FIGHTING IN GUATEMALA.


A special from San Jose de Guate.
mala says civil strife and bloodshed
have followed the killing Of Barrios.
Before the body of the late ruler had
found sepulchre the factions were fly
ing at each others throats, and as q
result General Marroquin, the chief
supporter of frospero Morales, one OF
the aspirants to the presidency, is
dead, and his forces are seeking safety
in fight.
Thursday night General Marroquin
attempted to seize the reins OF govern
ment in behalf of Morales He made
an attack in force on the palace bar
racks. The assault was vigorously rea
sisted, and in the fighting General
Marroquin ana few others were
killed. Seeing that their efforts would
not prove successful, the attacking
forces, consisting of 1000 men, head
ed by General Majera and Colonel Ar
revalo, fed from the city.
General Toledo, who has been ap.
pointed minister of war by Manuel
Cabrera, the president pro tenn. of the
republic, ordered the artillery in pur-
suit of the fleeing reyolutionists.
The populace and soldiers are now
demanding that General Mendoza be
proclaimed president. The situation
is becoming more alarming and the

WEEKLY REVIEW or TRADE,
Business Is Pushing Toward Spring
Activity Earlier Than Usual.
COTTON 4 SHADE HIGAER Foa THE WEEK.
The Output of Pig Iron for February the
Largest Ever Known and 1t Will Soon
Prove Inadequate to Meet the De-
mand-Advance in Wheat,
R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of

r. G. Dun & Co.. S weekly review Of
trade says.
Business is pushing toward spring
activity rather early. The events which
have controlled are the good buying of
iron by the largest makers, the rise in
cotton with strength in goods, the great
railway consolidation and the Cuban
instruction. The latter, with its pos
sibilities, operates as brake on specu-
traders have given foreigners much de-
sired opportunity to buy stocks heavily.
January railway earnings, $38, 8,017,-
Alt already reported, are Is. 6 per cent.
better than last year, and 9.5 better
than in 1892, showing the best month
in six years at least and February re-
turns thus far are promising
The output of pig iron February !
was 800, 1923 tons weekly, the largest in
the history OF the business, but the re-
ported buying of 13O, 900 tons Bessomer
iron by the Carnegie company and 100,-
600 by anothero of the largest steel con-
Germs, nevertheless means decision by
precedented output of pig iron will
soon prove too small for the growing
demand for finished products. The
Illinois Steel company has contracted
for q million tons Bessemer ore and
producers of other ranges count upon
an advance in price. Bessemer pig
rose to $40. Is, and grey forge to 80 at
Pittsburg, with finished products gen
orally stronger and in larger demand
than ever at this season. Rail con-
tractors already cover, it is said, more
than last years production. Plate and
sheet contracts for the season are I'M
precedented.
The rise in cotton 5-16c for the week,
results in part from better prospects
for manufacture here and abroad, but
only in part. Spectators became per-
suaded that efforts for short crop
this year would prove effective and
heavy short covered. The actual
movement shows that no change of
consequence, but prices of goods have
stronger tone and foreign prospects
are better. With the better tone pre-
vailing, the manufacture should soon
feel the same strength as other manu-
factures.
For the better grades of woolen
goods an advance averaging 17.5 per
cent from last year is readily main
tanned.
The opening of works idle for
year, in spite of the heavy production
already assured, is striking feature
in this, as in the iron and other indus
tries, and implies heavier demands for
products than are now met by the un-
precedented output.
Wheat has been strong with spot
advancing &c and May 2ac, though the
exports have decreased. For the last
two weeks, Atlantic exports have been
5,274, ,43S bushels flour included),
against A, 026, 596 in the two weeks last
year, with Pacific exports large.
1t is yet too early for prospects, of o
coming crop to influence markets ma
terially, and heavy operations at
Chicago, with reported sales of mil
lion bushels for export on Thursday,
have deferred speculative selling.

PROGRESSING RAPIDLY.


Paving Around the Ohio River Freight
Depot will be Done Soon.
The work of paving the drive
way around the Ohio River Rail
roads passenger and freight sta
tons will soon have been completed.
w. F. Rice, of this city. who has
the contract tor doing the work, is
pushing it along as rapidly as pos
sible and already quite lot of the
paving has been done.
Yesterday there was force of
about fifty men at work paving, and
the work was completed as far down
as tie end of the freight station.
The paving is to extend as far as
the lower end of the freight house
and perhaps farther than that, as
there are always a lot of cars which
cannot be gotten to the depot, and
unless that part of the yard is paved
too the present paving will be OF
little benefit.
The paving of this street has
been held back a little on account
of the railroad company not being
able to get the brick and sand as
soon as was anticipated. ",."@

There is one incident of the

a New York hospital writing. 1t
occurred at the field hospital.
About dozen of US were lying
there. A continual chorus of means
arose through the tree branches

hands and bare arms dripping and
clothes literally saturated with
blood, were straining every nerve
to prepare the wounded tor the
