FISHERIES AND MARKET FOR FISHERY PRODUCTS IN MEXICO, ETC. 17 



the leading grocers. American and Spanish sardines are imported in 

 important quantities, the choice of the one or the other bemg based 

 on personal taste or business reasons of the moment. A few other 

 American and European, principally Spanish, preserved fish products 

 are available in unimportant quantities. None of the important 

 products are reexported. No statistics or estimates are availably at 

 the local customs and internal revenue offices as to importations. 



The importations of foreign preserved fish products are now on the 

 decrease and will be very small until the henequen industry has a 

 favorable reaction, which may not occur for a couple of years. The 

 only present means of advertising American fish products and 

 stimulating their use is by means of correspondence with importers 

 and by soliciting the patronage of American export commission 

 houses.
