WANT AMERICAN CUTLERY.
The importation OF cutlery from this
country could be greatly increased. one
of the largest native dealers in cutlery ex-
pressed desire to Mr.. Proskauer TO make
closer connections with American manu-
facturers. A beginning has been made in
the sale of knives, forks, hatchets. axes.
hammers and files, the latter preferred to
all others Crowbars. shoveis, spades hoes,
scissors. are almost exclusively purchased
in England. The ma tchete, of which tens
of thousands are sold annually are all
bought in England. 1t would not take
much effort to secure that trade a t present.
Mr.. Proskauer suggests that il would
be profitable if some large tannery in the
United States were to establish a branch
in Venezuela for the purpose of manurac-
turing uppers. The manufacture of sole
leather has reached large proportions there,
but large quantities OF goat and deer skins
for hides are exported. There is no manu-
factory for uppars.
But the chief thing wanted is American
capital invested in banks. Attempts have
at various times been made to obtain bank
ing concessions. but have always been ac-
companied with such conditions is to make
their denial necessary and imperative. Now
anything will be granted To Americans.
There are only two banks in the country.
one at Caracas. the other at MaraCaibo.
They have proven very profitable. But the
want of such Institutions in the agricultural
districts is very much felt. Large planters
often need ready money and he must go to
the large merchant or usurer. In the latter
case he pays / s per cent per annum. If
he deals with the former he must purchase
his supplies there. paying a large profit.
The planters paper and collateral are un-
questioned.
All values in the country are based on
gold, gold of all nations being current
as commodity. Silver of other countries
is forbidden circulation. but that of vene
zuela is on parity with gold and is ac-
cepted in payment of all dues public and
private. without loss. This is due to the
fact that the government never coins
silver in excess of the amount it can re-
deem in gold.

Mr.. Proskauer. speaking of the minerals
and woods of the country, says: "Tradi-
ton is that many rich gold and silver
mines, worked both by the old Indians
and Spaniards. exist in this consular
district, not over fifty miles from Puerto

Preliminary Steps Toward Reorganization

New York, February 2l.-The Herald
this morning says: There are signs that
early steps will be taken for the reorgani-
cation of the Northern Pacific railway,
1t is believed tina. an alliance with the
Great Northern has been given UP for
the present, although tho project may
be revived after the Northern Pacific is
placed on its feet and several legal ques-
tons have been settled I'm the courts.
While Mr.. Morgan will probably take a
leading hand In the iinancierng of the
property, 1t is said that the several IN
terests are likely to come together and
compromise their differences In order that
the REIMBURSEMENT may be carried through
without delay. The effort to agree upon
common receivers, which Is expected To
meet with success this week IN the United
States circuit court of this district, Is the
first step in the programme. There VIII
be a conference within a few days be
tween Edward d. Adams, representing
