financial condition of Mexico, both as regards the Federal Government 

 and the separate States. According to information supplied by the 

 Ministry of Finance the Customs receipts in the fiscal year 1911/12 have 

 fallen short of those of the year 1910/11 by 5 million pesos, and the 

 * receipts from the Stamp Tax by 400000 pesos. Although these figures 

 have no very great significance in the face of the reserve funds at the 

 disposal of the Government, thanks to the careful management of the 

 ex-President Porfirio Diaz, it is to be feared that the falling-off will grow 

 much greater still unless internal peace is very soon restored in the 

 country. A law has recently been passed, and came into force on Sep- 

 tember 1 st , by which the import duties are increased by 5 p. c. Furthermore, 

 the tax on alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine and liqueurs, has been 

 increased by 15 p. c. ad valorem.
