Cotton goods prices are steady except for
print cloths, talk Of curtailing production
is continued. Low price woolens continue
in most active demand in this branch of
trade. A heavy export demand is reported
and prices are considerably higher.
The price situation is one of comparative
steadiness. Foreign Impressions as to the
situation in Cuba are reflected in sharp ad-
vances in wheat, flour, corn and lard and
other food products.
Declines are to be seen in Bessemer pig
iron, steel billets, coffee, sugar and lead
while, as compared with a week ago, the
price of oats, pork, beef, molasses, copper
cotton, wool and the manufactured prod

Guatemala

''The resources of Guatemala are varied
and abundant" says w. Il. Curtis in the
April Forum. Coffee is the chief staple,
and the berry is as good as the best the
world provides. Corn and beans are the
chief food of the people. Sugar, tobacco
and other tropical plants can be raised
to an unlimited extent, onsthe hot lands
along the coast; while wheat and other
cereals yield rich harvests in the higher
and more temperate districts of the in
terror. Guatemala might easily sustain
ten times it's present population. The soil
Is rich and easily cultivated, and, unlike
the other Central American republics,
there is plenty of labor. Some parts of the
country are quite thickly populated, but
the others are covered with dense forests
and variety of timber which might be
easily made marketable IL means of trans
portatlon were provided. But, although
Guatemala is much further advanced
than the rest Of Central America, her rail-
way system does not exceed $50 miles,
there is no internal navigation, and the
wagon roads are in deplorabl condition
The mineral wealth of the country Is sup
posed to be large, but 1t Is only slightly
developed. The mines are inaccessible,
and, in the absence of modern machinery,
which at present cannot be conveyed to
them, cannot be worked with profit. The
government offers generous inducements
to immigrants. The land laws are liberal,
and efforts have been made from time to
time to secure the establishment of colo
nies and the pre-emption of public lands
Wy pi!Nale settierS. But all the accessible
area Is at present occupied and no for
eigner can expect to prosper in Guatemala
unless he has abundant capital which en-
ables him to purchase at high prices
plantations already developed. If peace
could be assured, If railways and wagon
roads could be extended into the interior
30 that the timber regions, the mineral de-
posits and the wild agricultural lands
could be reached as conveniently as the
new portions of our own country-Guate-
mala would offer great advantages to the
immigrant and would enjoy rapid devel-
