(Correspondence of The Associated P?88>?Food is so expensive and so ditt**^; to obtain in Mexico, one of the most fertile countries in the world, that 1 he poor are suffering want and even starvation while the more pros'perous Mexicans find it difficult to provide sustenance for their families. Prices of food in the United States, even if considered by American housewives to be hitch, are not to be compared with those prevailing in Mexico since the embargo was placed on the exportation of foodstuffs from the .United States to neutral countries. An opportunity to compare Mexican prices for staple articles with those obtaining in the United States is nfforded by the following quotations from merchants here: on x- - J uuKai Bfiis 1U1 ^ I tOULB a PWUIUI, American money, and is very scarce at this prire. American butter brings 90 cents a pound, gold, and is the occasion for celebration in the Mexican homes when it can be obtained at this price. Butter is unknown among the poorer classes. Flour sells for 16 cents a pound and is growing more expensive as the embargo restrictions are made more stringent. Little wheat bread is eaten by the middle and lower classes who use flour for making tortillas, a cake made of flour and water. American brands of coffee sell as high as 75 cents a pound and is very scarce. Mexican green coffee brings 26 cents a pound and is roasted over charcoal bres as it is used. Rice, used principally by the Chinese and Japanese living in Mexico, is worth 12 cents a pound. Lard is another article which lias than doubled in price because of the American embargo. It brings 95 cents a pound when it can be obtained. The principal source of supply is the smuggler.

This is the highest in the history of Mexico. The red frijole bean is much preferred to the American white bean. No ham or bacon can be bought here at the present time. The last shipment received sold for 83 cents a pound. Chile peppers, grown in all parts of Mexico, are the only foodstuff which j hps not increased in price. It sells I itWs ents a pound. Small purchases are the rule in the 1 small Mexican stores and shops. The ' centavo, or penny, formerly was the most used medium of purchase and exchange. It was not uncommon for children to ask for one cent's worth of sugar, lard or even flour. Because of the increased cost of such commodities the five-cent piece has taken the place of the cent as the most used medium. Central markets supply vegetables, fresh and dried meats and other commodities. The Chinese gardeners have obtained a monopoly of the green grocery business and they raise great quantities of vegetables on their well tended farms near this and other larger cities. The Chinese also carry vegetables from place to place in l?i:r baskets suspended from a yoke which the peddler balances over his neck.
