London Jan 6. l a. m.-The English press
is alert to discover signs OF DISSATISFACTION III
Germany with the Venezuela settlement ana
the Monroe Doctrine. The AnSlo-Gerlnan alii-
ance is still deplored by journals OF both parties
as a serious diplomatic blunder, and every eS-
pression of German dislike for the United states
or German scepticism respecting Castro's con-
tinuance I'm power or the willingness of his sue
cessors TO pay the awards of the arbitrators is
emphasized. 1t is asserted by prominent jour-
nails that the maintenance of the blockade and
additional acts of punitive character viii
drive Castro out of public life, empty the treas
ury and intensity the condition OF pohticai
anarchy and render the processes OF reparatioi
i,npractcahle and that England by the foolsh
action of the Foreign Office is committed 10
s,Ipport German measures for proloneins the
period of disturbance and impairing the moral
influence of the Monroe Doctrine. Some of these
views are pessmstic, but the unpopularity OF
the dual alliance for the collection of debts is
mmistakable. Many German journals have
clearly lost their temper and are equally irr1-
tated by American suspicion and English re-
proaches The financial panic at Caracas has
taused little excitement here, and Nenezuea
bonds actually rose | per cent yesterday.
London bankers who have business with the
Bank of Venezuela say il is respectable ana
sound under ordinary conditions, and they point
out that 1t was probably better to close the
doors than to run the risk of wholesale robbery
by Castro's administration.

The year has opened with excellent prospects
for the North of England coal trade. The con-
ditions which applied at the close of 1907 still
obtain and are even accentuated, as 1t is abun-
dantlv evident that the American demand is
destined to continue for Some time yet. The
West Indies are now under the necessity or op-
tanning coal from this country. and positive
orders are in the market for Havana and Glen
fuegos in addition to those for New-fork, bos-
ton and Providence, for which steamers are
being regularly fixed to load i'm the Tyne. The

conciliation board has agreed that wages shall
remain unchanged for the succeeding three
months.
