TRADE REPORT.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'s Week
ly Review of Trade last week says:
Trade and speculation experienced
the customary holiday quiet, except in
Christmas goods, which sold freely,
many packing and shipping depart
ments being still engaged on this class
of work, which could not be complet-
ed at the specified time. Industrial
undertakings are interrupted in many
cases by the taking of inventories,
while other plants are closed because
fuel cannot be obtained. Orders still
come forward freely and the new year
will open with more business on the
cooke than ever before. Prices of
commodities are firmly held by the
steady domestic demand and there is
good export movement of the lead
ing staples. In this, as in many other
instances, however, there is still a
drawback of inadequate transportation
facilities which restrict shipments 70
the seaboard. Financial conditions are
satisfactory.
An unexpected favorable feature has
appeared in the market for cotton
goods.
Failures for the week numbered 200
in the United States, and 81 in Canada

WILL ARB|TRATE At HAGUE
THE DISPUTE TO BE SETTLED
THERE.
This Is the Decision of the Cabinet
and President RooseVelt--the DIFF.
ferent Powers Have Agreed to the
Plan-Brtsh Government not much
Observation-Disclosures Speak.

Washington.-Arb of the
disputes between Venezuela and Great
Britain, Venezuela and Germany, Ven
and Nenezeula and other nations will
be entrusted to The Hague tribunal.
This decision was practically arrived
at at a meeting of President Rosse-
welt and cabinet.
Meanwhile the blockade of Venezu-
ella will be continued by German and
British war vessels until some decis-
ion or agreement is reached by her
foes. 1t is hoped they will soon call
off the blockade.
London.-Except by the opponents
of the government, who view it as
virtual defeat and as discrediting the
ministery, the latest phase of the Vene-
zuelan trouble has been welcomed very
| lukewarmly. Arbitration by President
Roosevelt has been anticipated as so
desirable an issue from a difficult bus
mess that his refusal, which is re-
garded as final, has caused keen dis
appointment. 1t is foreseen that, even
if satisfactory conditions to the sub
mission Of the disputes to The Hague
court can be arranged, this method will
entail endless and wearisome details,
with no assurance that at the end
President Castro still will be in power,
or Venezuela in the mood to abide by
the decision of The Hague. In short,
the element of guarantee which would
have accompanied President Roose-
velts acceptance of the office of arbi-
traitor is now lacking.
At the same time it is readily ad-
mitted that from the American point
of view President Roosevelt has acted
wisely in declining to act.
The foregoing represents tie gener
al drift of newspaper comment this
morning. The only paper which real
ly welcomes the decision to refer the
Venezuelan matter to The Hague is
the radical Daily News, which sees a
chance of making arbitration once
more reputable theory, paying q
tribute to the GOODNESS of President
Roosevelt and the correct attitude OF
the United States during this sorry
business"
The Daily News says: "The Vene
zuelan crisis has done much to en-
= nance Mr.. Roosevelts reputation, an;
to bring home to Englishmen the es
sential friendliness of the American
people,"
The Daily Mail, in a violent attacl
upon the government, says:
THUS ends perhaps the most in
glorious episode in which Great Brit
ain has engaged in recent years."

crowds gathered in the streets ad-

widow weeds. Inside the building
there were military bands on each
floor, while Highland pipers, Punch
and Judy shows, theatrical troops and
tables full of toys, crackers and spec
ial chocolate boxes from the queen lent
vivid color and meaning to the cele-
bratiOn.
