THE COLOMBIAN WAR.
City of Cucuta the Scene of Great
Dissolution.


Dissolution.
Panama, Colombia, Oct. 19.--Little is
known in any part of Colombia regarding
the conditions existing in the other sec
tions of the country. Such points as are
connected by telegraph or cable are held
by the government, and ut such places thu
bulk Of news conveys grandiloquent mar
ratives OF victories achieved over the
Liberals, clothed in all the beauty of the
Spanish language.
The fact remains, however, with all the
pertinacity of truth that the civil war
goes melrily on. and there is not ray
of light to Indicate its probable ending.
Meanwhile the country is being drained
of all its resources, and the most pitiful
poverty prevails in all directions. The
interior Of this naturally fertile and rich
land is devastated. Colombia will, at the
end of the war, be country of paupers.
Both factions strive, with commendabla
energy, not to be outdone in whatever
may cause the greatest injury to the op-
ponent and to those whose principles"
are known to be antagonistic.
The city of Cucuta, the erstwhile Lib
eral stronghold near the Venezuelan
frontier, was captured by the government
forces after siege of 20 days. Ac-
counts Of the acts of brutality and the
horrifying scenes that met the eye after
the surrender of Cucuta have appeared in
the newspapers of AIaracaibo, Venezuela.
This place, it appears, was nearly RACED
to the ground Bodies lay in the debris
in the streets in a state of putrefaction.
A drunken soldiery was let loose amid
the nearly starved inhabitants, and every
sort of bestiality was committed.
Cucuta is not an isolated case. Similar
instances are of quite frequent occurrence
in the changing fortunes of war, which
may he compared to the ebb and flood of

THE STATE OF TRADE.
Comment by Dun's Review on the
BUSINESS of the Week.

Business of the Week.
New York, Oct. 19.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says:
Wheat has shown more weakness, due
i'll part to the greater activity at Russian
ports, and Atlantic exports for the week
We're only 2,G47,235 bushels against
3,2T0,226 II year ago. Corn also declined,
but is q cents above last year, which may
account for the loss in exports, in three
weeks T,G51, ,165 bushels against 1924.
406 in 1899.
Few important fluctuations occurred in
iron and steel, but there were small ad-
vances in besscmer pig at Pittsburg and
billets mt Philadelphia. Moderate gains
are reported in the volume of transac-
tions, although the tendency is to delay
large contracts a few weeks. Implement
makers take bar iron freely, however, and
orders for pipe are urgent with severe
weather coming on. Structural shapes
are taken for foreign points as far dis
tant as Egypt, and domestic bridge build
ers buy freely. More mills have gone into
blast, and the general tone is improving.
Production of coke has increased, but
prices are easy and many ovens still idle.
Tin declined again, making the fall 1N
cents in two weeks and cents from the
high point in July.
Leather and hides are firm and selling
freely because of steady improvement in
demand for boots and shoes. Jobbers are
placing large orders with manufacturers,
and demand is no longer limited to fall
and winter goods. Spring contracts are
increasing ut an encouraging rate, al
though an effort is made to keep these
sales as quiet as possible, owing to the
effect on the market for raw material.
Failures for the week were 209 in the
United States against 145 last year, and
26 in Canada against 20 last year.
