NEW TORK, Jan. 22. R. O. Dun A Co.' Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Heavjr transaction In merchandise are reported, hut there la much complaint re garding the slow movement of trlght. The sitjtlbn as to general lines Is aggravatd ny the precedence given fuel over all other freights except live stock and perlshaole g-ous. Notwithstanding the extensive Increase In transporting fscliltlee during the past year some roada have been compelled to decline consignments, and In many cuses where a large numtr of cars were desired only one wha provided. Karnlngs thus far available for January auri ass last year a by i per cent. It Is conspicuous In practically every section of the country that, despite high prices, buy ing Is lloeral and of the better qualities of goods, while dealings as a rule are on more of a cash basis. Demand for building materials Wi un usually brisk for the season, snd price of lumber In the south have advanced. Foel Famlae Still Serious. Although fortunate sections are receiving better supply of fuel the situation Is still serloue, and many pig Iron furnace have been addd to the Idle list. As producers have sold their capacity for aometlme, tnere Is little new business, and no effort on the part of the sellers to secure contracts. Hence prices of pig Iron are steady and new transactions light. As to the demand for finished products requirement are still pressing In every equipment, both structural and rolling stock, and It lx stated thit orders have been placed for ae many tons of steel rails as were produced In the full year I'Jii. Hteel for buildings, bridges and ships finds a ready market, and Implement makera are becoming more active. New orders for merchant steel are light, but old contracts are still numerous. New Kngland producers of boots and ehrck are actively engaged on seasonable lines, and there Is enough business on hund to keep most pinnts In operation two months at least. New business comes for ward rather slowly, and there are few sup plementary ordera for spring lines. Trade In leather Is better, domestic shoe manu facturers operating on a more liberal acale, while export aales of sole are Increasing. C'ottoa Situation Grow Btroaarer. A to cotton goods the situation grow steadily stronger, demands for Immediate needs prevent accumulation of supplies and leaving an increasing number of or ders unfilled. A few opening advances In quotatlona are recorded, while a quiet cur tailment of discounts Is reported In prog ress. Orders for print clottia at less than 3'v are rejected and wide goods are also firmly held. Kxport buying has practically ceased. With the exception of a tew of the finest grade woolen goods for the fall of 1903 are now fully opened.

It was unex pectedly attacked by Fort Ran Carlos, which opened a heavy fire. To this Panther replied and a cannonade was exchanged for half an hour. Owinc to the difficulties of navigation Panther then desisted. In order to exact an Immediate punish ment for this attack, the more so as the Veneiuelan government proclaimed It a victory, I bombarded the fort with Vlncta on the 21st Inst, and destroyed It. The Foreign office has not received any representation from Secretary Hay rela tive to the bombardment. Helchataar Dlaeaase Rattlea. In the Reichstag Foreign Secretary von Rlchthofen expressed the hope that the Venezuelan difficulties would soon be set tled. He said: "The negotiation at -Washington, It Is hoped, will show en early result, rendering It possible to raise the blockade. So long a the blockade exists, however, respect for It must be enforced. The action against Marscaibo was undertaken for this pur pose." "It has been said," continued the for eign secretary, "that we went Into this affair 'dashingly, with drurr.s and trum pets.' Dashingly, I admit, from the mo ment when we appealed to arms. But with 'drums and trumpets' I cannot admit. On the contrary, we went to the extreme limit of patience and long-suffering. "The Venezuelan government not only refused to settle the debt contracted with Germans, as is generally admitted, but at the same time committed brutal acts of violence against Germans and German property. "We made complaint of these matters j through diplomatic channels, but did not succeed In making progress on this basis. In one memorandum communicated to us through a note, Venezuela characterized our Intended course in the affair a in sulting, inadmissible, outrageous and pie post eroui. "We made proposals to settle the con troversy by arbitration as early as July, 1901, at a time when, by way of excep tion, no civil war prevailed in Venezuela, and the president was perfectly able to jatlsfy our claims." Reaaona for the Bombardment. The correspondent of the Associated Press has received written replica from the chief of the foreign office to these ques tions: First. Why did the ships bombard Fort Ban Carlos? Answer Official news regarding the Pan ther's reasons for forcing the entrance of the lagoon of Maracaiho haa not yet been received. So far as the situation can be understood from here the seizure of the lagoon wa necessary to an effective block ade of the harbor of Maracalbo.' Otherwise it would have been possible to convey all sorts of merchandise over the adjacent Colombian frontier, particularly arms and ammunition, across the lugoon to Mara calbo, and thence Inland, thus rendering the blockade completely futile. Appar ently Fort San Carlos tried to prevent the entrance of the Panther Into the lagoon, and It must have been, tberefore, neces sary to silence It. Second. Why did tne German ships alone take part In the bombardment? Answer The fact that only German ships took part In the bombardment Is obvloumy explained. Maracalbo harbor lies in the western part of the coast line, which was belna blockaded bv the German forces. Third. When will the blockade be raised? Answer No decision has yet been reached by the Interested powers as to when the blockade of the Venezuelan coaet shall be raised, Venexaela Claims Position. MARACAIBO, Jan. 23.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan. 23. 10 a. m. I'p to this hour no news has been re ceived here tending to confirm the report that the German warship Panther had en tered Lake Maracalbo and that the Vena zueland cruiser Miranda had surrendered to it. The rumor la believed to be with out foundation. Irritation Felt at Washington. WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. Notwithstand ing the irritation felt in government circles at what Is regarded as the purely needles and revengeful bombardment of the Ven ezuelan forts by (he German warships, the conclusion is that this incident will not prevent Mr. Bowen from successfully car rying out his mission of peace. The utterance of Count von Buelow in the Relchsag yesterday are regarded here as conveying the Intimation that the Ger man warship are acting by direct ordera from their government, for the purpose of avenging themselves for the repulse of Panther in Its first attack upon these fort. However thla may be, the I'nlted State government cannot at thla moment see any proper excuse for entering Into this quar rel beween Germany and Venezuela. It 1 again, and emphatically, atated that when the I'nlted States exercised It good offices to the extent of bringing tha allies and the Venezuelan government Into ne gotiations It exhausted Its proper func tions in that direction and could do do more. Mr. Bowen 1 again declared to be not the representative of the United Stale, but of Venezuela, and the Stat depart ment I very careful to preerv the ap pearance of independence on Mr. Bowen' part by declining to receive any reports from him or even encourage hi vlalta.

In an ef fort to prepare a Joint reply. The departure of the German charge from Caracas, after the presentation of his ultl- 1 matum (wi'ti the ensuing attack upon the legation bulMingi and the repulse of Pan ther by the Venezuelan forts, is regarded as affording motives, but not excuses, for the continued hostilities of the German men-of-war. It is understood that both these inci dents have been the source of consider able chaxrin to the German emperor, and his orders to Vlncta. Falke and Panther are not surprising. It is hoped, ho vever, that the fatalities reported yesterday from the forts will be sufficient to avenge Ger man pride. Delay is to be expected In tho ntgotia Hons at Washington, because of the lim ited powers given thj representative of the allies here. It appears that they arc unable to make a move save under specific Instructions from thejr foreign ofTlces. Reports from London that Mr. Bowen came to Washington witn documentary evidence of the collusion of the German government with the revolutionist in Venezuela for the overthrow of Castro arc lacking of confirmation here, Mr. Bowen being unwilling, as yet, to affirm or deny them. It is stated, however, that the revolu tionists are finding no trouble tn securing ammunition and arms from some source.
