of that amount to Ameri- 

 can capital invested in the rubber industry.
