This VH. tf t deal. Involving approxi mately 250,b0 square miles of terri tory utd sons 4,0o0,000 of population, is reported to be under the direction of Spey-r «V Cu., bankers, “f New York city, who have for a long time had extensive interests In Mexico, and which firm has previously financed a number of Important matters pertain ing to thut country It is stated that the plan of action Is not for tin United States to recog nize the Huerta Government and then (leal with it. but for the Mexican au thorities to deal primarily with Spey er A- Co , wiio will, in turn, deal with the United States. No recognition of the lluetta Government, it i« asserted, will be made pending the deal. The territory In question takes with it the ownership of the Magdalena Bay region, considered so important ternational bankers shall present to the Fnlted States Government the reported plan for cession, acting as agents for the United States and for the Mexican interests which now have large matters in the hands of the bankers. Vast railway interests, the major j portion of which are now held in the Unite*! Stati s, are affected by the j deal. The newest line on the map. sweeps through from the Texas l>nr- J der to the Pacific, almost entirely in i the region proposed to be ceded. The other railroads, leading from the Rio J Grande into Mexico, have a mu bat an-| tial part of their holdings in the re gion. Military Aspect. One of the most important consid erations presented in the negotiations' is the military aiofect. In the terri tory are many conflicting divisions of Mexican politics and many races, i ranging from the native Indian to tin I American citizen. The country i* mountainous and presents u difficult task for the military police.

Then there is a de mand for prime roasters weighing from 1 to 6 pounds at almost any sea son of the year. They must, however, be well fattened and in the pink of condition.
